Bug correction 3 Bug correction 3.1 Corrections in MP3.20 ID Description Notes 7295 7867 Download failure in case of corrupted bitmap during the activation phase. Also repaired in MM8000 MP3.15 Hotfix #14 7086 7116 Occasional disconnections of WinCC OPC Also repaired in MM8000 Server. Errors in managing the link supervision. MP3.12 Hotfix #02 7253 History database restore troubles (HS.exe module). Also repaired in MM8000 MP 3.12.
Bug correction ID 6598 Description An occasional (and erroneous) “Server not available” message used could appear on the MM8000 client screen. 6836 In the Scheduler configuration tool, selection field associated to "Every week on" was not correctly managed. 7390 In the CC11 EP7 import procedure, Sinteso detector texts were not properly set (missing sequential number). 7294 The "Points not inserted in maps" export does not work correctly with special characters.
Bug correction 3.2 Corrections in MP3.20-01 ID Description Notes 6929 Installation Procedure MM8000 did not provide any exception message in case the SQL database instance for history service cannot be created. The consequence was that MM8000 server could not start (red status of the History Server). This case is now clearly reported to the user.
Bug correction ID Description Notes 8003 Project update errors with direct CK11 link Configurations including a direct CK11 connection via NS8010 driver might fail to be properly updated to MP3.20. This has been resolved. 8045 SIGMASYS import procedure The ‘Output’ type of objects did not get properly imported. The defect has been corrected. 7893 Download reliability In MP3.20, download may fail after a few attempts (‘empty_db’ was necessary to download again). This defect has been removed.
Bug correction ID Description 7877 7878 IP camera configuration Problem used to occur when downloading IPCamera over FTP. This has been corrected. 7932 Problem in getting CS1115 communicating The MM8000 MP3.20 configuration tool was improved (Node Tab and COM0 port) to prevent communication difficulties with CS1115 from occurring. 8054 Page Manager Server This server task used to have problems related to very specific cases.
Bug correction 3.3 Corrections in MP3.20-02 Notes ID Description 7375 The creation of Manual pages did not work correctly. When a manual page was saved in mapmaker, it slightly moved up implying that some points included in the manual page extended outside the page area and were not shown runtime. 7804 The duration of the link procedure of points under NK822x interactions was long (40 seconds nearly). This problem was also present in MM8000 MP3.20. This is now fixed. 7940 In 3.
Bug correction Notes ID Description 8151 Problems with MM8000 supervision. In some cases, MM8000 erroneously reported internal problems: the System Status lights at the top right on the screen show in yellow and the PC buzzer seems to indicate a processor’s overloaded. A switchover / restart seemed to solve the problem, but it may then occur again. 8153 Missing license check of the configured graphical Maps.
Bug correction ID 8169 8170 8171 Description NK8210 3.15 – Memory corruption error generated by CEI Protocol. This error was detected when the protocol determined to dispatch again the message addressed to a branch because the “acknowledge” was not received in the expected time. In particular, during the transmission of a CEI identification message which is only 9 bytes, date/time update caused a memory corruption of 4 bytes. Notes NK8210 3.15 crash.
Installation and configuration procedures 4 Installation and configuration procedures 4.1 Software installation Unlike previous MP3.20-01 (that was distributed with a complete setup procedure), MP3.20-02 is an add-on package to be installed after the base installation of MP3.20-01. For detailed information about the basic MM8000 setup refer to the MM8000 ICC manual (006799_i_en), section 3.
