3 New Features and Enhancements in this Release

  1. Scenario Management
    • Linked Configuration and Scenario Definitions – Bidirectional referencing is now supported, allowing scenario definitions to reference configurations and vice versa.
    • Variable Frequencies in Scenario Execution – Users can define multi-frequency scenarios over a time horizon, for example: quarterly in Year 1, annually in Years 2–5.
    • Support for Long-Horizon Scenarios – Stress tests can now be defined with up to 30-year horizons, grouped into 5-year buckets, enabling climate risk stress testing.
    • Execution Controls – Flexibility to run scenarios in either parallel or sequential execution mode.
    • Scenario Infographics – Enhanced visualization capabilities extended to granular variables.
    • Document Management – Users can attach and manage documents at the scenario level.
    • Enhanced Temporal Controls – Projects now capture additional key dates: Base Reference Date, Current Value Date, Scenario Start Date, and Direct Forecast Date.
    • Retrospective and Future Scenario Simulation – Ability to run with today’s base date but analyze historical data, or use a historical base date with injected future assumptions.
    • Heterogeneous Scenario Variable Support – A single project can now support scenarios with different variable sets, improving flexibility.
    • Scenario Reuse – Historical scenarios can be copied, updated with current values/dates, and regenerated with updated pathways.
  2. Reporting and Metrics
    • One-Click Metric Reporting – Report all metrics across underlying models in a project with a single action.
    • Model-Driven Metric Onboarding – Automatic onboarding of metrics based on metadata (MD) dependencies, reducing manual effort.
  3. Variables and Metadata
    • Auto Population of Variables – Variables are auto-populated based on metadata relationships during project definitions, reducing manual effort and improving consistency.
    • Market Standardization for MEVs – Support for standardized and perturbed market economic variables (MEVs), with the ability to update downstream tables.
  4. Catalogs and Views
    • Model & Process Catalog View – A detailed catalog is now available to inspect models, calculators, their input variables, metrics, and scope.
    • Scope-Based Filtering – During project definition, models and processing engines are filtered automatically based on portfolio scope, with manual override available for privileged users.
    • Data Catalog Upgrade – Integrated with the latest version of Data Catalog.
  5. Execution and Controls
    • Run Abortion – Users can now abort in-progress runs to recover faster from bad inputs or misconfigurations.
    • Results Framework – All scenario output dimensions are now level-based.
  6. Platform Upgrades
    • MMG Upgrade – STSA Release 8.1.2.4.0 is aligned with MMG Release version 8.1.3.2.0.
    • Upgrade Path – Seamless upgrade support from STSA version 8.1.2.0.0 to STSA version 8.1.2.4.0.
