Configuration of the History Server feature fails when you upgrade InBatch History Server to InBatch version 11.5.1 from versions prior to InBatch 11.0.

Before proceeding with the upgrade, ensure that you delete all SQL Jobs related to Archive\Purge\Restore. Prior to InBatch 11.0 version, any SQL Agent jobs (Archive\Purge\Restore jobs) created in InBatch History Server may have been associated with BatchAdminUser, BatchReportAdmin, or BatchUser role. These user roles have been removed in 11.0 release.

L00107356

Due to the large number of services running on Foxboro DCS platforms, the installation program should check the value of the SessionViewSize registry setting. It is likely that this registry value does not exist and will need to be created. If you ever notice that services unexpectedly fail to start, the value of this setting may be too small.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate down to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management].

   If a registry value named "SessionViewSize" exists, ensure that it is at least 30 (hex) or 48 (decimal).

   If it does not exist, create a new DWORD value named "SessionViewSize" and set it to 30 (hex) or 48 (decimal).

L00082612

Custom-created reports that are populated to the batch report directory are not available for configuration and scheduling.

Use the following steps to configure and schedule the custom reports.

For example, suppose a report named "Custom Batch Detail" is populated in the list.

1. Update the RptServicesConfig.xml file in the following location:

   <systemdrive>:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ReportWeb\ReportConfig

2. Open the file RptServicesConfig.xml for editing.
3. Add the following line under the <Reports> node:

   <Report Name="Custom Batch Detail" file="CustomBatchDetail.rdl" description="My Custom Report" />

4. Save the file.

   Now the report named Custom Batch Detail is available for configuring and scheduling. Add a similar line for each custom report that is populated in the Execute Reports list.

    

L00098867

When using the IBCli application, some I/O Servers or DAServers (including FS Gateway) may report an error about an "Unknown Watchdog" tag. This error is only reported when IBCli starts. However, the Watchdog tag still functions as expected.

If you get the following errors from IBCli:

• Too many ping timeouts (NOTE: only if you get this error repeatedly).
• Failed to register "Watchdog" ping tag - pinging is disabled.

  Do one of the following:

• Try to upgrade to a newer I/O Server or DAServer version.
• Create a tag called Watchdog in the I/O or DAServer. The tag can be of any data type.
• Disable pinging using the IBCli Disable Ping option.

Workaround:

1. Create a new folder and name it (E.g. Test). Ensure that the folder name is not Config_A.
2. Copy the contents of the Config_A folder to the new folder.
3. Run cvtmaster, directing it to the new folder.
4. Copy the database from the new folder to the Config_A folder.

L00139186

Error and warning messages related to ReportQueueReader are logged in the SMC logger after you enable the Enhanced security mode using "aaConfigSQL" tool.

Workaround: Ensure that the ServiceDB user (configured to run the InBatch ReportQueueReader service) has access to printers and has the privilege to print.

• In the Citect Design window, the application crashes when the "InBatchGUIConfig" control is inserted prior to inserting the 'InBatchSFC' control on the same page.

  Workaround: The "InBatchSFC" control must be inserted prior to the "InBatchGUIConfig" control on the page/symbol.

• Font size cannot be changed on any of the Batch ActiveX controls in Vijeo Citect.
• An error message is displayed on the Control Area when you hold the InBatch Field ActiveX controls and drag them to a different location on page, during design time.
