Update and add new Highcharts modules for use in Sisense plugins
Update and add new Highcharts modules for use in Sisense plugins The JavaScript library framework Highcharts is natively included in Sisense and is utilized in many native Sisense widgets as well as in numerous Sisense plugins. Although Sisense typically does not alter the Sisense Highcharts library version with every release, the versions of Highcharts included in Sisense may change when upgrading to a new major version release. Highcharts can load additional chart types and other types of functionality via JS module files that contain code-adding features such as additional chart types, which can be used within plugins along with additional code to create additional widget types. If a plugin utilizes a Highcharts module, you can source the module directly in the "plugin.json" file's source parameter, as shown in this example: "source": [ "HighchartModule.js", ], To determine the current Highcharts version being used in your Sisense version, you can use the "Highcharts" command in the web console while viewing any page on your Sisense server. After identifying the current Highcharts version, you can find the corresponding module hosted on the Highcharts code hosting website using the following URL format: https://code.highcharts.com/${Highcharts_Version}/modules/${module_name}.js For example: https://code.highcharts.com/6.0.4/modules/heatmap.js You can save this module and upload it to the plugin folder or replace the older module JS file simply by copying and pasting the code directly. Be sure to update the "plugin.json" file to point to the new module file if the file name has changed or if this is the first time the module is included. Simply sourcing the module file in the "plugin.json" file is sufficient to load the module into Highcharts; no further code is required to load the module.
Reducing Windows Memory Pressure by Removing unused JVM Connectors
Reducing Windows Memory Pressure by Removing unused JVM Connectors A simple technique can reduce memory pressure on Windows Sisense versions by inactivating unused JM connectors. To do this you should search for the Sisense JVM Connectors Configuration application from the Windows Start menu. After opening the Sisense JVM Connectors Configuration application simply uncheck any connectors which are not in use and press the Save button. The amount of memory saved varies depending on which connector. On average each connector uses 2GB. So if you inactivate 5 connectors, you just saved 10 GB of memory. If you need additional help, please contact Sisense Support. PLEASE NOTE: If you cannot locate the JVM as seen in the screenshot, the executable name is "usedConnectorsEditor.bat" and it should be located in the following directory C:\Program Files\Sisense\DataConnectors\JVMContainer\bin As seen in below picture.
