Release Notes for system:inmation 1.64
1.64.1 - March 19, 2020
Improved in 1.64.1
- Handling of Active Components
-
Improvements have been made to how the Core handles active components. This improves security and avoids connection errors between the Core and other active components, such as the Server and active Connectors.
- OPC UA Client Subscriptions
-
The OPC UA client interface has been improved to ensure subscriptions are maintained after disconnection and restart of a OPC UA Server.
- DataStudio Script Libraries
-
Improvements made to DataStudio handling of Script Library updates. Users may have previously encountered Session Log errors when making frequent updates.
- Web API Authentication and Communication
-
The Web API server now includes fully integrated Windows authentication for the V2 endpoints. Also, the Web API server now treats the Functional Component "0" as the MasterCore. This fixes a problem where a communication error might be displayed immediately after upgrade.
- Web Chart Improvements
-
Fixes made to the Web Chart to prevent display errors when using the Candlestick and Value Band trend types. Also, issues have been fixed with history retrieval for Process Linked items of GenKPI and Analog Measurement objects.
1.64.0 - March 9, 2020
New in 1.64
- Local Cores & Autonomous Site Operation
-
The Local Core feature allows for the installation of Core services on remote sites that are connected to a centralized Master Core. Local Cores can operate autonomously in the event of a connection outage, maintaining ability of on-site archiving and history calls. After connection has resumed, the Master Core is updated along with the appropriate centralized System Data Stores.
- Script Manager - Find and Replace
-
Find-and-replace functionality has now been added to the Script Manager. Use the Ctrl+H shortcut to open the find-and-replace dialog when using the Script Manager.
- Custom Event (A&E) and Production Tracking Data Stores
-
Two new custom data stores are introduced in this release, the Custom Event Data Store and the Custom Production Tracking Data Store to stand alongside the already introduced Custom Time Series Data Store. All three can be used with the Local Core and Autonomous Site Operation functionality or within a single Core system.

Improved in 1.64
- History Transporter Progress Bar
-
The percentage progress of your History Transfer operations can now be followed to a one decimal place precision on the progress bar.
- Web Chart Improvements
-
The Web Chart has been updated to fix some minor issues and to improve the overall user experience.
- Object Path Specification
-
Clarification of path specification (pathspec) and object specification (objspec) as arguments for inmation Lua API functions. An objspec can only refer to an object whereas pathspec can refer to an object or a property.

Important information about changes to Lua API behavior
in this version, the behavior of certain Lua API functions has changed.
While it is not expected that correctly written user code would take advantage of the previously erroneous behavior, it is nevertheless possible that issues with backward compatibility may arise. If you suspect that you are affected by these changes in the behavior, please contact Support. |
| the Lua code that may be executed through the Web API "Execute Function" and "Advanced" endpoints is also affected by these changes. However, any Lua code that the other Web API endpoints execute internally runs in a compatibility mode with respect to the first group of changes, and are not affected by these changes. Therefore, these Web API endpoints will still accept property-containing paths. This will be deprecated in a future version. |

Compatibility of 1.64 with Visual KPI 5.71.2.417
For system:inmation v1.64, it is recommended to use version 5.71.2.417 of Visual KPI. system inmation v1.64 remains compatible with older versions of Visual KPI from 5.55.1.344 onwards. However, due to known issues, Visual KPI 5.57 should not be used. |
