KNIME Business Hub 1.17.0 ​

(released Dec 04, 2025)

Important Notice

We are still assessing production readiness of KNIME Business Hub 1.17.0 for the OpenShift distribution. If you are deploying KNIME Business Hub into OpenShift, please do not install or upgrade to 1.17.0. KNIME will make an announcement or release a patch in the near future to ensure OpenShift compatibility.

Infrastructure changes ​

In ArgoCD, support for accessing AWS S3 buckets via EKS Pod Identities is now available.

New Features ​

GenAI Permission Management ​

The GenAI Gateway now supports global and team-level models with granular permission management for model sharing. The GenAI Models Hub page has also been redesigned for a significantly improved user experience.

In addition, we have substantially improved performance while reducing overall resource consumption.

Run History ​

A new Run History overview page is now available, providing a consolidated view of all job runs within a team. This includes not only active jobs still present on the Hub but also jobs that have already been deleted.

Job history is retained for 30 days by default, with the retention period configurable via KOTS.

Management Admin Role ​

Business Hub 1.17.0 introduces the new Management Admin role. This role allows designated admins to create teams and manage team resources without access to team content, such as workflows, data in private spaces, deployments, or jobs. (Documentation)

Additional Changes ​

  • The K-AI backend is now available for all KNIME Business Hub editions. In Basic and Standard editions, K-AI usage is limited to licensed users. (Documentation)
  • Added a bundled Grafana dashboard to collect executor metrics.
  • Schedule retries: Hub will now retry starting scheduled jobs if loading fails due to a temporary service outage. Retries continue for the duration of the job load timeout (default: 5 minutes). This mechanism does not affect failures occurring during actual workflow execution.
  • For newly created schedules, service deployments, and trigger deployments, the default behavior is now to delete jobs immediately after successful execution, helping free up executor resources. Failed jobs are still retained for debugging. Existing deployments are unaffected.
  • Jobs now have a default maximum execution time of 24 hours. This can be overridden at the execution context level or for individual deployments. Existing deployments and execution contexts that already had a custom value set for this remain unchanged.
  • Newly created execution contexts now delete jobs after 24 hours by default (previously 7 days).
  • Hub UI enhancements:
    • It is now possible to rename workflows directly in the Hub UI.
    • Workflows can now be moved or copied to another destination from the Hub UI.
    • New option to copy a short link to a workflow, making sharing and referencing workflows easier.

New Data Apps ​

  • Executor Image Manager:
    • Merged the Executor Image Builder and the Manage List of Executor Images apps into a single interface. Added support for image deletion to free up unused disk space.
  • Customization Profiles:
    • Enabled downloading of customization profiles, improved configuration file generation and editing, and aligned related documentation.

Notable Bug Fixes ​

  • Fixed a bug where an incorrect profile location was used for customization profiles.
  • Fixed a bug where the "share with all logged in users" option was not available for KNIME Business Hub Basic Edition licenses.
  • Fixed a bug where SCIM user provisioning failed if a user with different casing exists in keycloak.
