Note: NetDDE is not supported on Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 and later operating systems.
Microsoft Windows XP SP2, and Windows Server 2003 SP1 introduce
several security technologies including disabled NetDDE, enhanced Windows
firewall, and a reduced RPC attack surface. These enhancements affect the use
of NetDDE, LogViewer, and SuiteLink protocols in InTouch.
If InTouch must be operated on Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1, the
patch installation will run the OS Configuration Utility. This utility opens
specific ports that enable NetDDE and adds Wonderware SuiteLink and Wonderware
LogViewer to the firewall exception list.
InTouch does not work properly on a Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1
computer if you do not run the OS Configuration Utility during installation.
During the InTouch patch installation, use the designated check box to
determine whether the installation runs the utility or not.

Detailed Descriptions
for Resolved Issues
L00015941 When using Update Use Counts, the WindowMaker
crashes and a Dr. Watson message appears.
Problem:
When using Update Use Counts, the WindowMaker crashes and a Dr. Watson message
appears. Creating a new application using the tag database from the original
application and importing these windows still results in the WindowMaker
crashing. The working application was upgraded from InTouch version 5.6b to
version 8.0.
L00015944 Polygon objects change when switching between
WindowMaker and WindowViewer.
Problem:
When switching between WindowMaker and WindowViewer, the polygon object
changes. The working application was upgraded from version 5.6 to version 8.0.
L00016326 Abnormality in interlocking the value entry
based on specified tag limits.
Problem:
On a button object with an analog touch link that allows the user to enter a
numerical value from 0 to 100 000 000 (min value = 0, max value = 1e+008)
InTouch accepts entries up to 100 000 004. Data Entry should be interlocked
based on limits entered for the tag.
L00016503 TRUNC function does not work correctly with
real numbers.
Problem:
When a real value (e.g. real1) is truncated with the TRUNC function and then
multiplied with a value (e.g. 100), the result is equals the real value
multiplied with the value (e.g. real1*100). The TRUNC function result is not used
in calculation. Example: TRUNC(2.01)*100 returns the result 201 instead of 200.
L00017625 Alarm Printer Utility not saving the
configuration file correctly - 'User2' checkbox setting is not saved.
Problem:
The Alarm Printer Utility does not save the configuration file correctly, even
if the user clears the check boxes for User1, User2, User3 (under Message Tab
of Configuration setting dialog) and saves the configuration file. The User2
check box is still selected when the configuration dialog is re-opened.
L00018222 Need the ability to enable/disable
functionality to resize numeric keypad.
Problem:
Need the ability to enable/disable functionality to resize the numeric keypad.
The text on numeric keypad is not clearly visible for higher screen resolutions
(viz. 1280* 1024).
Solution:
Use the InTouch.INI setting ‘NoKeyboardResize’. By default
this setting is not present in the InTouch.INI file and the numeric keypad
resizes according to the screen resolution. If you add the line
‘NoKeyboardResize=1’ to the InTouch.INI file the keypad does not resize based
on screen resolution and the numeric keypad size is fixed. If you add the line
‘NoKeyboardResize=0’ to the InTouch.INI file the numeric keypad resizes
according to the screen resolution.
L00020024 When Daylight Saving Time comes into effect
(Spring Ahead) historical logging files of that day are not generated.
Problem:
In Santiago time zone, on the day when DST comes into effect, new history files
are not created. In Santiago time zone (GMT +4), the DST transition happens at
12:00 AM and time jumps from 23:59:59 to 01:00:00 when DST comes into effect.
In the code, the logical GMT of the start of next day is calculated. To do
this, the local time is taken, its date is incremented by one, the time is set
to 0:00:00 and passed to the mktime() function for recalculation. For this
particular time zone, on this particular day, the time 0:00:00 is passed to the
function mktime() which returns 23:00:00 of previous day. In this case, new
files are not created.
L00026006 Loading a PDF document in the Adobe Acrobat
Reader ActiveX control causes a "memory can not be read" error and
InTouch to shuts down abnormally.
Problem:
This is caused by the Adobe ActiveX control using the property "src"
to change the PDF file. It also fails in Visual Basic.
Solution:
Use the "LoadFile" method instead of the "src" property to
load a PDF document. For example: #PdfCtrl1.LoadFile(DocFilePath); instead of
#PdfCtrl1.src =DocFilePath;.
L00029901 InTouch cannot get data from InSQL if InSQL is
installed on a localized OS.
Problem:
Historical Trend does not show any data from an InSQL Server running on a
localized OS.
L00033605 The new methods added in the InTrack 7.11
Patch 06 do not show up in the InTrack buttons.
Problem:
The objects Lot, Sublot, Material and Location are provided with the
RefreshCache method. This method is used to refresh the local cache. The
Location object is provided with SetUDACheckLock method which is used to check
the lockcount setting before SetUDA function is called. These methods were
previously not available under InTrack buttons.
L00033849 The setting "Measurements per
Sample" does not allow write access and this parameter should be tied to
the products settings.
Problem:
The setting "Measurements per Sample" does not allow write access.
Measurements per Sample is tied to the dataset, therefore all products
associated with this dataset have the same setting. The setting can be changed
during runtime. Each product has its own setting for "Measurements per
Sample".
Solution: The "Measurement per Sample" setting is now moved to
the product level. Now each product can have its own Measurement per Sample
value.
User Interface Changes:
- "MeasPerSample" edit field is taken
out from the "Datasets" dialog.
- The same field is added to the
"Products" dialog.
Database Changes:
- Removed the column 'MeasPerSample"
from the SPCDatasets table.
- Added this column to the SPCProducts
table.
- Upgraded the database version for the
new schema.
- A new function SPCCreateNewProduct() is
provided to create the new products. This function takes MeasPerSample as one
of the parameters where users can provide the measurement per sample value for
the new product being created. The "MeasurementsPerSample" DDE item
is not writable because writing to it will lead to incorrect calculations for
the already collected samples.
L00033851 SPCPro doesn't recalculate Cp and Cpk values
immediately but instead waits for the next sample before doing the calculation.
Problem:
A new DDE item "CalculateCpAndCpk" is provided. Setting this item
will calculate the Cp and Cpk values immediately for the current sample. After
the Cp and Cpk calculation, this item is reset.
L00033853 Need a way to delete a "Product"
during runtime
Problem:
There is no way to delete a "Product" including all related
information in the database during runtime (neither script function nor DDE
tag)
Solution: A new InTouch function
"SPCDeleteProduct()" is provided. The syntax for this function is
SPCDeleteProduct(Dataset, Product). Here "Dataset" is the name of the
dataset to which the product belongs and the "Product" is the name of
the product to be deleted. This function will delete all the product
information from the SPC database including the product's measurements and
samples during runtime. If the product is currently collected or displayed then
it cannot be deleted and a message is logged to the logger.
L00033855 Customer needs new functions similar to
SPCSetRangeLimits(), SPCSetSpecLimits(), SPCSetControlLimits() for the newly
created Products.
Solution:
Provided the new functions SPCSetProductControlLimits,
SPCSetProductRangeLimits, SPCSetProductSpecLimits. Following is the description
and syntax of these new functions.
SPCSetProductControlLimits:
This function sets the control limit values of a control chart for an empty
product.
Syntax: SPCSetProductControlLimits( Dataset,
Product, UCL, LCL );
"Dataset" Contains the actual Dataset name. It can be the actual string or Message tagname. "Product" Contains the name of the product whose control limits are to be set. "UCL" Represents the value to be set for the UCL of the product. It can be any number or real tagname. "LCL" Represents the value to be set for the LCL of the product. It can be any number or real tagname.
SPCSetProductRangeLimits:
This functions sets the control limit values of a range chart for an empty
product.
Syntax: SPCSetProductRangeLimits( Dataset,
Product, URL, LRL );
"Dataset" Contains the actual Dataset name. It can be the actual string or Message tagname. "Product" Contains the name of the product whose control limits are to be set. "URL" Represents the value to be set for the RUCL of the product. It can be any number or real tagname. "LRL" Represents the value to be set for the RLCL of the product. It can be any number or real tagname.
SPCSetProductSpecLimits:
This function sets the specification limit values of a control chart for an
empty product
Syntax:
SPCSetProductSpecLimits( Dataset, Product, USL, LSL );
"Dataset" Contains the actual Dataset name. It can be the actual string or Message tagname. "Product" Contains the name of the product whose control limits are to be set. "USL" Represents the value to be set for the USL of the product. It can be any number or real tagname. "LSL" Represents the value to be set for the LSL of the product. It can be any number or real tagname.
L00033856 "Product" names in SPC dataset
should not be limited to 32 characters.
Problem:
"Product" names in SPC dataset should not be limited to 32
characters. Product Name length is increased to 64 characters.
L00033859 Need a way to insert a sample note text via
DDE tag or script function.
Problem:
It is impossible to insert a sample note text besides using the menu entry you
get when right clicking on the sample in the control chart.
Solution:
A new DDE item "CurrentNote" similar to existing DDE tag
"CurrentComment" is provided. It is string type and has Read/Write
access. Setting this DDE item sets the note text for current sample on the
control chart.
L00034830 View leaks GDI memory when the cursor hovers
over an object and the halo is not in the viewing area.
Problem:
View leaks GDI memory when the cursor hovers over an object and the halo is not
in the viewing area. This is caused by a GDI Object Halo memory leak (memory
resources too low for bitmap display or not enough memory).
L00036127 AlarmDbView control's Query Filter or Filter
Favorites no longer work if any one of the query conditions (AlarmDbView
control properties) is manually updated.
Problem:
The Filter Favorites and Query Filter will no longer be working after any
manual change of the query properties, such as ToPriority, FromPriority,
Provider, and GroupName or the Refresh() action is executed.
L00037168 After stopping and starting InSQL, the tags do
not update. InSQL shows Null until the tag value changes. This is because
InTouch does not send the correct OPC quality (= 0).
Problem:
After the server is disconnected the OPC quality changes to bad because
WindowViewer was no longer connected. After connecting, it should show the same
OPC quality as before disconnecting. Thus the quality was not updated after
disconnection.
L00038846 Alarm Printer configuration (ALC) files
created by IT 8.0SP2 Patch 02 are not recognized by Patch 03.
Problem:
In Patch 03 two variables were added and the corresponding version number was
not updated. The version number is now updated and Alarm Printer configuration
files created by IT 8.0SP2 Patch 02 are now recognized by Patch 04.
However, ALC files created by IT 8.0SP2 Patch 03 are not recognized by Patch
04. To solve this problem, you need to update the ALC file generated by Patch
03 by opening it in the Settings page of Patch 04 AlarmPrinter.
L00044986 Shutting down View.exe nullifies Ctrl+Alt+Del
policy settings.
Problem:
Run the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) to set some of the Registry Keys
(Group Policy) like DisableTaskMgr, DisableLockWorkstation,
DisableChangePassword, NoClose, NoLogOff.
Go under the User Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/CTRL+Alt+Del.
You can pick the Task Manager for example and select the "Enable"
option. When you press CTRL + Alt + Del notice that the Task Manager option is
unavailable.
Start WindowViewer and stop it again. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del again and notice
that the Task Manager button is now enabled even if the EnableDisableKey()
function is not used in the InTouch application.
L00045824 Unable to connect to LogViewer by using the
'[computer name]' in SMC.
Problem:
For the Hardware-enforced DEP (Data Execution Prevention), SMC cannot connect
to LogViewer by using the '[computer name]'.
L00046015 New diagnostic feature added when AlarmDB
logger loses connection with the database if the alarm buffer gets too big.
This feature allows the operators to assess the utility's health.
Solution: Three functions GetAlarmLogCacheCount( ),
GetAlarmLogConnStatus( ) and GetAlarmLogMaxCacheCount( ) have been introduced
to see the status of AlarmDBLogger's status, connection and cache count. Note
that these functions work only after creating the following registry keys and
their values.
- Create a key with the name "AlarmDBLogStatus" in the registry folder "SOFTWARE\Wonderware". - Create two DWORD value with the following names: EnableAlarmDBLogStatus1 enable the Alarm DB Logger diagnostics
0 disable the Alarm DB Logger diagnostics SmartCacheStatusLoggingRate is the time interval (in minutes) in which Alarm DB Logger provides the diagnostics to view. The default is 1 minute. If this entry is blank, the default is used. Set this value to 1 minute or more. If you set it lower than 1 minute the performance of Alarm DB Logger may decrease.
GetAlarmLogConnStatus() Returns the database connection status. 0 Status not available1 Connection active2 Connection not available GetAlarmLogCacheCount( ) Returns the number of alarms in the Alarm DB Logger cache. GetAlarmLogMaxCacheCount( ) Returns the maximum number of alarms that can be cached into the Alarm DB Logger cache.
