Version Overview

Multiple versions of a service can be added to an existing service, called service versions. The Version Overview presents all of the service versions for the selected service. The significance of how multiple versions can be called used is described in Manage service versions and effective dates.

To access this feature, after choosing a specific service from Folder overview, choose the "Version Overview" icon from the service sidebar.

Review the history of versions

The History tab shows a list of all the service versions for a service.

• The service versions are shown in descending order.

• The "three-dot menu" also includes additional actions that can be taken on a service version.

Download the Version Overview as an Excel file

By clicking Download version overview, Spark will return an Excel file with a full list of all the service versions on this service. This also includes additional information such as any tags, Neuron versions used for compilation, filename and file sizes.

Review the service documentation for older service versions

The Service Documentation only includes the information from the latest version of a Spark service. To view the service documentation for older service versions, click the "three-dot" menu and choose View more.

Restore a previous version of a service as the latest version

Restore Version allows an older version of a Spark service to be set as the latest service version. The Release note will be populated to indicate which service version this was restored from.

Click the "three-dot menu" and choose Restore Version.

Download the service (Excel file)

Select different ways that you want to download the Excel file corresponding to the Spark service. You can also download the compiled Neuron file from this menu.

Remove Custom XML

Removing Custom XML is simplified with the Coherent Assistant Debugger tools.

Spark may have injected Custom XML into an Excel workbook. You can remove this by following these steps:

1. In Excel for Windows, click the File menu.

2. Then select Info, Check for Issues, Inspect Document. This option may be disabled if there are protections that are enabled on the workbook or any worksheets.

3. In the following modal:

   1. Check Custom XML Data.

   2. It is recommended to uncheck Hidden Rows and Columns as this option is unstable.

4. If any Custom XML is found, the Document Inspector will report Custom XML data was found.

5. Click Remove All to remove all the Custom XML embedded in the Excel file.

Submit a deployment request

Send the folder and service to initiate the Deployment request.

Test API calls against a particular service version

Click the "three-dot menu" and choose API Tester. This will navigate to the API Tester with the service version selected.

View the API call history for a particular service version

Click the "three-dot menu" and choose API Call History. This will navigate to the API Call History with the service version selected.

Recompile service

Click the "three-dot menu" and choose Recompile service. This brings up the same modal as Recompile service.

Visualize versions on a timeline

The Timeline tab presents a visual view of the service versions over time.

• The service versions are shown in descending order.

• The version that would be selected for the current date and time is highlighted in dark purple. See Manage service versions and effective dates for more information.

Compare service versions

To distinguish between different versions of a service, simply select any two versions using the checkboxes in the Compare column, and then click the Compare versions button. A pop-up screen will appear to display the progress of the model comparison process. Upon completion, Spark will prompt you to download a comparison report.

The comparison report in the Excel workbook format includes a summary sheet that tallies the updated content across different categories from the older version of the model to the newer one. This sheet also provides an overview of the changes made for all the named cell ranges. Additionally, the report attaches the worksheets of the newer model and highlights any modifications using different colors.

Any Visual Basic for Applications code in the original Excel workbook will be removed.
