Managing Your Environment Updates and Transition

For more detailed information on how to plan and work through this transition, reach out to Technical Support for assistance.

Release 26.2 and Later

With the release of 26.2, Symphony has been restructured.

• Content previously managed in Visual Data Discovery or as embedded Visual Data Discovery content will be supported in Composer 26.2 and later releases.

• Content previously managed in Managed Dashboards and Reports will be supported in Dundas BI 26.2 and later releases.

Authentication Updates

Along with this update, if you used Symphony with Visual Data Discovery embedded content or Managed Dashboard APIs, you must update your authentication workflow. Symphony used the Dundas BI authentication model, but going forward, will use the Composer API authentication model.

API Updates

API user management orchestration is also impacted by this transition. Symphony Tenants, Users and Groups were managed by Managed Dashboards & Reports (Dundas BI). For a successful transition, you must retarget the API calls to Composer 26.2 or later releases before you update your environment.

Connect to Dundas BI Data

If you connected to data sources supported by Managed Dashboards & Reports (Dundas BI) you will need to complete several steps to reconnect your sources to that data. Complete these steps as you work with technical support set up your environment. See Modify Data Discovery Data Store Connections for more details.

Important: You will need appropriate licensing for all relevant integrations.

Artificial Intelligence Integration

For environments that are both moving to version 26.2 and are integrated with Simba Intelligence, there are a few specific changes that affect your environment.

Important: You will need appropriate licensing for all relevant components.

Routing

Simba Intelligence (SI) is served at the root path: /

Composer is served at: /discovery

Chatbot

The Simba Intelligence chatbot will only be available when accessing Composer through the Simba Intelligence URL or user interface. The chatbot does not function via the standard Composer URL.

Example:

• Composer deployment: example.com
• Simba Intelligence deployment: example2.com
• The chatbot functions are available only through the indicated options in the table below
