PROBLEM SOLVED

9245

Alarm Management

In certain cases problems would occur recording the TimeStamp of an alarm.

 

9226

Alarm Management

In certain cases Movicon would remain pending in the Alarm Manager arrest phase when stopping a project. This would happen when a large number of defined variables connected to an OPC that were also connected to project alarms changed value quickly.

 

9161

Alarm Management

Changes to a project's Runtime User files would regenerate the Runtime Users List in the Parent project only, while any existing child projects, which shared the same file, would not load the updated list and continued using the initial users list present in the file at project startup.

 

9138

Basic Scripts

The "Sub Loading()" event of a Basic Script would not get executed if inserted within a Script shared through the "'#Uses" function.

 

9326

Basic Scripts

In certain conditions when executing a script code in an alarm's threshold an “(0) Active X error code = 0x8000ffff" error message would get generated.

 

9013

Basic Scripts

The 2 bit of a basic script's state variable would not get managed if script went into error. The 2 bit now changes to 1 if an error occurs and stays at 1 until the error window opened by the script is confirmed.  The bit is zeroed upon closing window.

 

9276

Basic Scripts

The "KeyDown" and "KeyPress" Script events used in a screen and in an objected would not always be notified correctly.

 

9363

Basic Scripts

When executing a script an "(0) ActiveX error code = 0x8000ffff" error would get generated. This problem was caused to the fact that the "InUse Objects Manager" was active.

 

9064

Comm.Drivers

The DataLogger, in certain situations when linked to the Communication Driver, would record the same record twice at project startup.

 

8367

Comm.Drivers

Only up to 116 Communication Drivers could be loaded in Windows Server 2003 and not more.

 

8965

Data Loggers Management

A Data Logger's "Print Tag " would not execute the Print command of the report associated to the DataLogger.

 

9033

Data Loggers Management

On several occasions a DataLogger's status variable would remain at the value "1" instead of returning to the value "0" while restoring the ODBC connection after an error had occurred.

 

9000

Data Loggers Management

A DataLogger's status variable would not get saved in the DataLLoggers file and therefore would not result when the project was reloaded afterwards. In addition it became impossible to set status variables for Recipe resources when project had been set with a Basic License.

 

8919

Data Loggers Management

When an array variable was used in a DataLogger as a record variable, two identical records would get inserted in the database.

 

8901

Design

When a Parent project inserted a Child project screen as its startup screen by specifying only the Child project's name comprising the dos bar and not that of the screen, Movicon would raise an error when validating modification.

 

8987

Design

When activating the command to create a variable group after having selected a member from a structure prototype, Movicon would raise an error.

 

9380

Design

Some problems would occur when referencing a Parent project variable from a Child project when this variable has been defined both at Parent and Child project level.  This occurred mainly when inserting such variables in basic script expressions belonging to objects.

 

9188

Design

Selecting an object within a screen would not always populate the Property Window which remained blank.  This problem would verify in concurrence of the following conditions:

 

  • Object used a structure variable in a basic expression enclosed between rounded brackets (i.e. "(MyStruct.VAR00001)")

  • The structure variable member was referenced within the expression using a full stop

  • The structure variable had its intellisense active

 

9409

Design

It no longer became possible to edit more than 259 characters in a screen's Alias Table or Parameter File.

 

8961

Design

In certain conditions saving a project would result with an empty ".movrealtimedb" file with project remaining in the 'Unsaved' status.

 

9413

Design

The SouceSafe command "Get Last Version" would not reset the compiled files (files with "_c" extension) and the Driver's ".dynsettings" file.

 

9357

DOM (Document Object Model)

The "ReconnectAll" function form the "OPCClientCmdTarget" interface would not work correctly.

9295

DOM (Document Object Model)

Setting the "Variable" and "EnableVariable" properties from the "EventCmdTarget" interface would have no effect.

9385

DOM (Document Object Model)

"GetZoomAreaDateTime*" functions in a Trend object would return an incorrect date equal to "30/11/1999". This problem would happen when the vertical cursor from the zoom area was in the Trend's start area which did not contain valid dates in the X axis time base.

 

9038

DOM (Document Object Model)

The "Print" property from the "AlarmThresholdCmdTarget" would not work. When this property was modified in Runtime the Alarm would not acknowledge the property's new value.

 

9369

DOM (Document Object Model)

In certain conditions the "GetAlias", "GetAliasListName" and "GetAliasListValue" function from the "SynopticCmdTarget" and "DrawCmdTarget" interfaces would fail.

 

8405

Events Resource

Events associated to a Parent Project's structure variable member would not get executed in a Child Project.

 

9214

IMDB (In Memory DB)

A recipe memorized on IMDB database was presumed deleted when going into runtime with the project, but apparently the file did not get deleted but renamed from ".dat" to ".datbackup".

 

8947

License

When using a "Basic" License, the Trend object would not get managed correctly and would not show data in runtime.

 

8964

License

The "Alarm Dispatcher" option would not show in the Licence Requirements window.

 

9347

Networking

The filter applied to alarm priorities in a Network Client Alarm Window would not work correctly.

 

8927

ODBC

Problems would occur when creating flush files to accommodate ODBC connection errors. This would particularly happen if the DSN had been created as "User DSN" instead of "System DSN".

 

9393

ODBC

The SQL Server 2005 and 2008 ODBC plug-in would not use the driver set in for default in the source code.

 

8966

OPC Communication

A project set for connecting to one or more OPC Servers would generate a rather misleading error message in the log when one or more OPC Servers were unavailable at project startup. This message has now been changed whereby setting the "Reconnection Time" to the '0' value no attempt will be made to reconnect to the Server by Movicon after a first connection error occurrence.

 

8897

OPC Communication

The quality of an OPC item would not get managed correctly if the item in question was non existent.

 

9230

OPC Communication

Problems with updating variable qualities connected with the OPC Server Factory Talk (Rockwell).

 

8944

Real Time DB

When using a array variable connected to a Communication Driver and one or more of its elements went into use for the first time, the Driver would execute a array variable write even though the variable's value had not changed.

 

8635

Real Time DB

Values with floating points saved in a database had a limited 6 figure precision after the point. This precision is now managed according to the "FloatingPointPrecision" registry key.

 

9009

Real Time DB

When a structure variable was expanded within the Watch window to see the values of each individual member, these values would show set to 'unknown'  when changing tab and then returning back again.

 

9035

Recipes Management

Some recipe status variable bits would not work properly.

 

9078

Recipes Management

Setting the Movicon language to German and then creating a new Recipe resource, the name of the "Recipe Index" column would insert as "Rezept-Index". This would then create a problem due to the fact that not all databases support the "-" character. This character is now nolonger inserted.

 

8955

Recipes Management

When a Float Array variable was used in  a Recipe object, the values loaded from the database would lose their decimal part.

 

9115

Report Management

The Pen Points of a Movicon Embedded Report's Chart/Trend in WinCE would show enlarged.

 

8799

Report Management

Reports could not be viewed from Child projects in a Network Client created with Parent-child architecture. It is now possible to do so providing that the ODBC connection used by the Child project for recovering data is linkedto the Server project's database.

 

9100

Report Management

Generating a Movicon Embedded Report would take up a lot of time when containing more than few pages. Now in Win32/64 bit performances have been very much improved, but only if transparency or visibility animations are not used in the report.

 

8946

Report Management

The union query in the Movicon Embedded Reports which is executed in the Historical Log window would only apply the data filter in the last table.

 

9507

Report Management

The Embedded Report management had not been enabled in the Movicon BA version.

 

9390

Screen Management

The Maximize and Minimize buttons would not display in a window opened in "Frame" mode even though the their relating options had been activated.  Now, likewise with Modal windows, the Minimize (reduce) button even though displayed is always disabled.

 

9031

Screen Management

The use of Aliases in object "Default Structure" fields would not function.

 

9077

Screen Objects

When a Trend object was stopped from a Network Client or Web Client, the time reported in the "Break Values Area" was incorrect.

 

1061

Screen Objects

The OnColumnClick event would not function and if there was associated script code it was not performed.

 

8893

Screen Objects

When changing pages among screens containing Embedded Screens, the events of the Embedded Screen objects would not be notified.  As a consequence these objects would not respond to any click operations. This condition would come into being if the Screens had been enabled with the "Keep in Memory" option.

 

8889

Screen Objects

Moving an object with animated movement in progress within a screen inserted as an Embedded Screen had negative results if the "Keep in Memory" option had been enabled in the main screen.

 

9046

Screen Objects

When the temporary log was displayed in an active Alarm Window, the status change of the alarm's variable a Message Box would appear showing an "Invalid Argument" error message.

 

8973

Screen Objects

When an Embedded Screen or TAB Group was used in a Parent project for displaying a Child screen, the command of these screen would execute within the context of the Parent project and therefore would not function correctly above all if Parent project had several Child projects using resources with the same name (i.e. screen names). These commands are now executed by searching the resources first in the Child project.

 

Incompatibility:

This fix may cause problems in projects from previous versions in cases where, for example, commands executed from Child projects have been "adapted" to work around the original problem of this case.

 

9094

Screen Objects

A Display object's "OnTextChanged" event would not be notified when the Display's "Prompt Pad" property has been enabled.

 

9388

Screen Objects

A Trend in pause mode would move to the initial page each time a pen was selected within the legend.

 

9446

Screen Objects

The Trend's recording functionality, by means of using the "Add Values" variable, would not work correctly and the variable would not reset after having been set to the '1' value.

 

9450

Screen Objects

An Alarm Window or Alarm Banner object connected to a Network Server would not show any errors when the Network Server was no longer available (i.e. when stopped).

 

8941

Screen Objects

In certain cased problems would occur while handling ListBox objects partly overlapping other ListBoxes. ListBox overlapping will now work correctly with the "Show Control Window" option disabled.

 

8943

Setup

The SetUp would install "WWB9@000.dll" file in error which would cause problems displaying dialog windows in Windows 7.

 

9021

Setup

The DEMO projects did not have their Networking Services enabled and therefore could not connect to Web Clients without modifying the projects beforehand.

 

8991

Setup

The SetUp discontinued installing "Movicon.ini" file.

 

9041

Setup

The WinWrap 9.3 version installing warning message did not make sense and therefore has been reworded.

 

9502

Setup

When installing Movicon BA, the "ELAP" driver would also get installed by mistake even though it could not be selected afterwards because not included in the "Drivers.xml" file.

 

9511

Setup

The Movicon BA installation procedures would not install the "GenericDriver.chm" in the Drivers Folder.

 

9007

Tools

The CSVTagIE.exe tool would take too long to import a ".csv" file containing a large number of variables. This procedure has now been speeded up.

 

9218

Tools

In certain particular cases the RestoreFlushedData.exe tool would raise an error when starting up a project.

 

7737

Tools

When using the CSVTagIE, StringImpExp and AlarmsImpExp tools, the import/export procedures would fail if certain characters were used in the texts such as those mapped outside the ASCII table.

 

8981

Tools

Selecting a language for groups and  users within the EditUsr.exe tool would also repeatedly show the "bak" language for the same number of languages shown. This was due to selecting the "bak" files of the project's languages in error.

 

9048

Users Management

If the "Run Command after Login" option had been enabled in the Users management, the command would be executed even when the "Access Level" of the  user who just logged on did not match the object's "Write Access Level".

 

8912

WebClient

The Java applet would raise an error with a 'NullPointerException' when changing pages too quickly or when resizing the Web client window.

 

9235

WebClient

When opening the same screen twice from WebClient, the screen page would not show in full.

 

9340

WebClient

Loading Grid data from Web Client was rather slow going. The new "WebServiceClientBlockUIOnLoading" registry key can now be set to speed up this procedure. However the user interface will result unusable until the data loading procedure has terminated.

 

9331

WebClient

User Autologoff could no longer be managed from WebClient.

 

5384

WebClient

Scroll bar management from Web Client has been improved in all those objects provided with one.

 

9297

WebClient

When a screen page was displayed from WebClient, it would not load only partly updated if the screen's "Max. Width in WebClient" and "Max. Height in WebClient" parameters had been set.

 

66

WebClient

Scroll bars in special objects such as the Grid and display windows (DataLogger window, Historical Log window etc.) would not show in WebClient. This would happen if the Windows XP theme has not been enabled. If the Windows theme is now disabled, or if the Movicon Server project is run as service (therefore not using the Windows theme), the scroll bars are drawn directly by Movicon (and those from the Windows theme will not be used).

 

NOTE: however, if a different theme is activated that is not that of "Windows XP", the scroll bars from WebClient may not be as good.

 

8983

WinCE OS

The "ActiveScreen" system variable would not update correctly in Windows CE if screen had been opened as a PopUp.

 

9023

WinCE OS

Movicon would not startup correctly in Windows CE 7 operating systems.
