History

Revision History

Reason for 7.20 release on 9/29/2004
* New driver.
 

Reason for 7.20a release on 10/25/2004
* Corrected the issue where the EGD Data Service terminated when processing an invalid summary request message.
* Corrected the issue with the response messages to configuration port requests containing an invalid content type.
* Blank variable names are no longer able to be entered in the configuration.
* Release Notes updated to state that ICN Service or EGD Service shall be removed or disabled for the new EGD OPC server to work.
* The driver was updated so it removes obsolete XML files if the local producer id has changed.
* A placeholder ProducedData.xml was put in place so EMT won't report error.
* Corrected the display of the welcome message in the setup dialog.
 

Reason for 7.22 release on 03/13/2008
* Added support for redundancy at the variable level, rather than at the exchange level as originally envisioned. This requires that resolution of a variable name to physical location be done dynamically and re-resolve when quality of hosting exchanges changes. Designed and implemented to requirement specification.
* Fixed a defect where an exchange of good quality, upon a configuration update (dynamic binding) triggered by another exchange, uses the newly updated layout to interpret its current EGD payload data that hasn't been updated.
* Added a new option to enable automatic save of configuration file following a dynamic binding.
* Updated setup to allow EULA of a larger size and detect/attempt to install .NET v2.0 if any of the three EGD tools (EGD Management Tool, EGD Configuration Server or EGD Generic Editor) is to be installed. The three tools are updated to v3.0.1.
 

Reason for 7.40 Service Pack release on 10/17/2008:
* Modified and validated for use with Microsoft Vista
 

Reason for 7.40a Service Pack release on 06/09/2009:
* Added option to install and register as a Service.
* Corrected issue with Help not working when running as Service.
* Proactively review code to identify and correct areas of concern that could result in issues if the driver and database get out-of-sync.
 

Reason for 7.40b Service Pack release on 01/26/2010:
* Re-branded to reflect new company name GE Intelligent Platforms, Inc.
* Corrected an issue where a lockup could occur while adding many items and concurrently performing async updates.
 

Reason for 7.40c Service Pack release on 04/22/2010:
* Under heavy load, server would sometimes return a status of RPC_E_SERVERCALL_RETRYLATER (0x8001010A).  The RPC retry logic has been expanded and enhanced, and the limits are configurable through the WIndows Registry (please see Release Notes for details).  This issue was found using PPS with Cimplicity.


Reason for 7.40d Service Pack release on 06/10/2010:
* Changing Registry key DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MULTIPLIER had no effect.
* Added command line option to disable .NET checking on startup, specifically for use by the PPS team.

Note:  If your firewall blocks ZIPS and EXEs, simply right-click and select SAVE TARGET AS and change the extension to something like "XIP".  Once downloaded change the extension back to its original one.

All drivers produced by vendors other than GE ("3rd Party Drivers") are provided by GE "as is" and without warranty of any kind unless the vendor extends a pass-through warranty to the end user.  Support for 3rd Party Drivers is provided by the driver's vendor.
