WEBVTT 00:00:01.200 --> 00:00:10.000 Hello and welcome to the MES Tool Release Highlights of Winter 2025/26. 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.920 Today we will talk about the MES Quality Commander® (MQC), 00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:19.120 the quality monitoring tool of choice. 00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:26.880 New with version 8.4 is an export of quality data for further processing by external systems. 00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:33.760 Export quality data for use and further processing outside of MQC, allowing for inclusion in broader 00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.880 company dashboards, analytics, and other use cases. Automate exports based on a schedule or 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:48.160 after new data has been imported, to ensure that the exported quality data is up to date. Configure 00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:56.400 the export in format and scope or implement your own adapter for the export. Let us have a look into 00:00:56.400 --> 00:01:04.560 MQC. Here we can see the quality page of our showcase. We can see on top the revisions of 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:12.880 our showcase over time where the quality improves. In the middle, we can see the heatmap that shows 00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:20.560 the current selected revision with a matrix of artifacts and quality properties. In addition 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:26.080 to that we also see some structures which are the sub characteristics and the teams to the top and 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:31.920 left. We can enable more structures or configure different ones. But at the moment these are the 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:38.720 ones that we are concerned about. So now if you want to export these values that we see here, 00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:47.040 we first have to ensure the Export Connector is enabled. The Export Connector is an adapter 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.800 that is shipped with MQC. At the moment, this is the only adapter for exports, 00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:59.280 which is for the export of quality for revisions, artifacts, and quality properties. If you want 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:07.760 to add your own custom adapter, have a look into the user guide to see how it is done. 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:15.200 After the adapter is enabled, we can go to the new export dialogue to add a new export. 00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:21.120 First, select the relevant connector. In this case the Quality File Exporter and select the dimension 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.640 that we want to export. So do we want to export the matrix of artifacts to quality properties, 00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:33.120 or do we want to just have the matrix of structures. So the matrix of teams to sub 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:39.360 characteristics for example. We can set other settings like if we want to include milestones, 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.920 a quality assessment scope, or if we want to limit the time, and we can even 00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:50.480 define if we want to have rounding and diff values. Well, maybe we want to include the 00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:58.000 diff values for revisions. Then we can choose the format JSON or YAML, and the type of the output. 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.920 Do we want to have a flat list or do we want to have a hierarchically displayed where it goes 00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:10.000 from revisions to artifacts to quality structures. Let us stay with the flat list for now. The next 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:16.960 step is to choose an output directory. We already prepared one in the MQC directory. We created an 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:24.560 export folder and we select it. Next come the file name. The file name is more than just the name, 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:32.880 it is also about what is exported. Is just one big file exported or do we have multiple files? 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:42.960 If we use a revision placeholder, we get one file per revision. If we use a daytime placeholder, 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:51.360 we get one file for imported dates. Let us choose the revision to create multiple files 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:56.560 and have a look at the triggers. We have three different types of triggers. One is the client 00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:02.000 side refresh. Then we have the server side refresh. So every time we import new data, 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:09.040 we get a new export. And we have the server side schedule. So we can add a schedule that is 00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:22.800 creating an export at a very specific time. For example, let us choose 12:00 every day. 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:33.040 So we have now a schedule created. After we add the export, we can save it to our project. 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.920 And now let us have a look into our export folder. At the moment, this folder is still empty because 00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:45.040 we have not yet triggered our export. The export is only triggered automatically if these triggers 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:52.240 are valid. Otherwise, we can also trigger it manually by clicking on the execute button. 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:58.080 Export is quite fast and it was already executed. Let's look back into the folder and we can see 00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:06.400 that for each revision an export was created. Another way of verifying that you get exactly 00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:12.160 what you want in your export. You can also use the download function to directly get 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:20.480 everything in one file. I click on it. I get the export as a download. And when I open it, 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:26.640 I can see that I get all these items here for all the different dates in combination 00:05:26.640 --> 00:05:33.600 of quality characteristic and team with a value and a diff value. Of course, 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:41.200 the first revisions do not really have a value, but here we can see a value and a diff value. And 00:05:41.200 --> 00:05:49.200 that is pretty much it about the new export in MQC. Thank you for listening.
