| Fixed | Improved behavior when pushing out modules from EAM. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Export and apply current property values for complex properties. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Cache MES Object Event Scripts to avoid unnecessary DB calls. | RC2 |

| Fixed | Change locking order when updating equipment in the Analysis Engine, to prevent conflicting with the Object Manager. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Scheduled Operations crossing midnight twice causing issues in scheduling. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Use parent object to determine sync servers in addition to child servers. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Copy and paste on licensed equipment no longer throws an exception. Equipment must be licensed after pasting. | RC2 |

| Improved | The Equipment Manager’s Equipment is now translated. If an item is about to be modified, it will revert back to its original text for ease of editing. When it is done being modified, it will perform a translation that only affects the GUI. | RC2 |
| Improved | The various tables found in the Equipment Manager’s editors will now translate their cell contents and column names. The effect is cosmetic only, and does not affect the underlying data. | RC2 |
| Improved | Minimum time between two sequential schedule items is one second instead of one minute. | RC2 |
| Improved | Default Store Rate on new MES Counters is now 60 instead of 0. | RC2 |
| Added | Logs have been improved for failed MES Object loading attempts that should help Support better identify them in the database. | RC2 |
| Added | system.mes.invalidateTranslationCache() can now be called via Client Script to clear cached translations. | RC2 |

| Fixed | Any attempts to change licensing in scripting will result in an exception. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Attempting to remove a license from a site that has ongoing operations will result in an exception. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Call the ‘New’ script when creating a new Supplemental Equipment, Operation Schedule, Manifest, and Manifest Class. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Change Log Viewer does not use Designer-only classes. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Changeover and Production segments will merge together when joining an Enterprise. Complex and custom properties with the same name will take on the core properties from the parent server. Complex and custom properties with different names will be added so they are on both servers. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Changing name of a MES Counter/Additional Factor then viewing it in Value Editor will have the updated MES Counter/Additional Factor name. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Check changes are not stale before applying, in the event that an object is initialized on multiple gateways. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Consolidated code that updates Equipment Manager main view after a subview is saved, to ensure the right panel updates for all subviews. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Corrected an error where getting equipment license state while verifying tag collectors would use an equipment path that was changed but not persisted to the database yet. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Correctly escape the underscore character when searching the Change Log. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Creating equipment in the Equipment Manager will now correctly use the extended naming pattern, to prevent duplicates. | RC1 |

| Fixed | Fixed an exception that would happen if trying to create a new, disabled Equipment Item that has children. Attempting to create a production equipment item in scripting that is disabled, and has children, will cause the item and its children to not be saved to the database. If the item has children that already exist in the database and have been moved from another item, an exception will occur. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Fixed cached objects from having invalid pending changes that caused subsequent syncs to fail. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Illegal or blank names detected during Enterprise upgrade will have a new name assigned. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Improved the enabling/disabling of MESPersons when the datasource changes. | RC1 |

| Fixed | Prevent a deadlock between the MESObjectManager and the MESTagManager when editing equipment. Prevent RPC calls or gateway scripts while the module is starting up by returning errors. Use system.mes.isProductionStarted() to check for started state. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Properly disable existing Enterprise when a new Enterprise is pushed from another server. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Reload Enterprise settings and copy over changed fields, to prevent breaking the optimistic lock. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Remove equipment from analysis by UUID instead of path, to account for changing path. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Removed attempts to accessing the Enterprise Server Store before it is created. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Rename invalid complex properties when migrating. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Revalidate database schema when MES settings change. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Supplemental Equipment in the Object Editor no longer allows editing of MESDowntimeDetectionMode, EquipmentActiveType, MultiOperationCapable simple properties and the EquipmentLicense complex property. | RC1 |

| Improved | Object creation, updating and deletion made much faster due to new versioning scheme. | RC1 |
| Improved | Once a connection between gateways through a piece of equipment has been established, changes to the equipment path will update the Enterprise settings. | RC1 |
| Improved | Retroactively filling the Change Log will now handle custom properties and invalid data better. Rather than stopping, the objects that encountered issues will instead be reported to the log and those objects will not get Change Log entries generated from historical data. | RC1 |
| Improved | Standard edition sites can use their own license but not share with children. | RC1 |
| Added | All features and fixes from SP13. | RC1 |
| Added | Intellisense documentation for system.mes.monitor methods ‘addException’, ‘start’, ‘count’ and ‘value’ | RC1 |
| Added | Production Bar Chart’s Graph Labels are now an adjustable property. Passing a String format argument will now display each bar’s name, or value, or percentage, etc. | RC1 |
| Added | Production Bar Chart’s Graph Labels can now be anchored at different positions. | RC1 |
| Added | Production Bar Chart’s Graph Labels can now be given a unique font. | RC1 |

+ 3.80.0 OEE Module
| Change Type | Change Log | Rev |
| Fixed | Resolved issue where downtime that occurred at the same time on multiple Cells were incorrectly being rolled up into a single event. | RC3 |
| Fixed | Issue with key reason cell calculator with disabled states under a key reason calculator. | RC3 |
| Fixed | Initial Cell Downtime Detection will no longer lock onto a cell that returns to a running state. This was caused by any surrounding blocked/starved cells (that have not recovered yet) forwarding fault to the initially-downed cell. | RC3 |
| Fixed | Resolved a layout issue with the OEE Downtime Table where while using the grid view, the equipment or state boxes could be missing until a repaint. | RC3 |
| Fixed | Fixed an issue where analysis would latch onto a more-recent line downtime event when using initialCell downtime detection mode when the line goes down and comes back up while a cell is currently down. | RC3 |
| Fixed | Initial Cell compares cell order on the common parent, to account for nested Cells and Cell Groups. | RC3 |
| Fixed | The Line Availability MES Tag will now show False during breaks in the schedule. | RC3 |
| Fixed | When using Live Analysis that calculates OEE Reject from OEE Infeed – OEE Outfeed, the previously-cached OEE Reject value is discarded and re-calculated from the current OEE Infeed and OEE Outfeed values. | RC3 |
| Added | Overloaded setDowntimeDetectionMode(string name) to Equipment objects. | RC3 |
| Added | Added getDowntimeDetectionModeNames() to Equipment objects. | RC3 |
| Fixed | Standard Rate for Hour is now entirely dependent on the coverage of the clock hour containing From Date by shift segments. For example, with an analysis row with From Date as 12:30, and assuming that the shift in question is 8:00-12:30, 12:45-16:30, the Standard Rate for Hour would be based on the 45 minutes of coverage within 12:00-13:00. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where End State time stamp listed same as State time stamp. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where running Operations Responses do not appear with function getOperationsResponses(). | RC2 |
| Fixed | Downtime reasons coming from blocked/starved cell groups do not mark as unknown. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where disk cache from live analysis would keep filling up without deleting old live analyses. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Prefixed strings with `N’` when interfacing with MSSQL to support Unicode encoding. Note that this will only be supported if the columns written to are an `NVARCHAR` variant (`VARCHAR` does not support Unicode). | RC2 |
| Fixed | Splitting downtime event that started during changeover shows Start Time appropriately. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Material unassigned from a line no longer appears in the Run Director component. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where reverted downtime event blocks note from displaying for original event. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where split events would cause display issues on OEE Time Chart. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where auto schedule by time completes after double the time. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Tooltips no longer included colons. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where Operations would generally start one minute after scheduled. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where cycle count had offset of 2 instead of an offset of 0. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where scheduled item starting in the same minute the current Operation ends cannot start until the next minute. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where split event would split into more than two events with child cells and/or setting the line state directly. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where downtime events around the end of the run do not have an end date. | RC2 |
| Fixed | OEE Downtime Detection Mode dropdown now properly selects the current value in the dropdown when opening the view. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Prevent duplicate <Any *> classes from being created. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Change Equipment on the OEE Downtime Table now uses the correct subpath in grid and list views. | RC2 |
| Fixed | When analysis is checking for duplicate counts, it will now iterate through the smaller set. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Rescheduling Operations to another line correctly changes the Operation to the new line on both routes and single operations. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Live Analysis shift datapoints no longer go stale. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where material on Process Segment named ‘Material Out’ with same material and equipment as OEE Segment conflicts in the OEE Run Director. | RC2 |
| Improved | MES Schedule View getToolTipText extension function now supports Ignition and production schedules. | RC2 |
| Improved | Add “Override Current Line Downtime” state flag and functionality for key reason downtime detection methods. | RC2 |
| Improved | The OEE Downtime Table and its sub-views are now translated in a similar method to the MES Equipment Manager. This means the Editors will be translated, table cell and column contents will be translated, and editable text not currently undergoing modification will be translated. | RC2 |
| Improved | The Bar and Pie Charts will now translate their titles, chart labels, and legend items. | RC2 |
| Improved | The Client Script function .getEquipmentStateOptions() has been given a performance update. Users should find that the scripting function’s turnaround time will be lower on average, and have a tighter standard deviation. | RC2 |
| Improved | The Bar Chart will now translate its axis labels. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Reverted Production Equipment name validation pattern to match platform 2.0. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Validate link relationships before adding objects to cache. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Check changes are not stale before applying, in the event an object is initialized on multiple gateways. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Live Analysis will be stopped when the associated equipment item has been deleted. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Splitting and reverting splits for downtime events propagates up to the Enterprise correctly. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Dragging tag to MES Counter window to create new MES Counter populates fields to default settings. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Deleted equipment does not appear in OEE Time Chart. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Dragging tag path onto an already existing MES Counter, Additional Factor, or Live Analysis in the Equipment Manager does not overwrite the name. Tag paths dragged at the top level with no path will operate correctly. | RC1 |
+ 3.80.0 Track & Trace Module
| Change Type | Change Log | Rev |
| Fixed | Zero Lot Threshold field in the MES Equipment Manager now allows decimals as it originally should have. Scripting is unaffected. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Fixed errors in getAvailableRefenceOptions when adding and removing parent objects. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Prevent circular dependency from causing stack overflow when loading associated equipment paths for a Segment that has a Material property, with lots being stored in Supplemental Equipment, that is a part of an Equipment Class. | RC2 |
| Fixed | An Operation that specifies a specific Manifest rather than a Manifest Class will let that Manifest be chosen at run time. | RC2 |
| Fixed | If a complex property is added then removed while still new, allow the match to be by name only. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Resolved concurrency issues with trace queries. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Get an Operations Definition from a Response Segment by going through the derived from Segment instead of Operations Response. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where material on Process Segment named ‘Material Out’ with same material and equipment as OEE segment conflicts in OEE Run Director. | RC2 |
| Improved | Equipment Operation Scheduled Begin/End, Equipment Operation Original Begin/End, and Equipment Operation End analysis datapoints. | RC2 |
| Improved | Added lot caching, to improve performance of finding available lots. | RC2 |
| Improved | Supplemental Equipment has an equipment path editable through the MES Object Editor. Associated equipment and lot methods can take advantage of this new feature. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Prevent circular dependency from causing stack overflow when loading associated equipment paths for a segment that has a material property, with Lots being stored in Supplemental Equipment, that is a part of an equipment class. | RC1 |
| Fixed | MES Material Lot status can be any String, to mimic 2.0 behavior. | RC1 |
| Fixed | Fixed errors in getAvailableRefenceOptions when adding and removing parent objects. | RC1 |
| Fixed | An Operation that specifies a specific Manifest rather than a Manifest Class will let that Manifest be chosen at run time. | RC1 |
| Added | Manifests as a new target for Material Lot location. Manifests can be transferred between sites, giving control over where materials are in the Enterprise hierarchy. | RC1 |

| Fixed | All schedules defer to Ignition’s timeline parsing, which can be visualized in the Schedule View at the bottom of the Schedule Management component. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Shifts that cross midnight are now handled correctly. | RC2 |
| Fixed | configureCell Extension Function has been added to work order components. | RC2 |
| Fixed | All queries with MSSQL are now prepended with {{SET NOCOUNT OFF;}}. This prevents the only known way that JDBC returns -1 to a non-select query. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where analysis manager would not restart on redundancy switch. | RC2 |
| Fixed | The ‘Before’ field of the changelog export now includes that entire day. | RC2 |
| Fixed | By default, always export definition objects to prevent missing source objects. Added more options for limiting what object types are exported. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Prevent a deadlock between the MESObjectManager and the MESTagManager when editing equipment. Prevent RPC calls or gateway scripts while the module is starting up by returning errors. Use system.mes.isProductionStarted() to check for ‘started’ state. | RC2 |

| Fixed | Improved behavior when pushing out modules from EAM. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Export and apply current property values for complex properties. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Cache MES Object Event Scripts to avoid unnecessary DB calls. | RC2 |

| Fixed | Change locking order when updating equipment in the Analysis Engine, to prevent conflicting with the Object Manager. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Scheduled Operations crossing midnight twice causing issues in scheduling. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Use parent object to determine sync servers in addition to child servers. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Copy and paste on licensed equipment no longer throws an exception. Equipment must be licensed after pasting. | RC2 |

| Improved | The Equipment Manager’s Equipment is now translated. If an item is about to be modified, it will revert back to its original text for ease of editing. When it is done being modified, it will perform a translation that only affects the GUI. | RC2 |
| Improved | The various tables found in the Equipment Manager’s editors will now translate their cell contents and column names. The effect is cosmetic only, and does not affect the underlying data. | RC2 |
| Improved | Minimum time between two sequential schedule items is one second instead of one minute. | RC2 |
| Improved | Default Store Rate on new MES Counters is now 60 instead of 0. | RC2 |
| Added | Logs have been improved for failed MES Object loading attempts that should help Support better identify them in the database. | RC2 |
| Added | system.mes.invalidateTranslationCache() can now be called via Client Script to clear cached translations. | RC2 |
| Added | Added a warning Dialog that informs user that it is difficult to un-sync Equipment linked to a Server in the Enterprise Network. Caution should be taken before committing (saving) Equipment. | RC2 |
+ 3.79.0 OEE Module
| Change Type | Change Log | Rev |
| Fixed | Resolved issue where downtime that occurred at the same time on multiple Cells were incorrectly being rolled up into a single event. | RC3 |
| Fixed | Issue with key reason cell calculator with disabled states under a key reason calculator. | RC3 |
| Fixed | Initial Cell Downtime Detection will no longer lock onto a cell that returns to a running state. This was caused by any surrounding blocked/starved cells (that have not recovered yet) forwarding fault to the initially-downed cell. | RC3 |
| Fixed | Resolved a layout issue with the OEE Downtime Table where while using the grid view, the equipment or state boxes could be missing until a repaint. | RC3 |

| Fixed | Initial Cell compares cell order on the common parent, to account for nested Cells and Cell Groups. | RC3 |
| Fixed | The Line Availability MES Tag will now show False during breaks in the schedule. | RC3 |
| Fixed | When using Live Analysis that calculates OEE Reject from OEE Infeed – OEE Outfeed, the previously-cached OEE Reject value is discarded and re-calculated from the current OEE Infeed and OEE Outfeed values. | RC3 |
| Added | Overloaded setDowntimeDetectionMode(string name) to Equipment objects. | RC3 |
| Added | Added getDowntimeDetectionModeNames() to Equipment objects. | RC3 |
| Fixed | Standard Rate for Hour is now entirely dependent on the coverage of the clock hour containing From Date by shift segments. For example, with an analysis row with From Date as 12:30, and assuming that the shift in question is 8:00-12:30, 12:45-16:30, the Standard Rate for Hour would be based on the 45 minutes of coverage within 12:00-13:00. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where End State time stamp listed same as State time stamp. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where running Operations Responses do not appear with function getOperationsResponses(). | RC2 |

| Fixed | Issue where disk cache from live analysis would keep filling up without deleting old live analyses. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Prefixed strings with `N’` when interfacing with MSSQL to support Unicode encoding. Note that this will only be supported if the columns written to are an `NVARCHAR` variant (`VARCHAR` does not support Unicode). | RC2 |
| Fixed | Splitting downtime event that started during changeover shows Start Time appropriately. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Material unassigned from a line no longer appears in the Run Director component. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where reverted downtime event blocks note from displaying for original event. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where split events would cause display issues on OEE Time Chart. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where auto schedule by time completes after double the time. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Tooltips no longer included colons. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where Operations would generally start one minute after scheduled. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where cycle count had offset of 2 instead of an offset of 0. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where scheduled item starting in the same minute the current Operation ends cannot start until the next minute. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where split event would split into more than two events with child cells and/or setting the line state directly. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where downtime events around the end of the run do not have an end date. | RC2 |
| Fixed | OEE Downtime Detection Mode dropdown now properly selects the current value in the dropdown when opening the view. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Prevent duplicate <Any *> classes from being created. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Change Equipment on the OEE Downtime Table now uses the correct subpath in grid and list views. | RC2 |
| Fixed | When analysis is checking for duplicate counts, it will now iterate through the smaller set. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Rescheduling Operations to another line correctly changes the Operation to the new line on both routes and single operations. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Live Analysis shift datapoints no longer go stale. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where material on Process Segment named ‘Material Out’ with same material and equipment as OEE Segment conflicts in the OEE Run Director. | RC2 |
| Improved | MES Schedule View getToolTipText extension function now supports Ignition and production schedules. | RC2 |
| Improved | Add “Override Current Line Downtime” state flag and functionality for key reason downtime detection methods. | RC2 |
| Improved | The OEE Downtime Table and its sub-views are now translated in a similar method to the MES Equipment Manager. This means the Editors will be translated, table cell and column contents will be translated, and editable text not currently undergoing modification will be translated. | RC2 |
| Improved | The Bar and Pie Charts will now translate their titles, chart labels, and legend items. | RC2 |
| Improved | The Client Script function .getEquipmentStateOptions() has been given a performance update. Users should find that the scripting function’s turnaround time will be lower on average, and have a tighter standard deviation. | RC2 |
| Improved | The Bar Chart will now translate its axis labels. | RC2 |
+ 3.79.0 Track & Trace Module
| Change Type | Change Log | Rev |
| Fixed | Zero Lot Threshold field in the MES Equipment Manager now allows decimals as it originally should have. Scripting is unaffected. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Fixed errors in getAvailableRefenceOptions when adding and removing parent objects. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Prevent circular dependency from causing stack overflow when loading associated equipment paths for a Segment that has a Material property, with lots being stored in Supplemental Equipment, that is a part of an Equipment Class. | RC2 |
| Fixed | An Operation that specifies a specific Manifest rather than a Manifest Class will let that Manifest be chosen at run time. | RC2 |
| Fixed | If a complex property is added then removed while still new, allow the match to be by name only. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Resolved concurrency issues with trace queries. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Get an Operations Definition from a Response Segment by going through the derived from Segment instead of Operations Response. | RC2 |
| Fixed | Issue where material on Process Segment named ‘Material Out’ with same material and equipment as OEE segment conflicts in OEE Run Director. | RC2 |
| Improved | Equipment Operation Scheduled Begin/End, Equipment Operation Original Begin/End, and Equipment Operation End analysis datapoints. | RC2 |
| Improved | Added lot caching, to improve performance of finding available lots. | RC2 |
| Improved | Supplemental Equipment has an equipment path editable through the MES Object Editor. Associated equipment and lot methods can take advantage of this new feature. | RC2 |

2.79.0 Change Notes
Version 2.79.0 is for Ignition platform 7.9.4 to 7.9.x. Our 2.79.0 modules are not compatible with Ignition 8. Please visit the “Platform 2, Ignition 8.0” tab to download available Ignition 8 compatible 2.80.0 modules.
The MES 2.0 platform release contains the new OEE 2.0 module. All other modules maintain the same functionality as their MES 1.0 counterparts but have been modified to work on the new platform. The Web Services, Barcode Scanner, Instrument Interface and Production Simulator modules from the MES 1.0 suite can be installed alongside these MES 2.0 modules. All other modules need to be upgraded to the 2.0 version. If you are upgrading from any of the MES 2.0 versions, please restart your Gateway after install.
Change Notes
+ 2.79.0 General: All MES Products
| Change Type | Change Log | Rev |
| Fixed | Unicode character support in import/export of Equipment States. | SP3 |
| Fixed | Issue where removeTagCollectorValues, updateTagCollectorValues, addTagCollectorValues function use later makes use of removeTagCollectorValue, updateTagCollectorValue, addTagCollectorValue respectively throw an error. | SP3 |
| Fixed | Each text is translated based on current locale. Previously, most of these fields were preloaded with the translations of locales upon initialization, but did not account for change otherwise. Also, each tooltip text was built with StringBuilders, translating each attribute name with its colon, so I made a builder that translates those names without their colons. This can be easily applied to any other tooltip with localization issues. | SP3 |
| Fixed | Issue where the Analysis Selector slide out panes only translate in Designer, but not in the Client. | SP3 |
| Fixed | Shifts that cross midnight now yield the correct Shift State Date and Shift State Date Time. | SP3 |
| Fixed | Getting shifts for the day now correctly returns all shifts that start within that day. | SP3 |
| Fixed | Time segments correctly merge into shifts when they are close enough. | SP3 |
| Fixed | The code now more accurately views time as a continuous construct. Midnight isn’t a special case that requires another method. | SP3 |
| Fixed | All schedules defer to Ignition’s timeline parsing, which can be visualized in the schedule view at the bottom of the Schedule Management component. | SP3 |
| Fixed | Shift End Date truncates to the midnight a week after the day for which shifts are being read. | SP3 |
| Fixed | Issue where select top queries on MSSQL would grab all rows. | SP3 |
| Fixed | Only ‘N’ prefix on user-entered columns in MSSQL. Columns such as UUID do not use the prefix. | SP3 |
| Improved | Creation of a ‘Cleaning’ Mode type. | SP3 |
| Fixed | Issue where Oracle timestamps were sensitive to locale. | SP2 |
| Fixed | Issue where concurrently running operations on a line reschedule. Only request segments related to the primary operation will reschedule. | SP2 |
| Fixed | Issues with upstream operations when scheduling downstream operations of a route. | SP2 |
| Fixed | First row of analysis showed the analysis start date instead of the appropriate value in the case when the value occurred before the analysis start date. The calculators with this issue resolved are: ShiftStartDateTimeCalculator, StateBeginTimeCalculator, LineStateEventBeginCalculator, EquipmentOperationBeginDateCalculator, ModeBeginTimeCalculator. | SP2 |
| Fixed | Line calculation issue with reject counter. | SP2 |
| Fixed | Custom calculators can now be used within gateway startup scripts. | SP2 |

| Fixed | Issue where equipmentStateOptions throws GatewayException with missing UUIDs. | SP2 |
| Fixed | Issue with cycle time calculators throwing a NPE. | SP2 |
| Fixed | Issue where overdue operations query listed same operation UUID twice. | SP2 |
| Fixed | Extension script function has been added to Work Order Table. | SP2 |
| Fixed | All queries with MSSQL are now prepended with {{SET NOCOUNT OFF;}}. This prevents the only known way that JDBC returns -1 to a non-select query. | SP2 |
| Fixed | Issue where analysis manager would not restart on redundancy switch. | SP2 |
| Fixed | Issue with filtering of State and Mode Duration calculators in Analysis Engine. | SP2 |
| Improved | MES Work Order Filter get/setClosedBeginDate & get/setClosedEndDate operate as expected on closed date. Addition of get/setDueBeginDate and get/setDueEndDate methods to operate on a due date. | SP2 |
| Improved | Internal index/schema management within factor and count tag collectors. | SP1 |
| Improved | Improved concurrency of system.mes.searchMESObjects. | SP1 |
| Improved | Translation performance when repeating the same performance. | SP1 |
| Improved | Adding entries in the MES Value Editor gives the option to update following values. Scripting function addTagCollectorValue also has overloaded version with ‘updateFollowing’ flag. This only applies to MESEquipmentCountTagCollector and MESEquipmentCycleCountTagCollector. | SP1 |
| Improved | Internal messaging from tag collectors to client components. | SP1 |
| Improved | Ensured that “Save” button text is translated on MES Object Editor. | SP1 |
| Fixed | After editing values in the MES Value Editor, tag collectors are still able to record the next change. | SP1 |
| Fixed | Issue where resynchronized users could have the last name set as the first name. | SP1 |
| Fixed | MES Work Order Table column settings on language change. | SP1 |
| Fixed | getTagCollectorPreviousTimeStamp() function returns passed in timestamp if it exists instead of only returning previous timestamps. | SP1 |
| Fixed | Irrelevant custom properties do not retrigger Analysis Controller. | SP1 |
| Fixed | Issue where a deadlock could occur on Production Module startup. | SP1 |

| Fixed | Concurrent operations may be scheduled at any point after the BEGIN time of their preceding operation. | SP13 |
| Fixed | Sequential operations may be scheduled at any point after the END time of their preceding operation. | SP13 |
| Fixed | Rescheduling operations that have concurrent sub-operations (that run when the current one BEGINS) will automatically reschedule them to the current operation’s begin time. | SP13 |
| Fixed | Rescheduling operations that have sequential sub-operations (that run when the current one ENDS) will automatically reschedule them to the current operation’s end time. | SP13 |
| Fixed | Issue where threads for aborted operations were not cleaned up. | SP13 |
| Fixed | the MESObjectSelector’s selected item will persist upon Window refreshes. This allows users to navigate between windows without losing their selection. This also allows other components with dependencies on the MESObjectSelector’s selection to stay up-t0-date. | SP13 |
| Fixed | MES Request Segments will update their Begin and End Date times so that they match their Operation Request’s Begin and End Date times. | SP13 |
| Fixed | Previously used data points within Group By and Order By will be removed when they are removed from the Data Points selection. | SP12 |
| Fixed | Using the Production module without either OEE or Trace will no longer generate errors in the logs about counters and additional factor tables being undefined. | SP12 |
| Fixed | system.mes.resetScheduleStatus() works without having to invalidate the cache. | SP12 |
| Fixed | Operations Requests in a Route resize improperly after Drag and Drop Start Time Change. | SP12 |

MES Module Archives
The MES module archives provide legacy releases for our modular software solutions.
WARNING: These legacy releases are provided to help developers troubleshoot and debug issues in older systems. For security reasons, Sepasoft does not recommend using these legacy releases for production.
Additional Information
The Track & Trace, OEE Downtime, Recipe/Changeover, and SPC modules require the installation of the Production module. All modules must be in the same version!
Web Services 3.80.0: When this module is installed in Ignition Maker Edition, only one simultaneous connection is allowed for each of 4 categories: REST Consumer, REST Provider, SOAP Consumer, SOAP Provider. The same module installed on non-Maker Ignition will behave normally.
The Sepasoft MES software development life cycle (SDLC) is as follows: Beta > Release Candidate > Full Release > Service Pack
- Beta: Version that has not yet passed our Test/QA process and is therefore not ready for a production environment. We provide this version as an opportunity for end users to test in a development environment.
- Release Candidate: Version has passed through our Test/QA process and is considered to be stable enough to be used in development and production.
- Full Release: Version follows the Release Candidate version and may include any minor fixes reported or found.
- Service Pack: Consists of minor updates to the Full Release version.
