Design Corruption for ArcFM and Designer Patch #4663 for 9.2.1

 

This patch is intended for installation on top of ArcFM 9.2.1 (build 4573). This patch replaces previously issued patch #4615.

Functionality Included: Several issues are corrected in this patch:

• Correction of a defect that causes the design tree to lose all geo-association under certain scenarios (see the Notes section below for details). What this means is that the GIS CUs within a design are no longer associated to a features in the map. (#4663)
• Correction of a defect where errors occur if the quantity of a non-gis CU is greater than 32,768 units. (#4638)
• Correction of a deffect where large designs fail to save due to limitations in SQL expressions. A large design is defined as having greater than 1000 combined Work Locations and CUs in the design tab. (#4615)

Recommended Users: Clients who use Designer side by side with Session Manager (#4663) would benefit from this patch.

Notes for #4663: If a Design and Session have the same ID, when a session is either posted or deleted, the design with the matching ID has its row in the MM_HIDDEN_PACKAGES table deleted. The reverse is also occurring when a design is deleted, the session with the matching ID has its row in the MM_HIDDEN_PACKAGES table deleted. The MM_HIDDEN_PACKAGES table holds information about the design tree, structural analysis, and map extent.

Please note that we believe this is the source of the design corruption that we have researched with Designer users in the past. This can occur if you are using Telvent's "out-of-the-box" Session Deleter or, in some circumstances, using a custom Session Deleter. If you have encountered this type of data loss, please contact Technical Support as there are instances when this data can be retrieved and restored.

If you are maintaining a custom PX Deleter that programmatically deletes records from the MM_Hidden_Packages table then you will need to ensure that each package is based on both Name and Category for correct identification. A list of categories is provided in the mmPackageCategory enumeration.

The following files are included in the patch and will replace existing files:

• mmDesignerAPI.dll (#4663)
• mmSessionManager.dll (#4663)
• mmWorkflowManager.dll (#4663, #4638, #4615)
• mmWorkflowSubtasks.dll (#4638)
• mmWFMIntegration.dll (#4638)
