For the IT Ops Engineer

RHEL 8 support

ThoughtSpot now supports installation on RHEL 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5. Refer to the RHEL deployment guide.

SAML assertion validity

ThoughtSpot now supports 2 methods to increase the duration of validity for your SAML assertion: the SessionNotOnOrAfter attribute and the maxAuthenticationAge parameter. You can ask ThoughtSpot to disable either one of these checks. If you use both, and either check fails, ThoughtSpot does not authenticate the user. Some IDPs do not support use of SessionNotOnOrAfter. If your IDP does not support use of SessionNotOnOrAfter, remove that attribute from your IDP assertion and ask ThoughtSpot Support to enable maxAuthenticationAge.

For the Developer

Customers embedding ThoughtSpot in software releases should continue embedding ThoughtSpot using legacy embedding tools, which remain supported in 7.x software releases. Upgrading an environment with an existing embedded solution leveraging the legacy embedded technology to SW v.7.x is supported and seamless from an embedding standpoint.

Supported Upgrade Paths

If you are running one of the following versions, you can upgrade to the 7.2.1.x release directly:

  • 7.0.x to 7.2.1.x

  • 7.1.x to 7.2.1.x

This includes any hotfixes or customer patches on these branches.

If you are running a different version, you must do a multiple pass upgrade.

First, upgrade to version 7.0.x or 7.1.x, and then to the 7.2.1.x release.

To successfully upgrade your ThoughtSpot cluster, all user profiles must include a valid email address. Without valid email addresses, the upgrade is blocked.
