New FIT4TC-Release 2010.2 available – please call for CD or download
01.04.2010
The following issues are fixed:
FIT4TC
======
Enhancements:
--------------
- It is now possible to hide datasets that have no named references in FIT4TC-HI with the parameter "ShowDatasetsWithoutNamedReference"
- You have the opportunity to also display workplaces in FIT4TC-HI without allocated FIT4TC-MI. Until now these workplaces are not displayed.
- Further configurations are available for the file workplace_allocation.properties.
It may now be configured that a specific client may chose between all workplaces or that a specific workplace is assigned to all clients that are not listed respectively access is not possible.
- It is now possible to create a separate Fit4TC_Configuration.properties for each workplace.
Therefore, a subdirectory „workplaces“ in „conf“ – directory and a file with the name „id[add-on].properties“ for the relevant workplace must be created.
- An automatic logout of HI via the parameter "LogoutAfter" is now possible, if it remains more time than the indicated time in minutes in the main menu.
- The configuration file "Fit4TC_Configuration.properties" is now in conf-directory (until now it was in classes-directory)
- Via the parameter "ShowCreateNewShopProgButton" you may create a new button "Create new shop program" in the main menu. Here a new shop program (Item) in Teamcenter may be created without having to report a new NC-program. This functionality is for example useful when the new Item-ID shall be part of the newly create shop program.
- Via the URL http://server:8888/tcdnc/license.jsp information about the license utilisation may be displayed. The license may only be updated via this page. Therefore, the current license key must be entered into the relevant field. After a successful verification the new license immediately becomes active.
Now, the system no longer sends the file but the license key. Thus, the format of the license file changes. At first start the file with the old format is converted into the new one. By changing the format of the license file a new licence may no longer be inputted by exchanging the file.
Bugfixes/Optimizations:
---------------------
- It is now possible to configure a download rule for precise and imprecise parts lists.
- The data types for each workplace are now written into the file tcs.ser when closing TCFIT Apache Tomcat so that these data are immediately available at restart.
If data types are updated or changed, the file must either be deleted before starting TCFIT Apache Tomcat or the button „Reload data type” must be pressed in FIT4TC-Admin-HI.
- Until now the file start_corba.bat was overwritten during updates. Now, the setup only creates the file start_corba.bat.default and therefore the adapted script is no longer overwritten.
- Before version 2010.1 no Occurencetype had to be indicated in the part data interface for the command “ReferenceItem”. In Version 2010.1 this entry was necessary. Now, the entry is optional again.
- The Connection-Pool had a problem at Teamcenter-Unified, if more than one connection was used at once. Now, several Teamcenter- sessions may be used at the same time.
- The TcServer.exe of Teamcenter Unified 2007.1 has the problem that the memory consumption crows up steadily (please see GTAC PR-06250687).Siemens PLM debugged this problem as of version8. Therefore, the Teamcenter session of FIT4 Teamcenter is closed automatically after 1000 operations so that TcServer.exe may de-allocate the memory again. (If the TcServer.exe runs into the “Out of memory” error, the process must be closed via the task manager. A logout is no longer possible).
- If the error message"POM INTERNAL ERROR" occurs the active session will be closed.
- So far, the number generator that was allocated to the Item-type „Item“ was used when a new Item-ID was requested by Teamcenter via „Request new number”. Now, the system uses the number generator that is allocated to the Item-type configured by the parameter “ShopProg_ItemType” (Standard: MENCMachining).
MI-Server
=========
Enhancements:
--------------
- Now, the different search criteria in AutoDNC mode may be filtered or modified again in FIT4Teamcenter. This means that characters may be deleted, exchanged or entered. If for example the machine has no “P” on the keyboard, it may be substituted by an “x”: x0815 becomes P0815
- It is now possible to configure AutoDNC mode for direct connections. In that case, the order file is searched periodically in the configured exchange directory. This applies only for FIT4Teamcenter in this version. FIT will be supported as of the next version. The FIT4Teamcenter version 2010.2 is needed.
Bugfixes/Optimizations:
---------------------
-When sending binary files via the WuT COM-Server, characters not belonging to the regular ASCII symbol set were not transferred correctly. This error is now eliminated. In addition, the symbol set may be changed through the parameter SerialChartset if the characters are not transferred correctly. The default value is 8859_1.
