MES 4.0 Current Service Pack (SP) Release Notes

Fixed - Rapidly writing to Batch tags no longer triggers a race condition where stale writes overwrite fresh writes.

Fixed - De-syncs between State, State_Number, State_Number_Ack, and the Batch Recipe Monitor have been prevented.

Fixed:

• Fixed parameter path handling in Batch Recipe Editor component so valid parameter paths are handled correctly
  
  
• Fixed parameter path handling when the placeholder {} segment is used for referencing a parameter on a Unit Procedure or Operation step in the calculation expression of a parameter on that Unit Procedure or Operation logic. e.g., param("{}.SomeParam")
  
  
• Changed parameter path handling for Transition_Expression and Parameter_Path (for SetParameter and ValuePrompt phases) back to previous behavior that allows Parameters to be referenced without specifying a step or logic identifier (e.g., "MyParam")
  
  
• Fixed issue causing inline calculation expression error to not have a clickable link to the error position when only a single error is returned
  
  
• Fixed issue causing validation for SetParameter and ValuePrompt phases to fail when used in a template and the Parameter_Path is for a parameter "outside" of the template logic (e.g., path to a procedure param)
  
  
• Fixed issue causing validation for Transitions to fail in templates when the Transition_Expression contains a path to a parameter "outside" of the template logic (e.g., path to a procedure param)

Improved:

• Updated calculation expression error messages to use "friendly paths" instead of UUID paths so it's easier for users to diagnose issues with calculation expressions during recipe execution
  
  
• Changed default stepName generation when a stepName is not provided when adding steps to a logic object in scripting to use the same generation as the Recipe Editor component (first char of logicType + stepOrder)

Added:

• Added more function overloads for addStep method on batchMasterLogic objects to give scripting users more ways to easily add a step to a masterLogic object.  At minimal, the phaseName or a phaseLink must be provided.  The rest of the arguments can be omitted and will be generated/use the next available stepOrder or name. If the phase type is Unit Procedure or Operation, the logic link or logic object reference must also be provided.
  
  
• Added convenience synonym methods to BatchQueueEntry and BatchRecipe objects for scripting

Fixed - The MES Analysis Selector's sub-setting deletion buttons will now delete the row they are assigned to, instead of the last row in the table (this bug would occur in both the Designer and Web Client views).

Fixed - In the Designer (Web Client unaffected), the MES Analysis Selector's editing window will no longer cancel the user's editing actions when a scroll bar moves.

Fixed - In the Designer (Web Client unaffected), deleting or editing a sub-setting that is multi-line, will no longer be prevented if the scroll bar moves.

Fixed - The Perspective SPC attributes will no longer cache incorrect calculations in Analysis, when they should have been invalidated.

Fixed - The Vision SPC attribute value charts will no longer assign measurements to the wrong attributes.

Fixed - The Vision SPC charts will no longer allow the same attribute filter to be used multiple times.

Fixed - The Perspective P, NP, C, and U charts will no longer show attributes in the table that were explicitly filtered out.

Fixed - Flush any pending parameters to the database when an EBR is requested

Fixed - Include procedure-level parameters when getting idle step properties.

Fixed - Adding new Materials, Personnel, or Supplemental Equipment values to optional Trace operations using modifyOperation, now defaults to using Operation Begin/End date times instead of null.

Fixed - The Perspective Analysis Selector will no longer require a date range for filter options that do not rely on dates.

Improvement - The Perspective Analysis Selector will now display an error message in the UI when a failure occurs when the user attempts to load filter options.

Fixed - Task routing issue when creating Batches via the Batch List component.

Improvement - Added Task Routing support to the Perspective SPC Analysis Selector

Fixed - Made change to explicitly set encoding as UTF-8 when exporting/importing XML data

Improved - Implemented an import progress bar that will show when importing Batch Recipes and Batch Templates in the Batch Recipe Editor component

Improved - Increased performance of Batch Recipe/Template import for very large recipe/template XML files

Fixed - Corrected an issue where the SPC Pareto Chart wouldn't display a chart on an initial load.

Fixed - Corrected an issue on all SPC charts where the chart wouldn't reload on a page refresh.
