If you have any hotfixes installed on your current version, please check if they are included in this service pack. If the hotfix is not included in the list below, or you have any concerns regarding the issues covered, please contact Support before installing this Service Pack. Issue Number Issue Title and Description 23933 The DumpKernel() CiCode function is missing some lines from the page general kernel window When the DumpKernel() CiCode function is invoked and general statistics is specified, the outputted general statistics have lines missing at the bottom when compared with the page general statistics in the kernel. This problem is now resolved. 34414 Large CiCode programs could compile without an error, but when the CiCode was executed, a crash would occur. This issue is resolved. When large CiCode fragments are detected, an error is reported by the compiler: “Compound statement too large; refactor code” The CiCode will need to be modified so that large fragments of CiCode are avoided. 34831 Trend server crash when servicing interpolated event trend sample requests from the Process Analyst When using the Process Analyst to display interpolated event trend samples, the trend server may crash. This problem has now been resolved. 35008 ActiveX objects in templates don't work when Fast Runtime Display is disabled. Disabling Fast Runtime Display using INI setting [ANIMATOR]FastDisplay=0 causes ActiveX objects (including Process Analyst and menubar) embedded in templates to stop working. This issue has been resolved. 35302 Disabled alarms do not persist after a restart. After restarting an alarm server, disabled alarms become re-enabled. This was because the alarm server was not retaining a list of disabled alarms, nor was it retrieving them from the redundant server. Citect has confirmed this to be a problem in CitectSCADA versions 5.41 to 6.10. A CiCode workaround was available for versions 5.42 and 5.42A (KB Q4041) but this did not work in subsequent versions. This problem has been fixed. 35744 Logging device delayed/buffered when writing to a DBF file. When logging using a DBF file, data is not flushed to the file correctly. This issue has been resolved. 36294 Also resolves 36580 Protocol specific licence fails under v7.0 Protocol specific licence check fails incorrectly, with a message "This licence will only support the 'x' protocol". This issue has been resolved. VijeoCitect version 7.0 Service Pack 1 11 Issue Number Issue Title and Description 36365 Also resolves 37553 Compile errors are produced with some Period field options in Project Editor forms For a French Citect installation, compile errors are produced when certain period field options are selected from the drop down list in Project Editor forms. Such forms include Trend Tags and Events. This problem has now been resolved. 36409 PageInfo() with a type of 14 shows incorrectly in a web client The CiCode function PageInfo(int) with argument 14 used in the web client can return incorrect values when either of the following two scenarios are satisfied: 1. When launching the web client window and not yet having manually resized it. 2. Manually resizing the base window so that scroll bars appear. This has been resolved. 36415 Alarms server hanging on start-up. During start-up of a project with a space in its name, the alarm server stops responding, with the Runtime manager displaying the message "Initializing Alarm System". This has now been fixed. 36446 AlarmComment() function does not work in v7. The AlarmComment CiCode function was broken in v7, resulting in comments not being saved. This has now been fixed. 36641 CitectSCADA Display Client will not run if the path specified in the [CtEdit]Copy parameter is unavailable. If the [CtEdit]Copy directory or any other needed Copy project directories are not available at startup CitectSCADA will halt. This problem is now resolved. 36645 Hotkeys such as "Ctrl + G" do not operate correctly for German installations Hotkeys such as "Ctrl + G" (Goto object in Graphics Builder) do not operate correctly for German installations. This problem has now been resolved. 36647 Heavy network traffic on display client IO devices being offline results in heavy network traffic between display client and IOServer. This issue has now been resolved. 36658 Tracelog.dat may grow as large as 8GB, eventually leading to a crash The default behaviour for logging in v7.0 allowed the tracelog.dat file to grow without bound, eventually leading to a crash. This was fixed by changing the default behaviour to cap file size at 2MB. This can be overridden using the citect32.exe config file. 36716 IDC downloads 2 copies of RDB files VijeoCitect version 7.0 Service Pack 1 12 Issue Number Issue Title and Description Version 7 of the Internet Display Client would download 2 copies of many of the RDB files at startup. This issue has now been resolved. 36725 Color picker missing from the "Edit Favorite Colors" window in Graphics Builder For a German Citect installation, when editing "Favorite Colors" in Graphics Builder, the color picker is missing. This problem has now been resolved. 36802 No protection for invalid arguments to SleepMS() and inaccurate sleep times CiCode function SleepMS() provided no protection for invalid, or negative, sleep periods. It was also possible, given precisely the right sleep time relative to the system clock, to cause a finite lock in the internal sleep mechanism. This could result in CiCode threads waking after their intended time. These problems have now been resolved. 36820 ctListRead not working for tag arrays The array support for ctListRead tags was accidentally removed in v7 when the interface was rewritten to fit the new IO model. This issue has now been resolved. 36822 Memory leak on #COM of an incorrect tag of a connected and correctly behaving PLC When attempting to communicate with a PLC using an incorrectly configured tag a memory leak could result. This issue has been resolved. 36846 SubscriptionGetAttribute always returns engineering values, regardless of ScaleMode set. The function SubscriptionGetAttribute with the sAttribute parameter set to "Value" always retrieves the engineering value, regardless of what was specified in the sScaleMode parameter passed to TagSubscribe. This issue has been resolved. 36857 Log message functionality doesn't work properly when used in v7 objects CitectSCADA was incorrectly truncating the log message for genies associated with an item in an array tag (e.g. tagA[2]) at the closing ']' character. This issue has been resolved. 36917 Alarm acknowledgements are lost on restart Restarting the alarm and IO servers results in analog and advanced alarms being retriggered. This issue has been resolved. 36958 Using the same tag with and without a cluster causes incorrect point count The same tag defined with and without a cluster name will be counted twice in the point count. Now, when running in a single-cluster system, CitectSCADA ignores the cluster name when resolving tags, so that tags that are resolved with and without the cluster prefix will not be treated as two different tags, and thus will not be point counted twice. 36987 CSV_AlarmSummary Page does not display the full History of Alarms processed. VijeoCitect version 7.0 Service Pack 1 13 Issue Number Issue Title and Description When a user views the CSV_AlarmSummary page only a maximum of 17 pages of alarm history is viewable when there should be more. This problem is now resolved. 37134 Hundreds of calls to DspFont() can result in a Citect crash A large number of calls to CiCode function DspFont(), typically in the hundreds, can result in a Citect crash. This problem has now been resolved. 37146 MailSend() with attachments failing Using MailSend() with attachments in v7 generates an MAPI error 12. This issue has been resolved. 37205 Alarm server does not detect duplicate ids or tags in ALMINDEXSAVE.DAT Alarm index file corruption was not detected at start-up, potentially leading to lost alarm save information. Now, CitectSCADA checks the index file at start-up, and will report the following error message if corruption is detected: "Failed to load the Alarm Save file. The file 'ALMINDEXSAVE.DAT' was corrupt or invalid. Citect could not be started." 37287 Using string tags on pages or in CiCode leads to a memory leak A change in the way string tags are handled in v7 caused a substantial memory leak when they are used in CiCode expressions (including page display). This issue has now been resolved. 37305 Using the AlarmSetInfo() CiCode function to sort two pages of alarms by state then by priority causes incorrect results When the user sorts a list of alarms that spans across two pages via the AlarmSetInfo CiCode function, using the sort keys state and priority the sorting of the alarms is incorrect. This problem is now resolved. 37314 The 'Unity Fastlinx User Documentation.pdf' file is not readable The 'Unity Fastlinx User Documentation.pdf' file supplied with the product is not readable. This file is located in the product BIN directory. The PDF file has been rebuilt and is now readable. 37391 Tag Subscription initially returns stale cache value with Quality set to Good On a Tag Subcribe a new subscription is created with a Tag Value Quality corresponding to the cached value from a previous subscription of the tag. Thus any client is initially given the stale cache value with Quality set to Good. This has now been fixed. 37484 "Cannot write to read only variable" compile error with Bailey driver on v7 Compiler support for the remapping functionality that the Bailey driver relies on was inadvertently removed from the CitectSCADA compiler. This functionality has now been restored. VijeoCitect version 7.0 Service Pack 1 14 Issue Number Issue Title and Description 37715 Forced type conversion for super genie parameters when the type is specified If a super genie parameter has specific type, a type conversion operation is added by the compiler to the code so that pre v7 projects that have string values associated would work without change. Also the default value would be an empty string, when there is no association. 37759 Unreliable or high-latency networks may result in high CPU for Tran.Task.Delay Networks where there is high packet-loss or high latency may experience an issue where server processes suffer unusually high CPU in the Tran.Task.Delay task. This is because connection attempts are timing out and not being correctly cleaned up. This issue has now been fixed. 37835 MsgBrdcst() CiCode function does not support clustering The MsgBrdcst function was not updated to support clustering in v7. This function has now been modified to accept an optional 4th parameter for cluster name. If no cluster is specified, MsgBrdcst will lookup the currently active cluster as per the logic for MsgOpen. 37915 Using the AlarmSetInfo() CiCode function alarms by state causes incorrect results When the user sorts a list of alarms using the AlarmSetInfo CiCode function, using the sort key state the sorting of the alarms are incorrect. This problem is now resolved. 37953 Using the AlarmSetInfo CiCode function to filter by Category does not filter correctly When the user configures the AlarmSetInfo CiCode function to filter by category the incorrect alarms are displayed. This problem is now resolved. 37968 Write to an array tag that is failed by a driver displays the wrong value on the page If you attempt to write a value to an array tag that is failed by a driver, the value you attempted to write is display as the tag value on the page until you navigate off and back to that page. The expected behaviour is that the value on the page should revert to the correct value after the I/O server is notified of that the write failed. This issue has been resolved. 37969 AlarmSumDelete CiCode does not delete an alarm from summary page as expected. When the user invokes the AlarmSumDelete CiCode function to delete an alarm from an alarm summary page it is not removed as expected. This problem is now resolved. 38041 TimeToStr(...,3) returns the date in English instead of German Using TimeToStr() to retrieve the date returned incorrect English values due to missing localisation elements for German locale. This issue has been resolved. 38060 Calling WinNewAt() with no cluster specified results in incorrect behaviour with mode 128 VijeoCitect version 7.0 Service Pack 1 15 Issue Number Issue Title and Description Also resolves 37875 Calling CiCode function WinNewAt() with no cluster specified and mode 128 "Open a unique window. This mode prevents this window from being opened more then once”, incorrectly allows further windows of that type to be opened. This problem has now been resolved. 38169 Local variable Tag Quality is never set to Good Local variable Tag Quality is never set to Good. This affects the display of all tag on a page with a local variable Tag. This has now been fixed. 38255 Security vulnerability when on port 20222 (ODBC) An intentionally malformed packet can cause a buffer overrun when directed at Citect’s port 20222 (used by ODBC). This vulnerability has been secured. Users are reminded to run Citect as intended on a secure isolated network. 38274 Start-up errors running the Alarm Server on a remote machine using [CtEdit]Copy/Run The Alarm Server in the past required access to master.dbf, a file residing only on the compile-time machine and not copied with [CtEdit]Copy/Run. This dependency has now been removed and the problem resolved. 38314 Pop-up page not being recognized as a Child of the Parent Window When a pop-up page is opened for the first time, it fails to set whether it should be a Child of the Parent Window or not. For example using either the WinNewAt() or AssWin() CiCode functions with their Mode Parameters set to 1 (Page Child Window), a second call was not closing the first Window. This has now been corrected. 38358 CiCode AssChainWin function operates incorrectly after maximum number of windows first reached A number of CiCode functions, including AssChainWin(), create and use a pending Genie association with the next Window opened. If the window limit is reached this association is never completed and is erroneously used with the next successful window open. This issue has been resolved. 38361 The Quality of tags on IODevices which are running in Memory mode are never set to Good. The Quality of tags on IODevices which are running in Memory mode are never set to Good. This affects the display of all tags on any page with a tag from a memory IODevice. This has now been fixed. 38430 INT variable is evaluated in a CiCode expression as having a value of 0 when device is offline Variables read by CiCode functions start as zero. Once read they retain the last value. If the IO device goes off line, they see the last value. A change of behaviour introduced in v7 meant that when Tag quality changed from Good to Bad it's value was cleared. This has been corrected to behave as earlier versions do. 38510 IOServer reclaims DCB's that may still be held by drivers, resulting in crash Under certain circumstances, usually involving a unit or units being offline, the IOServer reclaims a DCB that is being held by a driver. At some later point in time, the driver goes to process this DCB, which is no longer valid, and results in a crash. This has been fixed. VijeoCitect version 7.0 Service Pack 1 16 Issue Number Issue Title and Description 38559 Start-up error "Cannot locate include project" Correctly configured projects, typically employing the Add Project Link feature or [CtEdit]Copy/Run, could receive this error at start-up due to a fault in path reconstruction logic. This problem has now been resolved. 38970 Alarm server memory leak on primary alarm server when standby alarm server is restarted When the alarm sever defined as standby is shutdown and restarted the alarm process on the primary increases its memory usage considerably. This has now been resolved. 39315 Memory leak when executing certain CiCode in a pop-up window Certain (mostly arithmetic) operations will leak memory when called with incompatible types - this will trigger a corresponding type mismatch error. This has now been resolved. 39643 TagInfo does not support online changes A new CiCode function has been added, TagRDBReload, which reloads the information presented by TagInfo. Also the compiler message indicating that TagInfo is deprecated has been removed. 39647 Reading a tag which is of bad quality may halt CiCode With the following conditions satisfied reading a tag which is of bad quality may halt the CiCode. The tag is not read via TagRead. Error checking is enabled with ErrSet(0). [Code]HaltOnError is set. The CiCode is not foreground. This issue has been resolved. 39648 Some kernel windows and DumpKernel() generate repeated rows when verbose mode is in use Rows may be repeated in kernel windows or DumpKernel() output when verbose mode is in use. Verbose mode support has been removed from DumpKernel() and 'page queue' to avoid this issue. 39649 Fixed incorrect labels in kernal tasks and DCB for IODrivers Some names generated for IODrivers do not have the expected portname part because the lack of explicit data type conversion. They are fixed now. 39650 Alarms that have long tag name may not show up as expected in the alarm list An alarm with a long tag name can be truncated and does not show up in the alarm list as expected. This issue has been resolved. 40338 Some displayed values do not go to #COM when an IO device goes offline VijeoCitect version 7.0 Service Pack 1 17 Issue Number Issue Title and Description When an IO Device becomes offline due to a communication failure between the IOServer and the device, only some of the tags on the display clients graphics page are going to #COM. This issue has been resolved 40339 Displayed values fail to go to #COM when an IO device with background polling enabled is disabled Tags on IO devices with background polling enabled are not going to #COM on the display clients graphics page when the device is disabled using the IODeviceControl CiCode function. This issue has been resolved 40413 Citect FTP Server is protected against malicious input and does not show IDC credentials. The socket data read from the Citect FTP server is better validated to protect against intentional misuse, such as sending malformed data in format string or buffer overflow attacks. In addition, the credentials used by the IDC are no longer stored in the module or loaded image. The credentials have not changed but are constructed and freed as needed to decrease their visibility. 41154 Default [kernel]ErrorBuffers value increased from 200 to 1000 The default value of the [Kernel]ErrorBuffers parameter has been increased from 200 to 1000. Traces are sent to the syslog.dat file by a background task and when the pending messages to print exceed the buffer count, the messages are lost. 41195 ctTagWrite() always returns immediately with a result of TRUE. ctTagWrite() does not wait for the write to complete but always returns immediately with TRUE. This has now been fixed. Large numbers of consecutive writes will incur a performance degradation. To work-around this, users may use the asynchronous version of this function (ctTagWriteEx with a valid CTOVERLAPPED structure). 41654 Using standby devices results in slow I/O updates An error in the initialisation of standby devices at IOServer start-up results in slow page updates when retrieving data from standby devices. This issue has now been fixed. 42098 [Code]WriteLocal=0 does not work for page or user subscriptions Subscriptions automatically created for pages, as well as manually created by calling the TagSubscribe cicode function, were not honouring the [Code]WriteLocal parameter. Instead they were being forced to update the local cache on any write.
