Weekly Changelog: 8.1.17-b20220421 ## Platform **4876: Improve performance of system.util.translate and translate expression function** Significantly improved the performance of the system.util.translate function in gateway scope by caching the translation package between calls. ## Enterprise **3978: Alphabetized EAM config menu ordering (controller) is counterintuitive to usual workflow** EAM Gateway Config section items are now sorted in alphabetical order. ## Connectivity **5247: The data/opcua directory's contents is not included in a Gateway Backup** The $GATEWAY\_HOME/data/opcua directory is now included in gateway backup files. ## Visualization **2662: Power Chart: The breakLine property for each pen needs to respond to the quality code received in the payload** The display.breakLine property for each pen displaying as a "line" chart now works as intended. If set to true, a visual break is shown when there is bad/missing data. If set to false a line will be drawn between the last and next available good data points in the data this is being shown. If there is not a next/previous good data point available, the line will not be drawn regardless of the setting. Additionally, if there is no good data available per pen in the displaying time range, an overlay will be shown on the tabular pen data below the chart. If available, the quality code will be presented as well. ---

Weekly Changelog: 8.1.18-b20220506 ## Data Model **2400: Transaction group Item Name is not displaying the full tag path** Drag-and-Drop of Tags into Transaction Groups now default their item name to the tag path (without provider) instead of the last component of the tag path. This re-aligns with the previous behavior from 7.9 and 8.0 releases. This change does not impact existing transaction group configurations. ## Visualization **4019: Contextual Find/replace on selected project tree nodes and tags** Added a "contextual" find and replace option to views, transaction groups, windows, templates, and named queries. Just right click on a resource (or folder) to automatically open the find/replace tool in the specified context. ## Enterprise **4092: EAM auto assign licenses should give some hint/error if all the licenses are taken** EAM Activate License Task will now display a message when there are no more auto-assignable licenses. **5826: Hardcoded timeout in Archiver.testFreeSpace throws unhandled TimeoutException, prevents resource collection** Added an adjustable timeout setting to the EAM controller archiver. Adjusting the timeout to a higher value can prevent backup task collection errors when using a slow mapped network drive as the archive destination. ---

Weekly Changelog: 8.1.18-b20220510 ## Visualization **5841: Perspective Vessel: Liquid fill level not reaching actual fill line** On upgrade and startup Ignition would sometimes fail to update Perspective's SVG libraries over previous versions; this has been fixed. This bug caused the Vessel Symbol Component's water level to appear incorrect as an older version of the symbol SVG libraries were retained. **1737: Alarm Tables: better strategy to reduce network payload, move more filtering to Gateway** For the Alarm Journal Table and Alarm Status Table, move all filtering (i.e. state, priority, etc.), with the exception of text filtering which must currently be done on the front-end to support paging and sorting, to the Gateway. A strategy employed to reduce the size of alarm event payloads being received and handled by the client, in order to improve performance and browser memory usage. **5721: Alarm Tables: filtered data objects contain an empty-string key** Prevent empty associated data keys from breaking the Alarm Journal Table and Alarm Status Table's selection feature due to the fact that they are invalid keys (""). **5778: Responsive Alarm Status Table displays "Select" column in card** Remove the "select" label being displayed when the rows of the Alarm Status Table are in responsive layout. **5164: Alarm Status Table & Alarm Journal Table: Add option to display filter text field without interacting with icon** Add toggleableFilter prop to the toolbar configuration of the Alarm Status Table and Alarm Journal Table. When false, the text filter is always open. **3037: Alarm Journal and Status Table: Add manual refresh capability to component** Adds a `refreshData` script callable method to the Alarm Journal Table and Alarm Status Table, that requests that the data of the tables be refreshed. Useful when the value of `refreshRate` is large enough that the data does not update within a reasonable time frame. ## Data Model **5968: Tag Editor does not render UDT Instance properties correctly when parent overrides parameter binding with a string** UDT properties that override bound values with static values are not displayed correctly in the tag editor. ## Connectivity **2842: LogixDriver device's tags update when Trial is expired** Prevent read and writes on Logix driver tags after trial has expired. ---

Weekly Changelog: 8.1.18-b20220511 ## Platform **5616: Gateway Shutdown Script not running on a project disable** Fixed an issue where a project's Gateway Shutdown Script would not be invoked when disabling a project. Gateway Startup Script for a given project will also execute when transitioning to enabled. Additionally, importing a project or creating an inherited project will now invoke the Gateway Startup Script (if the project itself is "runnable"). **5938: During gateway shutdown, log output is not always fully synced to system\_logs.idb** Logs accumulated during a gateway shutdown are now properly flushed to the system\_logs.idb for visibility within the gateway web UI. Previous behavior could result in some logs being truncated during shutdown (and only visible in the wrapper log text output). ## Enterprise **5960: When Redundant Gateway's setup, backup gateway is running project startup scripts unexpectedly** Fixed an issue where Gateway Startup scripts for a given project might execute on a non-Active node of a redundant pair. Gateway startup and shutdown scripts execute on Active nodes of a redundant pair. During failover, ordering is not guaranteed (startup on the newly-active node may occur before shutdown script is executed on the previously-Active node). ---

Weekly Changelog: 8.1.18-b20220512 ## Infrastructure **5978: Edge zip installer does not create jre-tmp directory** Fixed an issue that would cause the jre-tmp folder to not be created on new Linux armhf/aarch64 Edge installations. Also corrected a typo in the name of the applied wrapper property for new Edge installations (8.1.15-8.1.17) from java.io.tempdir to java.io.tmpdir that would cause the desired non-default temp folder of jre-tmp to not be utilized. ## Data Model **4079: Tag history queries against internal historian don't use tag's deadband mode** Querying against the internal historian will now use the tag’s historical deadband mode when interpolating. **5965: Direct Tag Imports are no longer contextual** Direct Tag Import now correctly imports relative to selected folders. ## Connectivity **6002: Discovery Wizard "Internal error" page against servers with unrecognized SecurityPolicy URIs** Fixed an issue in the discovery wizard when connecting to servers with endpoints using an unrecognized/invalid SecurityPolicy. ## Visualization **5142: Power Chart - Add ability to pan chart when completely zoomed out** This introduces a "freeRange" modifier (interaction.panAndZoom.freeRange) to the "Pan and Zoom" mode for the chart. With this modifier active the pan/zoom actions of a user will directly modify the overall time range of the chart. This modifier will force the chart to display historical data as the pan/zoom actions of a user will set the config.startDate and config.endDate values for the overall time range (which makes a real-time data display nonsensical for this functionality). ---

## Visualization **6012: Exiting out of the confirmation prompt of a UDT member’s deletion will delete the entire UDT Instance** Fixed an issue where canceling out of a confirmation dialog during a particular deletion operation on a UDT would actually delete the entire UDT instance. **5498: Power Chart, Time Series Chart: Infobox with large width value can display off of the chart** This keeps the x-trace and annotation values displaying in the center area of the chart. They will: - Display freely in the center if there is plenty of room - Orient to the left or right if there is not enough available room in a given direction - Attach to an inside edge of the chart if there is not enough available room in either direction In the case of the x-trace that follows the cursor, it will attach to the inside edge of the chart to the direction of travel of the cursor when there is not enough available room in either direction. Annotations and x-trace values that do not follow the cursor will anchor to the inside edge of the left side of the chart if there is not enough available room in either direction. Note: It's still possible to have an x-trace/annotation display off of the chart if the infobox is larger than the width of the chart. We can't protect from that at the moment. **1428: Enhancement: Report module image caching** Added the ability to bypass image caching when generating reports. **5152: Gateway Scheduled Event: Settings/Preview don't error out with invalid expressions** Fixed Gateway scheduled scripts improperly validating cron fields. ---

**Weekly Changelog: 8.1.18-b20220519** ## Visualization **5292: Perspective Piping - Add prop for P&ID Pipes to control gaps of overlapping pipes** Perspective Piping - Added a session prop, `session.props.pipes.overlapGap`. This controls the gap that is rendered when P&ID pipes overlap. Default 4. When this prop is set to 0 or a negative number no overlap is rendered and it may result in a rendering performance boost when using complex P&ID pipes. ---
