Windows 11 for Maconomy

Windows 11 is certified for use with Maconomy Workspace Client and Portal for Maconomy since February 2022.

Maconomy versions supported:

  • 2.6.1 and later
  • 2.5.x streams
  • 2.4.8
  • 2.3.4
  • 2.2.6

Windows 11 was tested on Maconomy version 2.5.4, with iAccess, as well as BPM and PeoplePlanner integration, using Chromium Edge as the default browser for web products.

This information was inadvertently left out of Deltek Product Support Compatibility Matrix, but it will be included in the next update.

Deprecation

06/2024

MConfig

Support will be removed for Maconomy versions earlier than version 2.4. Some functionality not explicitly related to specific Maconomy versions and assumed no longer in use will also be removed, such as backup setup and documentation databases. To handle Maconomy version 2.3 or earlier, you must use MConfig 10.3.

With Maconomy 2.6.3, deprecation warnings will display when starting MConfig or attempting to use MConfig features (such as installing a documentation database) on older Maconomy versions and on servers with old technology/applications.

Maconomy Report Designer - RGL

With the maturation of the BPM Reporting technology and the release of MPL4, the Maconomy Report Designer (also known as RGL) was moved to sustaining support in 2017. With Maconomy 3.0, the Maconomy Report Designer will no longer be included in the release.

For Maconomy 2.6.2 and later versions, Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit will no longer be supported.

SQL Server 2 2017 (64 bit)

Microsoft ended support for SQL Server 2017 (64 bit) on October 2022. For Maconomy 2.6 and later versions, Deltek recommends that you upgrade to a newer SQL Server version.

11/2022

Google Analytics

We are removing Google Analytics with Maconomy 2.6.1.

10/2022

VW Views

As of Maconomy 3.0, we plan to remove VW access views due to a lack of use. We will replace legacy BO views with faster performing and functionality-equivalent AX views.

10/2022

MScript

As of Maconomy 3.0, MScript and the SOAP API written in MScript will no longer be supported for customer's own use (Deltek will however continue to support MScript use in our own product integrations such as in People Planner).

10/2022

REST 1

As of Maconomy 3.0, REST 1 will no longer be supported for customer's own use.

10/2022

Java Analyzer Client

With the maturation of the web analyzer introduced in Maconomy 2.6, we retire the legacy Java Analyzer Client. With Maconomy 3.0, the legacy Analyzer and the accompanying view-based reports will no longer be available and only reports based on universes will be supported in the web analyzer. The analyzer links in the Workspace Client will be removed and new links will be added opening the web analyzer. Any custom view-based reports must be migrated to the universe technology to be available in the web analyzer.

10/2022

"Kerberos SSO" Login Desupported

From Maconomy 2.6.1, the old Kerberos login configuration, identified as "Kerberos SSO" in MConfig and based on a manually configured external ticket verifier command in MaconomyCustom.ini, is desupported and removed.

Instead, you can use one of the other Kerberos login methods, such as "Kerberos account login" or "Kerberos keytab file," which are better supported by MConfig and require no manual configuration steps.

04/2022

Updates as of 2.6

As of Maconomy 2.6, we are making the following changes:

  • Removing the Portal (replaced by web client)
  • Removing System Parameters defining host and port for EmailOnAction in MDML Layouts (replaced by server.ini configuration)
  • Removing legacy Azure AD Login Module
  • Removing MPL1 and MPL2 (replaced by MPL4)
  • Desupporting SQL Server 2012 and 2014
  • Desupporting our legacy MRL Reporting Technology

Beginning with 2.6, Maconomy stops using the "iAccess" brand. That is, it no longer maintains a distinct name for its web client. This change is implemented across the user interface, as well as in documentation and other materials.

06/2021

Monthly Time Reporting

The Monthly Time Reporting functionality is removed with Maconomy 2.6. If you are updating from a previous Maconomy version, you must disable the Monthly Time Reporting system parameter in order to proceed with the upgrade.

SAP BusinessObjects 4.3 SP3 Patch 5 Upgrade to Resolve Date Errors

Previously, Maconomy systems running BusinessObjects (BO) 4.3 SP3 Patch 4 encountered an error in which incorrect dates were processed from OpenLive (WSC) to BO. To resolve this, you must upgrade the SAP BO 4.3 SP3 to Patch 5.

Note: Currently, there is an issue regarding drill filters not working as expected. When you drill down and need to change the filter value using the drop down list, it is blank. As a workaround, you must drill up to the previous level and select the value.

02/2024

SAP BusinessObjects 4.3 SP3 Patch Information

On Maconomy 2.6.2, the recommended setup is BPM/SAP BusinessObjects (BO) 4.3 SP3 Patch 4. Customers can upgrade the BO 4.3 SP3 up to Patch 5. However, Maconomy is not compatible with higher patch versions (Patch 6 and above) due to changes in the crypto library, which result to a login error when viewing reports via the browser. Do not upgrade to Patch 6 or higher until further announcements.

Note: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for instructions on downgrading or uninstalling an incompatible patch for your BO platform.

12/2023

Maconomy BPM/SAP Upgrade

We recommend customers to install the latest patch (Patch 4) for Maconomy BPM/SAP BusinessObjects 4.3 SP3, which addresses the following issues:

  • Multi Tenancy Manager (MTM) logging implementation error
  • Inability to edit queries in some WebIntelligence (WebI) reports

This update also covers vulnerabilities mentioned in SAP Security Note # 3307833 (May 2023).
