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

What's new?

• With this release we now support the data types BIG_STRING and TIMESTAMP to be configured via the MindConnect Library Plugin.

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.

• If you are using app specific roles you need to assign plugin roles as well. This is up to now only possible for MindConnect LIB plugin.

• The Connectivity Management view currently only shows assets derived by 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.

• The successful implementation of a new sharing is normally completed within 2 minutes. If the new sharing is not successful within this time, the internal retry mechanism starts automatically after 4 minutes to complete the sharing. This issue will be addressed soon to prevent delays in the implementation.

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.

Known issues

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

• App specific roles: 

  • Additional core app roles are coming soon.

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

Known issues

• In Time Series Import user interface, the user can only view first level of child asset at the moment when importing the time series data.  The workaround for this approach is to use backend API to import data related to multiple child assets

• It is observed that browser crashes randomly when trying to download files > 400MB.  It is advisable to use backend API for downloading objects > 400MB

• When uploading the data using cross account access via native applications e.g. AWS CLI, the default permission is set to user of the account. The user has to provide the parameter (--acl bucket-owner-full-control) so the bucket owner (Integrated Data Lake) will get the necessary access to generate pre-signed URLs.

What's new?

• We introduce the Complex Data - Fleet Manager Plugin: A plugin called "Complex Data" for Fleet Manager is now available to visualize complex data generated and uploaded by Mind Connect Edge Analytics or X-Tools. The Plugin is able to visualize Spectra in its first version.

• The Analysis Package "Event Based Data Upload" will now allow you to upload raw-data recordings with a maximum lengths of 10s and a Sampling Rate of 21kHz.

Known Issues

• When uploading Event Based Data Upload or Data Upload package to MindConnect Nano device and there are no enabled input signals within the Analysis Package configuration, the update ends in error state "Prepare Environment or Update/Start Configuration". Having critical error message in User Logs.

• 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 fully configured Vibration Frequency Spectra Analyzing Packages in parallel.

• Deactivating a data point within a MindConnect data source will not deactivate a connection check in Edge Analytics Engine. This can lead to an error if the target device is no longer available.

• DataBus and Event Based Data Upload configuration can be created without data or deactivated data, which will lead to a critical error on project start.

• In some sporadic cases of a configuration update via Edge Analytics Manager it is possible that the Mind Connect Nano gets stuck in "project stopping" - In this case, the MindConnect Nano should be rebooted.

• If a 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.

• On updating to the new Firmware version, the currently defined project will still run. Existing configurations can't be modified with the new Firmeware. Instead the complete project has to be re-created to use the new feature of Trigger Rules.

• It is recommended to use at minimum Mozilla version 78.0.2 or Microsoft Edge version 83. To ensure the app will be loaded correct.

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.

• With this release, the following additional metrics on Customer Dashboard will be displayed:

  • High frequency "Time series data ingest rate" ca. 3 minutes update cycle. Due to data aggregation the data shown is not older than 35 minutes.

  • High frequency "Time series data ingest rate per asset" ca. 15 minutes update cycle. Due to data aggregation the data shown is not older than 35 minutes.

  • "Time series data ingest rate per asset" daily aggregated.

  With this release following changes on Usage Transparency App will be performed:

  • Tab bar on the left "Overview": "Assets" on tab bar on right upper corner will be removed and will be replaced by asset level data ingest on customer dashboard from this release on.
