Known Issues - RTMC will not function properly if the TeeChart control is newer than: TeeChart2011.0.0.5ActiveX.exe, January 12, 2012, Build 2011.0.0.5, File size - 30.86 MB, Therefore, if you install another application that overwrites this control with a newer version, you will see issues in RTMC. Re-installing LoggerNet will fix the problem.
Known Issues - Mapped network drives cannot be used when LoggerNet is running as a service. This is caused by a Windows update that disallows the use of mapped network drives when running as a service for security reasons. To use network drives when running LoggerNet as a service, you must use the full UNC path (e.g., computer_namedirectory ilename). Note that the ability to write to the network drives will be governed by Windows security. It will be necessary to configure the LoggerNet service to run under an account that has network privileges. This requires changes to the properties of the LoggerNet service in Windows. Contact your network administrator for assistance.
Known Issues - When using LogTool to zip all log files and certain file errors occur, the operation may still be reported as successful. For example, If LoggerNet is running as a service and an attempt is made zip all log files and store them in the root directory of a mapped network drive, a failure will probably occur as the service cannot access mapped drives but the operation is reported as successful.
Known Issues - The following LNDB issue affects View Pro and RTMC Pro when using an LNDB database: If LNDB has been running with a SQL Server 2005 database, the timestamps in the tables will be of type DateTime. If you then upgrade to SQL Server 2008 the DateTime data type for the timestamps is carried over to the 2008 database. However, LNDB expects the timestamps to be of type DateTime2 which has a higher precision than DateTime. This type mismatch causes queries to fail. In order to fix this issue, you will need to use the SQL Server management tools to change the data type for the timestamp columns to DateTime2.
Toolbar Bug Fix - Fixed a bug where hidden clients (Setup, Connect, Troubleshooter, etc.) would not restore when launched from a minimized iconized toolbar.
Toolbar Bug Fix - Fixed a bug where the toolbar taskbar icon was not staying hidden when it was launched minimized.

Server - Enhancements - Added support for the TCP password setting for the TCPComport device type.
Server - Enhancements - Changed the behavior of the BMP5 file control command so that, if the original command specified that the data should be left in the datalogger tables, the server will preserve the data in its own cache table as well. This should provide a means to change the program without losing data from the cache.
Server - Enhancements - Changed the parent/child configuration rules to allow a PakBusPortHD device type to be added as a child to an MD9 Passive device type.
Server - Enhancements - Changed the operation for polling NTCIP-ESS stations so that, if the station reports that the local time OID is an invalid object, the server time (adjusted for the time zone offset) will be used instead of the reported station time.
Server - Enhancements - Added a new device setting, tlsClientEnabled, that applies to TCP serial ports and will control whether the server will attempt to start TLS for outbound TCP connections made by that port. The primary use of this setting is to support DevConfig's new encryption feature but its use may be expanded in the future.
Server - Enhancements - Added support for the file format options associated with collect areas as well as the formatted data advise transaction so that the option to format midnight timestamps as 24:00 are now supported.
Server - Enhancements - Added code to track and report the client application name as well as the client's user name in reports for the LgrNet Operations Enumerate transaction where these attributes are applicable.
Server - Enhancements - Added code to clear the count for verifying a PakBus neighbor link when a full packet has been received from that neighbor. This will prevent the server from initiating verification when the PakBus port has been off-line and the datalogger sends one way data. This will not prevent the initial hello from taking place if the neighbor has been newly detected.
Server - Enhancements - The Task Master engine has been integrated into the server.
Server - Enhancements - Added IPv6 support.
Server - Enhancements - Created a new device setting, tableFileStationNameSelector, that controls how the station name field in table files will get filled. This setting will be applied to the CR1000, CR3000, CR8xx, CR5000, and CR9000 datalogger types. If it is set to indicate that the reported station name should be used, this setting will cause the server to attempt to poll compile results each time that a new operation is added and the station has been off-line
Server - Enhancements - Added support for the socketPreOpenScript and socketPostCloseScript device settings for root level devices. This setting will get marked as ignored for any device but the TCP serial port and the terminal server. These settings will specify the names and command lines for programs that must be executed before the port attempts to open a socket and after that socket has been closed.
Server - Enhancements - Added code for BMP5 dataloggers that will allow the server to respond to get value requests from the datalogger with data from the specified cache table. The cache table is identified using the station-name "." field-name syntax that RTMC uses.
Server - Enhancements - Added a timer to delay the automatic retrieval of table definitions by fifteen seconds
Server - Enhancements - Implemented the following new LgrNet transactions: LgrNet Add View, LgrNet Change View, LgrNet Remove View, LgrNet Enumerate Views, LgrNet Monitor View, LgrNet Enumerate View Map.
Server - Enhancements - Added support for LoggerNet default settings.
Server - Enhancements - Added support for the new option for the server to send the "extended" version of the data broker data advise start acknowledgement message. This extended version allows whole arrays to be described with one entry instead of an entry for each array element. This is to support increased efficiency when dealing with large data records.
Server - Enhancements - Added code to the file synch poll operation implementation so that, if the control structure specifies a pattern that does not include a drive specification, the effective pattern used for matching will be modified to include a wildcard specification for the drive.
Server - Enhancements - Created a new LgrNet setting, maxDataFileSize, that will be used by the server to optionally limit the size of its data files.
Server - Enhancements - Added support for the pollForStatistics device setting for BMP3 and BMP5 dataloggers. Also added code to update relevant statistics when the status table values are polled.
Server - Enhancements - Added support for PakBus Encryption (AES-128).
Server - Enhancements - Changed the device file enumeration transaction so that it can send a longFileSize attribute as well as a fileSize attribute. This change was made to support large (> 2 GB) file system capacities on the datalogger.
Server - Enhancements - Added code to the PakBus router base class that will produce a fault comms log message whenever a delivery failure message is handled by the server.
Server - Enhancements - Added a code in the device file control transaction implementation to deal with the new compile, pause, and mark tables as full control option that is available for the CR1000 and cousins. This is a mechanism to allow recovery of data that has been lost on the datalogger after a power loss (the user forgot to set the run on power up bit) or after the user inadvertently sent a program to the datalogger.
Server - Enhancements - Changed the BMP5 get compile results and get table definitions transactions to alter the compile results with a warning if there is a program running but there is no power up program running
Server - Enhancements - Changed the file synch poll operation so that it will allow the temporary files to remain after a communication failure and, on the next collection, to attempt to collect starting from the end of these files. This behavior is not supported by the current released OS (cr1000.std.26) but will be in future operating system versions. Once this feature is supported by the datalogger, it could greatly reduce the amount of data that has to be transferred when trying to get data files again.
Server - Enhancements - Changed functions and classes that deal with file names and directory names so that they assume the use of Unicode encoding.
Server - Enhancements - Added code to the server and the PakBus router class that will allow us to track operation reports for PakBus operations such as the hello, send neighbors, get neighbors, echo (ping), and client sponsored PakBus transactions such as those used by PakBus Graph and the settings editor applications.
Server - Enhancements - Extended the time that the PakBus/TCP Server will wait on a new connection before hanging it up from five seconds to forty seconds. Also added code so that this device will broadcast a hello request on new connections if no activity has occurred within five seconds of the initial connection.
Server - Enhancements - Added support for the comma-separated no-header format option for the data broker formatted data advise transaction.
Server - Enhancements - Added a transaction log message that gets posted each time that the next time to poll gets calculated.
Server - Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug in the code that forms static PakBus routes where, if an RF-PB device type (which acts as both an RF-TD remote as well as a PakBusPort) is defined as a child (directly or otherwise) to another RF-PB device type, the parent RF-PB could wind up picking up the static route to any stations attached to the child RF-PB
Server - Bug Fixes - Added code for the BMP1 table poll operation that will prevent the server from sending a hole collection command to the datalogger that is larger than the logger can handle. (This was already being done for the hole collection operation but was not for the table polling version.)
Server - Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug that could crash the server when multiple set value commands were queued for a mixed-array datalogger while the datalogger was in an off-line state. This could set up the conditions where an infinite recursion took place until the program stack was exhausted and the server crashed.
Server - Bug Fixes - Modified the code in the cache manager thread that adds records for a table so that older records will be eliminated if a set of records is larger than the size of the cache table. Failure to do this could result in inconsistent information for table blocks because too few records were "released".
Server - Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug that could crash the server if it was trying to open the link on a TCP serial port and the address look-up failed for the specified address.
Server - Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug in the Linux build where memory could leak each time that a thread was ended. This was happening because the is_started flag was being cleared by the thread entry point. Because of this, the pthread_join() function was never called and the process wound up accumulating memory as threads were started and stopped.
Server - Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug where, if an exception was thrown when an incoming TCP messaging connection was handled, that exception would wind up crashing the LoggerNet server.
Server - Bug Fixes - Added code to handle the case when a communication error is reported by another operation in order to ensure that the logger lock was released.
Server - Bug Fixes - Added code to ensure that any reports associated with a device are removed when that device gets shut down. Failure to do this could lead to a crash if the device was deleted after being shut down
Server - Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug where, if the callbackTcpPort or the comPortId settings were changed for the TCP serial port device type while it was waiting for a call-back connection, the server would not force the link off-line in order to apply the new setting values.
Server - Bug Fixes - Added code to ensure that the notification of whether communication is enabled is not sent to the devices unless the communication enabled condition has really changed. This addresses a bug where BMP5 data collection could get stuck if a client set the commEnabled setting (either the device or LgrNet setting) to true when it was already true.
Server - Bug Fixes - Fixed a bug in the shut down code where the device was removed from the network map structure before its shutdown() method was called. On some networks, this could lead the server to throw an unhandled exception when it was being shut down.
Server - Bug Fixes - Concentrated the work of authenticating a TCP link in the TCP port provider class rather than allowing the PakBus port object do this. The primary reason for this change is that authentication failed when a connection was being made via call-back. Authentication on a new TCP link will now take place if the tcp-password setting is not empty for the root device object or if it is set for any of that device's children.
