The Slate model that powers semantic reasoning of the IBM Planning Analytics Agent's Data Explorer feature is being deprecated. A new, updated model ships with PAW 2.1.23 and PAW 3.1.10.
All customers must upgrade to one of these releases and then analyze their data in the modeling workbench for agentic data navigation.
Minimum Version Required
You must be on one of these versions to regenerate tags with the new model:

What You Need to Do
- Upgrade Planning Analytics Workspace to PAW 2.1.23 (2.x) or PAW 3.1.10 (3.x). Do not attempt tag regeneration before this step — it will not succeed on earlier versions.
- Regenerate the analysis for all planning models where Data Explorer is in use. This replaces the existing semantic understanding generated in past releases. For reference on how to do so, please follow this link. This will require a user with modeler access to the environment.
- Validate Data Explorer by running a few natural language queries to confirm the feature is working as expected across your models.
Looking Ahead
This change is part of our ongoing commitment to keeping the Planning Analytics Agent grounded in the most capable and well-supported AI infrastructure. We will continue to communicate as our LLM strategy evolves. If you have questions about your upgrade path, please contact your IBM representative or IBM Support.
Summary
- The Slate model is deprecated and replaced with a new model in PAW 2.1.23 / 3.1.10.
- All customers must upgrade to PAW 2.1.23 or 3.1.10 to regenerate the Symantec understanding needed for the Data Explorer feature of the Planning Analytics Agent.
- Semantic analysis generated on earlier PAW versions is not supported — upgrade first.
- After upgrading, re-running the analysis flow in the modeling workbench is required for Data Explorer to function correctly.
