IoT Value Plan Subscribers, MindAccess Developer Plan Subscribers and MindAccess Operator Plan Subscribers

Known issues

• If a VFC workflow for an asset in a subtenant exists, it is not shown in the respective tile in the Asset Manager for a tenant admin.

• Fleet Manager navigation is not working correctly if you have to re-login as query parameters are lost. This problem will be addressed soon. Please try again by clicking the Fleet Manager navigation button.

• The Connectivity Management view currently only shows assets derived of BasicAgent, MindConnect Nano, MindConnect IoT2040, MindConnect Library or Industrial Edge or a derived type of the mentioned ones.

Known issues

• General: X-Tools is capable of uploading huge amounts of data, but you need to keep in mind the limits and purchased size of your MindSphere plan at all times.

• If the asset path in a Storage Profile contains more than one asset, it might lead to creation of duplicate assets. It can be fixed by deleting those duplicated assets, changing, saving and restarting the Storage Profile.

• See locally installed release notes.

Known issues

• Only single asset sharing is available in the first release.

• Sharing of assets derived from basicAgent and their corresponding plugins is not yet supported.

• Tenant assets can not be moved under collaborators root asset or shared assets.

• Unsharing of assets is currently not possible in the UI but via MindSphere Support.

• Revoking of sharing offers on sharer side is not yet possible.

• Terminating the collaboration will not remove active sharings and shared assets on the receiver side in the first release.

Known issues

• If you receive NULL values for timestamps on a Windows PC, please change your language for non-Unicode programs to English (United States). You'll find the settings in Control Panel → Region and Language → Administrative.

Edge Streaming Analytics is a complete new offering for building & managing edge analytics use cases that can process streaming data on a connectivity hardware of your choice. Edge Streaming Analytics helps processing large amounts of data at high speed with low latency directly on the edge, without the need to transmit all data to the cloud. Still, you can create workflows, manage devices and monitor workflow health from the MindSphere platform in a centralized manner.

• Available to the IoT Value Plan tenant. Requires devices to be registered and onboarded as MindSphere agents

• Increase data ingest to MindSphere separately if you desire to upload data from streaming devices

• The offering comes with 3 seats for managing devices, 1 seat for creating workflows and 1 device license for connectivity hardware with up to 2 CPUs (hardware not included)

• Upgrades are available for more devices as well as seats for using the apps

• Please read the user guide for Edge Streaming Creator to learn how to create projects and build use cases in https://documentation.mindsphere.io/resources/pdf/edge-streaming-creator.pdf

• Please read the user guide for Edge Streaming Manager on how to manage devices & deploy workflows https://documentation.mindsphere.io/resources/pdf/edge-streaming-manager.pdf

What's new?

• State of "auto update" of time picker saved in user settings

Known issues

• If you have problems logging off in Internet Explorer 11, please refer to Overcoming Logout Problems in IE11. 

• After a user's role assignments have been changed, e.g., using the Settings app, the changes do not immediately become active. The user must re-login, e.g., by closing the browser and logging in again.

• App specific roles: 

  • Additional core app roles to come soon.

  • Some apps are still accessible via their direct URL and allow using shared functionality that the user has been granted via the app-specific role of a different app.

• After modifying the authorization of a user via Identity Management Service, the change is not immediately visible. The user must then close the browser and login again.

Fixed issues

• Users get information about missing roles, if apps cannot be displayed.

What‘s new?

• Performance optimized block and stream processing
  The Analysis Package "Vibration Characteristic Values" can now be configured to be calculated in an "block processing" mode, which is less memory and CPU consuming. Therefore it is possible to configure more calculations in parallel on one single MCN
  Note: For the defined Calculation Duration a certain amount of time will be used for filter settling and will not bring calculation results. 

Known issues

• Deactivating a data point within a MindConnect data source will not deactivate a connection check in Edge Analytics Engine. This can lead an error if the target device is not available anymore.

• DataBus and Event Based Data Upload configuration can be created with no or deactivated data, which will lead to a critical error on project start.

• In some sporadic cases of a configuration update via Ege Analytics Manager it can happen that the Mind Connect Nano gets stuck in "project stopping" - In this case the MindConnect Nano has to be rebooted.

• Note: A full configured monitoring of the Analyzing Packages Vibration Characteristic Values and Vibration Frequency Spectra with all channels of one SM1281 can exceed the CPU performance of the MindConnect Nano. Also in other scenarios dependent of tasks running in parallel on the MindConnect Nano, CPU load can get to high. The recommendation is to use only two full configured Vibration Frequency Spectra Analyzing Packages in parallel.

• Note: A compatibility check, whether the Edge Analytics Engine version on the target MindConnect Nano supports all possible types of Analyzing Packages, which are offered by EAM, is not yet done. Therefore it has to be made sure that the newest firmware version is installed on the MindConnect Nano when using the new Analyzing Package Vibration Frequency Spectra, otherwise the Edge Analytics Engine will suspend.

• In case migration of SM1281 configuration has been done with EAE Version 1.0.6 speed is shown with unit m/s - The configuration has to be recreated to fix this issue and show a correct unit in rpm.

Known issues

• Launchpad button is not working in MindConnect IoT Extension. It is not possible to return to the Launchpad via the OS bar. Please use the Launchpad Button in the IoT Extension applications( right corner on the top).

• Business roles doesn't have Launchpad Button in IoT Extension.

What‘s new?

• Ensuring that at least one user has either role mdsp:core:TenantAdmin or mdsp:core:settings:settingsAdmin.

Known issues

• A deactivated user (or not assigned user at all), who tries to login to this tenant, receives a non-MindSphere error-page and gets no support.

Known issues

• The subtenant use case is not yet supported by Data Flow Engine.

• Applications can use the subtenant functionality via the provided APIs. Tenant administrators should pay attention when assigning such apps to subtenant users as subtenant isolation cannot be ensured by the platform. The app might expose data to the user that is not intended to be seen.

• When moving an asset from a parent tenant to a subtenant, there might be a delay of up to 30 minutes until a subtenant user will be able to see data related to that asset.

• Please be aware, if you provide a user (even subtenant user) the role "mdsp:core:TenantAdmin", this user is then able to get access to all kinds of tenant data.

What‘s new?

• Minor updates improving usability and appearance. 

Known issues

• Permission to buy is currently part of tenant admin and will be extracted to a separated role soon.

• Currently no personalized notifications for subscriptions (TenantAdmin) or subscription requests (StandardUser) are available.

What‘s new?

• Additional metrics will be shown at the Customer Dashboard:

  • “TimeSeries Inbound Bandwidth”: Daily average transfer rate of all machine data sent to Timeseries service.

  • “TimeSeries Storage”: Amount of machine data that is stored for the tenant in Timeseries service.

  • “IoT Extension Storage”: Amount of data ingested into MindConnect IoT Extension calculated per respective month. 

• At Customer Dashboard, Limits history can be exported to a .csv file.

Known issues

• File Storage (GB)” displays the value 0 (zero) in "Limits“ and "Services“ sections. This is a temporary issue only related to visibility in Usage Transparency without any impact on data storage or availability.

• In "Reports" or "Overview" section in few cases a time out error message appears when loading the page for a while. As a workaround, after getting error, reload the report for same month with a second click.
