This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 2.
The 1st of the new functionality in the Process mining section is scale faster with Process Mining thin client app.
The current Power Automate Process Mining app requires you to download the process model to the client computer. This download puts specific requirements on the hardware resources on the client computer. To unblock your resources, you can use the Azure Process Intelligence Analytic Service instead. With this service, you can use a lightweight desktop app with a process intelligence engine without the need to download the process model. The functionality of the thin desktop application offers features that are identical to the previous full desktop app. This allows you to scale faster, it supports larger process models, and doesn’t put specific requirements on your computers.
Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Sep 2024
General Availability: Nov 2024
Feature Details
Process Intelligence Analytic Service offers analytical functions in the form of an Azure API. When the desktop application connects to Process Intelligence Analytic Service, you have access to the identical functionality as in the full Power Automate Process Mining desktop app.
With Power Automate Process Mining thin client app, there’s no need to:
- Download the process model, which takes up your resources.
- Fulfill special hardware requirements when working with large process models.
- Install desktop application updates in case of analytical operation modifications.
