Service pack V6.5- 0130 is available now. For new features and fixed bugs see the list below. This service pack can be downloaded from our internet sites (https://www.apis.de) (https://www.apis-iq.com).
General:
- RP-1801: If the status of an action is set to finished a symbolic deadline will be replaced by the concrete date of this symbolic deadline.
- If the status of an action is set to finished a symbolic responsible will be replaced by the concrete person of this symbolic responsible.
- RP-2146: Object-Inspector: Promoting a variant specific deadline attribute of an action to master value in the Object Inspector also wrongly promoted all other variant deadline attributes. This has been fixed.
- RP-2830: The attributes “Sample frequency” and “Sample size” of a test sample now can be assigned variant specific values.
- RP-3156: The following information for the display option “Parameters Functional Safety” has been added: DC value, EDT, ERT
- RP-3479: Variants Matrix Editor: if several objects are selected and the action “Add to variant” is chosen, for each selected object a dialog asking “Add the dependent objects to the variant?” had to be confirmed. This has been changed so that this confirmation dialog only appears once at the beginning.
- RP-4403: When working with two workspaces: with the Structure Editor (above) and the Variants Matrix (below), right-clicking in the Variants matrix resulted in the focus being lost in the Variants Matrix. This has been fixed.
- RP-4436: When importing from LDAP in Teams and persons, it is now possible to define the filter criteria in the “Import” tab: “File | Import | Import persons (LDAP)”. This was previously only possible in “Mapping”.
- RP-4447: If a value is entered for a translation language (not reference language) and there is no corresponding value for this entry in the reference language, then the value of the translation language will also be assigned to the reference language.
- RP-4470: When synchronizing in the Deadline Editor, the layout will not change if the object to be synchronized is visible in the current layout.
- RP-4516: In Process Flow Diagram, by selecting “white” as background color, this will not just change the color to white but reset the background color to default (undefined).
- RP-4553: Structure Editor: When filtering for Deadline/Responsible the actions “NONE” were not filtered correctly. This has been fixed and they are ignored when filtering.
- RP-4556: It is now possible to encrypt emails using TLS. This can be defined in “Tools | Workstation settings | Settings | E-mail”. (The SMTP information should be the same as for your Mail Client Software).
- RP-4570: Find/Filter: it is now possible to filter only the lowest structure level using the filter “Is anchored at lowest level of the structure”. This is useful for e.g. causes that are anchored at this level.
- RP-4575: The translation of “NONE actions” was missing in the Korean language. This has been fixed.
- RP-4588: When copying to the clipboard (Ctrl + c) and then clicking on the Menu bar “Edit | Paste special”, it is now possible to anchor the copy origin to the target object for failures and functions. This helps e.g. in FMEA form, when the copy origin and target object are far away from each other.
- RP-4624: Graph Editor: The grid lines were removed.
- RP-4650: 3rd party software which added additional controls into the window caption could block the closing of dialogs in the IQ software. Internal changes should now prevent these interferences.
- RP-4675: Auto filter in Structure Editor/FFA: it is now possible to use an auto filter for numbering using the context menu. This shows only the partial structure that corresponds to the number schema of the selected object (system element, function, etc.).
- RP-4676: Text search for date: When the search pattern in the text search contained a date, the resulting entries with a date in the Table editors and FFA were incorrect. This has been fixed.
- RP-4722: The only icon now displayed in the context information (e.g. structure element, structure, etc) is the object type icon.
- RP-4734: By clicking on a hot-click icon with the “Alt” key held, the new editor will open in an “ALTernative” workspace. The “normal” workspace can be defined in “Tools | Workstation settings | Settings | Personal Desktop | Open editor via hot-click icon in “.
- RP-4741: The FMEA Form filter “The top 10 failures (initial state)” did not filter as expected. This has been fixed.
Analysis Desktop:
- RP-3958: “Failure status” statistics: When switching from the results table to the FMEA Form, a query appeared twice asking the user which form to select. This is now fixed.
- RP-4380: It is now possible to show the IQ Object IDs in “Task List Editor” and “Deadline schedule” evaluations.
CARM Server:
- RP-3274: In the CSS module of the Service Manager, there is a new display option: “Module size”. The size of newly uploaded modules is saved and can be displayed. This applies from CARM Version 4.65-0060 onwards.
- RP-4532: Used modules of fme documents, whose module information is missing on the CARM Server, can no longer be transferred. Instead, a new module (as a module predecessor ) can be determined on the Server.
- RP-4577: It is now possible to compare a used module’s state with the CARM Sever, in order to find potential differences. From the Structure Editor use the context menu “CSS | Compare module” when a root system element of a module is selected. This is also possible using the Menu bar “CARM Sever | CSS Modules | Compare module”. Note: only differences in the module will be compared and not module transitions.
- RP-4635: Module variants can now be updated to new generations.
- RP-4699: In the “add module” dialog, notes icons are now displayed.
Control Plan:
- RP-2585: In Control Plan, “ID numbers” (variant-specific) for miscellaneous objects can be displayed. This can be done by ticking the box in “Display options | Options | ID number”.
- RP-4019: In Control Plan it is now possible to group the fields “Inspection method”, “Size”, and “Frequency” into one field called “Test sample”. This can be done in the Display Options by selecting “Options | Miscellaneous | Show field ‘Test sample’”.
Data Manager:
- RP-2860: In “Data Manager – Notes list” the notes of action groups will also be displayed.
- RP-4486: Catalogs/Administration editors: The search option tab “Attributes” (Edit | Find…) has been removed from editors where it has no relevance.
Printing/WebPublisher:
- RP-4090: Presentation print/Web Publisher: it is now possible to select multiple structures and variants for structure-based documents in one step.
- RP-4316: In Presentation print/Web Publisher: it is now possible to select multiple e.g. fmea form sheets, and add variants to all of them at once using the context menu.
- RP-4583: Web Publisher: it is now possible to define the layout (either persons or teams) for Teams and persons. To set this go to “File | Web publisher | Settings | Display options… | Publisher options | Layout”.
Excel Ex-/Import:
- RP-1403: When exporting forms into Excel: The header width will match the width of the data area (in columns).
- RP-4239: Excel import regarding mechatronics objects: When importing an Excel table containing mechatronics objects the failure net was built according to following schema: Effect – Mode – Error response – Error detection – Operating condition – Cause
- This has been changed so that now the failure net is built using this schema: Effect – Error response – Error detection – Operating condition – Mode – Cause
- The old behavior can be reactivated by entering the registry entry key ‘use_RP_4239_Implementation’ with value (DWORD) ‘0’ under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Apis\IQ65\<product>\Settings
- RP-4548: When importing characteristics from Excel (File | Import | Import characteristics), a query dialog would ask for each characteristic which variant it should be connected to. This has been changed so that the import is no longer variant specific.
Properties Dialog:
- RP-2751: In the “Properties dialog | Attributes” for actions, it is now possible to set/unset the action to global. This can be done by selecting/unselecting the box “Is global action”.
- RP-4610: In the “Info” tab of the properties dialog, it is possible to display and hide the details. It is also possible to always display the details by clicking on “Info | Options | Always show details”.
FMEA Forms Editor:
- RP-2954: Using the display option “Use symbols for valuations” it is possible to use traffic light icons instead of numbers for valuations. This can be found by going to “Display options | Options II | Colors”. The size of the icons has been enlarged.
- RP-4417: The RPN of action groups containing no actions are now displayed in parentheses just like in the Structure Editor.
- RP-4448: In FMEA cover sheet, the option “right-click | Add file name” is available again.
IQ Explorer:
- RP-4006: In the IQ Explorer filter: it is now possible to include the “ID number” when filtering for “Object properties ‘corresponding'” and “Object properties ‘not corresponding'”. This can be done by ticking the “ID” box in “Properties”.
- RP-4636: In the Variant comparison table, the Causes/effects list will not appear if Failures/functions are also excluded from the variant. This reduces the size and complexity of the comparison table.
- RP-4652: When opening the Variant comparison table with ratings of faded in actions, the error message “ActionsGroup>>#discoveriesForFaded not understood” sometimes appeared. This has been fixed.
Net Editors:
- RP-3356: Failure Net Editor: Using the command “Edit | New | Connect causes/effects from function net”, it is now possible to define new failures directly, in the dialog box that opens, using the context menu.
- RP-4433: The confirm message when deleting a connection when multiple objects were selected has been improved. The text “Delete?” has been replaced with “Delete connections anyway?”.
- RP-4541: When linking to nets and with “Confirm mouse operations” selected, a query dialog popped up asking “Link object?”(introduced in SP 0120). This has been disabled.
Personal Information Manager (PIM):
- RP-4547: Personal Information Manager: it is now possible to load & save an Individual Quality Report (IQR) template in the configuration file as well as the fme document.
- RP-4596: When copying objects with PIM bookmarks, the bookmark reference of the original does not change. This allows copied PIM bookmarks to be synchronized back to the PIM Editor again.
- RP-4623: When bookmarks were applied across multiple files, synchronizing with the icon or by the Menu “Edit | Sync to bookmark” did not work for the file that wasn’t open. This has been fixed.
Statistics Editor:
- RP-4555: Frequency analysis: when printing, the language in the legend did not match the content language. This has been fixed.
- RP-4600: After changing the document language, a set filter was ignored. This has been fixed.
- RP-4691: Difference analysis: when filtering the “Cause” column, an error message “FmeaStatDiffAttachment>>#notesObject not understood” would sometimes appear. This has been fixed.
Tools and Dialogs:
- RP-513: When merging objects in multilingual documents, the user is notified if the translations are inconsistent in the merge dialog box.
- RP-1528: When deleting a structure, a dialog box will display which variants and versions are affected.
- RP-1897: The “Rename instances” dialog now allows textual “filters” for certain instances, e.g. instances only within a structure.
- RP-3596: In the settings for print batch it is now possible to choose the layout of the table of contents. The two options are portrait and landscape. Only one can be chosen or neither. If neither are selected, then the standard print settings will apply.
- RP-4524: The default setting for the option “Merge instances” in the dialog “Merge” will contain the most recent state for as long as the IQ Software is open.
- RP-4644: Filter dialog (detail filter): The button “Levels” now opens the “Filter criteria dialog” for all objects. The button “Criteria” on the other hand opens the “Filter criteria dialog” for the currently selected objects (this is the same as double-clicking on the object).
XML interface:
- RP-4562: If data is exported to a partial XML interface and then reimported, the structural dependents will be reconstructed (if it is possible).
- RP-4657: XML Import: The message “No problems found” is unnecessary and will no longer appear.
- RP-4665: RIF Import: Along with the RIF format, it is now also possible to import customer requirements from XML files in ReqIF format.
- RP-4670: When importing XML data with characteristics that were not explicitly defined, the characteristics were imported as process characteristics. This default behavior has been changed and product characteristics will now be generated instead.
- RP-4677: XML Import: When the Workstation setting “Derive new failure tree automatically from failure net” was active during an import, the imported failure trees were overwritten (since Service Pack 0100). This has been fixed so that the failure trees from XML files remain unchanged.
Only with maintenance license:
- RP-3449: Using the properties dialog (File | Properties | Settings), it is now possible to view all workstation- and document settings and directories of the fme document. This information can be copied, sent by email, printed, or exported as HTML.
- RP-4550: In Web Publisher, a new option is available: “Create a reference file in the parent directory for the current job.”. This creates an HTML file in the parent directory with the same name as the name of the Web Publisher job. By opening this file, the user will be redirected to the last job done in the Web Publisher.
- RP-4552: In Web Publisher, a new hyperlink “Structure variants” is available (only when variants are exported). Clicking on the link shows all variants (that were involved in the export). These links show the variant documents that concern the variant.
- RP-4662: RIF/ReqIF Import: Maintenance customers now have the ability to use the RIF/ReqIF import functionality. An explanation of how to use this interface can be found here: https://www.apis-iq.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/apis_rif_import_20151026_EN-min.pdf
Customer specific changes:
- RP-2847: Bosch – CARM Server module variants: In the Services Manager it is now possible to select and compare a module and its dependent module variants by using the context menu and selecting the two elements. This works the same way as the “Compare module” functionality.
