What's new in octoplant 101.0.5 (November 2022)

The following table shows the optimizations made in the current octoplant version.

Setup, migration and update

Please note:

This octoplant version contains updates to the standard component types. If you have made changes to the component types, these will be overwritten by the installation of octoplant 101.0.5. The latest changes increase the stability and efficiency of the update / migration of your server system.

  • Extension of the setup to output further information if the corresponding access rights to the (remote) server archive are not assigned.

Device integration and versioning

We are continuously improving the functionality and range of supported devices / editors and have now integrated the following editors:

  • RSLogix 5000: optimization of the upload to ensure that an upload of the controllers is carried out more reliably with different access paths.
  • Siemens TIA Portal: optimization of the comparison so that redundant systems are compared more reliably after an upload.

User management

It is important for administrators to be able to manage their users efficiently and intuitively. This service has now been improved.

  • Image Service: adjustment to the upload class so that the rollover in the target directory is always carried out correctly after a backup has been performed.
  • OAuth2-RefreshTokens: To enable a reconnect after a longer connection loss, the lifetime of the tokens has been increased.

Usability/Interface

We have adapted the interface for easier and more secure handling and access to information.

  • Optimization of email options so that warnings and error messages from the server system can also be sent to stored groups and their members.
  • Fixed an error in the web server when sorting (by "Job name" and "Upload type") in the job list.

System performance/stability

A stable and efficient software is the be-all and end-all for us and is improved by the following adjustments:

  • FTP Upload: Bug fix so that data is backed up correctly and no "empty" files are created in the backup directory (has occurred in exceptional cases).
  • Optimization of the signing process of our setup so that false positives from the virus scanner are avoided. File affected so far: "7za.exe"
  • Database server load reduced to improve the performance of the Factory Floor Status.
  • Parallel server behavior adjusted so that the timeouts of the background processes are better coordinated during the Check-Out of components.
  • Optimization of process handling to avoid high memory usage on the server system. This has occurred in exceptional cases in the past.

Other

To improve your user experience, we have also made changes in other areas.

  • We are updating used libraries with each release as soon as the current versions are stable.
  • "This project contains software developed by the OpenSSL project for use in the OpenSSL toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/)."
