Petro-SIM Explorer
| Defect | Area | Description |
| 11382 | PS Explorer | Issues with dataset end times across date line in local time, but on same UTC day |
| 11465 | PS Explorer | Error message displayed when F1 function is clicked. |
| 11533 | PS Explorer | KBC Explorer does not trend variables of type ExtraData properly |
| 11672 | PS Explorer | Standalone Explorer UMT shortcuts do not respect preferred unit set |
| 11676 | PS Explorer | Opening case from Explorer causes PS to freeze if missing license |
| 11923 | PS Explorer | Unable to navigate between tabs to view details |
| -- | PS Explorer | Fix null ref exception when right-clicking whitespace in explorer tree. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Add outlier detection to automatic trend-scaling, helps keep charts more focused on normal operating range |
| -- | PS Explorer | Define a new generic object list control that looks a bit like a plypicker, use it to host multi-case report trends on tab items instead of nesting a second tab control. Looks nicer and it gives you a scroll bar when you have a lot of sub-pages |
| -- | PS Explorer | Defect-fixing based on feedback: |
| * fixed icon visibility issue on new applications with base case not yet defined | ||
| * fixed bulk run issue where every 2nd run would fail when not using ""Re-use Petro-SIM"" on reference not being set to null after close | ||
| -- | PS Explorer | Improvements and fixes: |
| * Expand DB-to-DB drag-drop to allow assays, reports, workflows, and historian connections | ||
| * When creating internal collection structure, ensure that objects are ordered by ID. WF and Report subscriptions fail badly otherwise | ||
| * Massive optimization when multi-selecting a large number of cases | ||
| -- | PS Explorer | HX Monitor training feedback: Add icon to re-open an approved data set that is visible where the approve icon used to sit in disabled state on Monitoring Reports and Datasets tabs. Author now gets updated when approving and re-opening. |
| -- | PS Explorer | fix issue copying fouling bar charts as table in Explorer |
| -- | PS Explorer | Helpdesk 1009171: Fix issue in Explorer meter report for customer case when it coalesces linked meter variables, and has to inject a new meter at end of list. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Helpdesk 1009075: minor docs updates around Historian import functionality in Excel workbooks |
| -- | PS Explorer | optimize Data Sets tab in Explorer, get it populating faster by tuning base query and adding general ability to execute SQL in parallel. Also load and cache process window in bulk, so that it is not constantly hammering the DB to load it on demand as you scroll. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Add more obvious description of what the cross means (linked variable) in meter report after confusion reported by users |
| -- | PS Explorer | Helpdesk 1008500: Improve smart scaling in Explorer charting |
| -- | PS Explorer | Helpdesk 1008414: fix issue with trending stream properties across time in Explorer, was having a tough time dealing monikers having multiple links |
| -- | PS Explorer | Helpdesk 1008349: Fix issue in explorer key stream report for case with a variable called "Distillation TBP Wt_00", couldn't handle all zeros. |
| -- | PS Explorer | In Explorer case Raw Data view, objects with many children now group them into sub-nodes by type, if there are multiple children of the same type. Means FCCs now have a manageble tree instead of having to scroll through 400 odd update factors. |
| -- | PS Explorer | optimize query for single-object reports, gets monster report reading 20x faster (18s vs. 6min) |
| -- | PS Explorer | Quick hit report query speed-up, add some = predicates around type and attribute when all variables have the same ones (e.g., reports targeting spreadsheet cells). Plus ensure that default connection timeout is unset on fresh machines. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Fix some issues in Meter History timelime report around trending, also have it show Model value as well. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Minor Explorer enhancements based on troubleshooting experiences: |
| * Historian writeback now defaults to false (most don't use this feature, and it tramples the read diagnostics that would be useful in determining connectivity issues) | ||
| * Opening DB cases now attempts to bring Petro-SIM into the foreground | ||
| -- | PS Explorer | Add steam ops filter to Explorer's case Raw Data tree per feedback |
| -- | PS Explorer | Add guidance to the "Run cleaning cases" column on Bulk Run tab that setting on Options tab overrides. Also make Reporting tool build tree on demand, rather than in constructor, otherwise if it's slow it causes the splash screen to appear to hang. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Prune the amount of data that gets stored to DB for UMT datasets, based on gory stats around multi-case reports and fractop split fractions |
| -- | PS Explorer | Explorer - new SQL Server function around index usage, fix bottleneck on application load by making sample historian integration off by default, add ability to open shortcuts to reports |
| -- | PS Explorer | Explorer - Improve SQL window to handle multiple results tables and info messages, means we can see output from diagnostic stored procs w/out needing SQL Server Mgmt Studio. Fix timestamp in query plan archive to use month instead of minutes. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Explorer - updates to existing defrag script to account for new best practices, also add some new maintenance procs to force rebuild a specific index; delete objects of type; delete KPI/spreadsheet cell clutter; and delete stream compositions. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Parameterize the retry options for unavailable DBs in automated run |
| -- | PS Explorer | Improve DB maintenance stored procs, they now recommend status update with heuristically-determined sample size and manage a refcount in the revisions table that Explorer monitors to determine when maintenance is in progress. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Add new data retention option which allows users to specify max history to keep and then auto-deletes old cases. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Optimization for SQL Server 2014 in the main report query, joining on ObjectData.CollectionID and not Objects. Incorporate a safety valve so the table that gets joined can be toggled via a reg. entry, since it seems to change with every version of every provider. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Explorer now queries DB Revision values and role memberships in bulk and caches them, allowing them to be used more heavily without killing performance. Also fix a bunch of role membership Defects and add some half-baked security around collection type role membership when the Collections view is not in place. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Speed up grid column sizing by a ridiculous amount for certain queries that return hundreds of thousands of rows with a narrow string length distribution in certain columns (e.g., rowid, objectid) |
| -- | PS Explorer | Refactor how the single-case KPI report is generated in Explorer, now uses KPI objects, not CellInfo objects. Means we can stop storing out CellInfo stuff to the DB and save a large chunk of data. |
| -- | PS Explorer | Fix bug where "Toggle Point Markers" option was not working for trends with only one data series |
| -- | PS Explorer | Test feedback: don't use UTC dates in monitoring case names |
| -- | PS Explorer | Fix column-sorting bug in PS Explorer KPI report |
| -- | PS Explorer | Add new ZoomGrid control, which allows trend pages to be zoomed in or out to increase number of visible trends |
| -- | PS Explorer | Allow datasets to be generated (and reported properly) on an hourly basis |
| -- | PS Explorer | Add ability to drag and drop UMTs from one DB to another, copying app settings and basecase only |
| -- | PS Explorer | Change default value of saveCaseNamesWithLocal with regard to inclusion of UTC in case name |
| -- | PS Explorer | Fix issue exporting history report to Excel, where UTC dates are getting sent; add new option allowing user to choose to generate monitoring run case names with local time instead of UTC. |
| -- | KBC.Monitor | Move diagnostics flush in KBC.Monitor to finally block, so that early returns due to license failure will actually send an error email as expected. |
| -- | KBC.Monitor | Tweak KBC.Monitor runscheduler logic to allow stored-proc-only config files for maintenance runs |
| -- | KBC.Monitor | KBC.Monitor now detects if the DB is undergoing maintenance, and if so writes out its current scheduled runs to a catchup xml file that will be processed next time around. File access is blocked by a mutex to ensure that 2 different instances don't try and process it at the same time. |
| -- | KBC.Monitor | Add KBC.Monitor feature allowing definition of multiple proc windows per run definition, gives way to schedule system maintenance and then catch up by scheduling 3 different config files in 3 tasks |
| -- | KBC.Monitor | Add a RoundToMinute option in KBC.Monitor config file to support rounding DateTime.Now down to a nice, neat timestamp |
| -- | KBC.Monitor | KBC.Monitor improvements: |
| * add general mechanism to map xml snippets onto object properties using reflection | ||
| * add ability to send out emails when automated runs are finished | ||
| * add ability to execute stored procedures as part of a run to help give insight on how automated runs affect fragmentation and query speed, and eventually perform DB maintenance. | ||
| -- | KBC.Monitor | Correct missing UTC->local conversion in KBC.Monitor automated runs |
