TOP Server Release Notes (5.19.467.0) October 20, 2015
Server Install
The “Show Readme” checkbox on the final page of the installer is now unchecked by default.
Windows 10 is now supported (with the exception of hardware keys on 32-bit Windows 10 machines).
Server Runtime
Added the ability to adjust device Scan Mode and tag Scan Rate while clients are actively referencing tags on the device.
Added server support for "@ Array" dynamic addresses.
Server Configuration
Added a device-level “Provide initial updates from cache” option to the Scan Mode tab. When enabled, values are pulled from the server cache (if available) rather than requested from the device when a client initially connects.
Added “Respect tag specified scan rate” to device Scan Mode options. The new mode forces clients to use the scan rate defined in the static tag properties, which allows a user to set scan rate limits per tag. Dynamic tags are scanned at the client-specified scan rate.
License Utility
The License Utility now displays both valid and invalid software licenses, including status and the reason a “broken” license is untrusted or broken.
Added a Repair button to resolve broken licenses from the View Licenses screen.
Added confirmation page to Manage Software Licenses wizard to indicate a successful activation and a reminder to restart the Runtime to apply new licenses.
Client Interfaces
SuiteLink/FastDDE
Changed standard behavior to always send initial updates for tags when a Wonderware client is started to clear references to invalid tags.
iFix Native Interface (NIO)
Resolved an issue where the first write to a tag of “default” data type would fail if it had not been previously read. The interface now reads the tag to determine the data type before performing a write, as needed.
Plug-Ins
Advanced Tags
Resolved an issue where Advanced Tag mappings were not automatically generated in the Alias Map.
DataLogger Plug-In
Added an error string for “Too many tags to log in wide column format” to message log and documentation.
Corrected an issue where NULL quality could be written.
Resolved an issue where a trigger interval of greater than 24 days could cause the trigger to appear to be constantly on, causing excessive writes to the database.
Resolved an issue that could cause data corruption when writing large strings or arrays.
EFM Exporter
Added support for wildcards for channel, device, meter, and meter ID that can be used to define the file path and file name of EFM export data.
Created a new EFM Event attribute called "event_desc_with_values" to contain the string description as well as the “old_value” and “new_value” information.
Note: The previous "new_value" attribute is now mapped as "event_desc_with_values" attribute.
Drivers
All Drivers
In Ethernet Encapsulation mode of all drivers that support it, the device timing has been modified to separate the connect timeout from the request timeout. To improve clarity and troubleshooting, a request timeout now only occurs if the connection succeeds, but the request fails.
ABB Totalflow
Resolved an issue where missing records on the device could prevent the Trend File upload from completing.
Added an error for when the protocol version is not set correctly.
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet
Added support for V26 and V27 firmware.
Resolved an issue where a dynamic array tag could be orphaned due to an abrupt disconnection of the client. On reconnect, the array tag was unable to be re-added by the client.
Resolved issue that prevented reading arrays with more than 65535 elements when using the Logical Blocking protocol mode.
Allen-Bradley DF1
Added a section to the manual describing how to configure modules not present in the module list.
AutomationDirect Productivity Series Ethernet
Renamed "AutomationDirect Productivity 3000 Ethernet" driver to "AutomationDirect Productivity Series Ethernet" to better represent support for the entire Productivity Series of controllers.
Beckhoff TwinCAT Ethernet
Resolved an issue where memory could be corrupted in certain scenarios when filtering tags.
Fanuc Focus Ethernet / HSSB
Renamed the GE Focas Ethernet and GE Focas HSSB drivers to Fanuc Focas Ethernet and Fanuc Focas HSSB to reflect corporate changes by vendor.
Fisher ROC Ethernet
Added support for Advanced Statistics Tags, including _CommFailures, _ErrorResponses, and more.
The driver now includes the #n syntax when auto-generating tags for similarly named point types in point type tables to avoid duplicate tag names. This may change the default name for some auto-generated tags from previous versions.
Changed the alarm state from OFF to On for string events.
Resolved an issue where attempting to read a tag from a non-responsive device could falsely cause a timeout when reading the next tag on a different device.
Resolved an issue where reading multiple tags in the same point type logical could result in two separate read requests rather than one.
Fisher ROC Plus Ethernet
Added support for Advanced Statistics Tags, including _CommFailures, _ErrorResponses, and more.
The driver now includes the #n syntax when auto-generating tags for similarly named point types in point type tables to avoid duplicate tag names. This may change the default name for some auto-generated tags from previous versions.

Resolved an issue where attempting to read a tag from a non-responsive device could falsely cause a timeout when reading the next tag on a different device.
Resolved an issue where reading multiple tags in the same point type logical could result in two separate read requests rather than one.
Corrected mappings for liquid temperature high and low limits to EFM exports.
Fisher ROC Plus Serial

Lufkin Modbus
Resolved an issue where array indices of multi-dimensional arrays of card tags were transposed.
Modbus Serial
Added support for padding addresses for both 5 digit and 4 digit format. If 5 digits or more are used, the address entered is padded to 5 digits (400001). If 4 digits or fewer are used, the address entered is padded to 4 digits (40001). This applies to all model selections except Omni and Daniel S500.
Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet
Added support for Advanced Statistics Tags, including _CommFailures and _ErrorResponses.
Added support for padding addresses for both 5 digit and 4 digit format. If 5 digits or more are used, the address entered is padded to 5 digits (400001). If 4 digits or fewer are used, the address entered is padded to 4 digits (40001). This applies to all model selections except Applicom and Fluenta.
Improved message logging to include socket errors in the Event Log.
ODBC Client
Added support for "Execute" statements within the Query access method.
Added an Execute tag for executing queries (e.g. Channel.Device.Execute).
Added the ability to enable or disable the query time interval. This allows users to exclusively trigger queries on demand via the device’s Execute tag.
Resolved an issue where a change in the query interval setting did not persist through shutdown and restart.
Removed duplicate messages that occurred in the event log when automatically generating tags.
Resolved issue with handling “money” and “smallmoney” data types as parameters to stored procedures in the stored procedure access methods.
Resolved an issue with the Update Tags button on the query and stored procedure access methods.
Resolved a configuration issue where a device prevents editing and reports that it is processing tags when no client references to the device exist.
OPC DA Client
Enhanced Automatic Tag Generation for a device object while one or more clients are actively connected.
Resolved an issue that could cause tag reads using ReadMaxAge to always read from cache.
Resolved an issue that could cause the client to receive a newly written value, then a stale cached value, before receiving the new value again.
OPC UA Client
Enhanced Automatic Tag Generation for a device object while one or more clients are actively connected.
Resolved an issue that could cause the client to receive a newly written value, then a stale cached value, before receiving the new value again.
Resolved an issue where the posted error message was not representative of the actual cause of the error.
