Service pack V6.5- 0120 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-373: The function in Document settings “Use LDAP server for user login” can now be used independently of any other setting or expansion stage. This option can only be activated/deactivated by the supervisor. This function supports the central administration of persons and passwords using the LDAP Server. For the synchronization to work properly, there must be an existing connection to the LDAP Server.
- RP-610: It is now possible to import a list of either product- or process characteristics from an Excel file. Using the new menu command “File | Import | Import characteristics…” in Personal Desktop and Data Manager “Catalogs”, characteristics and characteristic types can be imported with their corresponding attributes (e.g. number, notes, value etc.).
- RP-2279: The Net Editors now observe the setting “Confirm mouse operations” (Menu: Tools | Workstation settings) and ask, when performing Drag and Drop, if the setting has been set.
- RP-3112: You can now sort by “name of function/characteristic” in the Failure Net Editor.
- RP-3142: Using a new Workstation setting (System optimization | “Derive new failure tree automatically from failure net”), you can now choose whether to automatically create a failure tree or not.
- RP-4002: Merging objects is now more comfortable via one new dialog.
- RP-4204: Several filters can now be simultaneously selected in the filter dialog (multiselection by Ctrl + left mouse button) and deleted. It is no longer necessary to select each filter individually to delete it.
- RP-4205: In the filter dialog if the mouse is hovered over the hot-click symbol “Notes”, an info bubble will appear with the notes of the filter.
- RP-4288: The Placeholder function in templates (introduced in SP0100) can now be used to immediately convert the data into static text. For this you need to add two “%” at the start of the placeholder sequence. Example: %sfil(search-filter-name)% creates a dynamic placeholder (Text contains the placeholder function and can be refreshed). %%sfil(search-filter-name)% creates static placeholder (text immediately becomes static after replacement).
- RP-4304: Templates can now be saved directly into the fme file as well as into the configuration file. This makes them available away from the workstation. To perform this action, right click the mouse and select “Templates | Template (fme)”. Templates from the configuration file can then be either exported or imported into fme files.
- RP-4330: When data with notes and embedded files (graphics etc.) were written into the Template, in some cases the embedded files did not transfer successfully. This problem is fixed.
- RP-4337: When filtering in FMEA Form/Deadline Editor for “has failure with… is anchored at system element with…”, under certain circumstances run time errors would occur. This is fixed.
- RP-4338: In both Control Plan & Process Flow Diagram copying system elements via Drag and Drop now copies their dependent objects (characteristics etc.) as well. This functionality works across files and in the same way as in other editors. To copy the system element without dependent objects, use “Special Drag” (i.e. Drag and Drop with the right mouse button) and the corresponding option in the menu.
- RP-4348: When closing a network version of IQ-Software, an error message sometimes appeared when the network connection to the file share of the program installation was broken. This is fixed.
- RP-4363: Search results of global actions were not displayed consistently in connection with responsibles, deadlines and initial states. This is fixed.
- RP-4367: In the Matrix Editor (Parts Functions Matrix, Variants Matrix, Variants Transition Matrix), the export as HTML and Excel file can be accelerated. This works by entering a value in the dialog box (Display options | HTML/XLS export | Replace symbol by). In the exported file this value will be inserted instead of the symbol in the matrix.
- RP-4368: The icons of the following object types were changed/revised: Error detection function type, Error response function type, Error detection function, Error response function, Error detection, Error response.
- RP-4374: Personal Information Manager (PIM): The WYSIWYG editing of lists and paragraphs in the notes entries has been improved.
- RP-4377: FMEA Evaluations: The content of the field “FMEA type” is now shown using the current document language (was previously displayed in interface language).
- RP-4378: There is now a third option when using Special Drag (Drag and Drop with the right mouse button) to copy the source object from the Catalog Editor. The source object is copied over without its dependent objects (type information is copied over but the context objects are not). Previously only 2 options were available: Source object is copied over as text copy or together with context objects (e.g. “Catalog -> Apply known failures”).
- RP-4404: If Sticky notes are opened in multiple desktops and different files, by clicking on the “Edit” this potentially lead to files closing and content in personal desktops being changed. This is fixed.
Analysis Desktop:
- RP-4380: In Analysis Desktop it is now possible to show the IQ Object IDs in “Task List Editor” and “Deadline schedule” evaluations.
CARM Server:
- RP-2083: In the “CSS Catalogs” editor the “Edit” menu now contains the “Find…” command.
- RP-4456: The context menu option “Notify module users…” was added to the editor “CSS Module” in the area “Module”.
- RP-4491: The option “Copy specific deadlines for modules” was not factored in when transferring module variants. This is fixed.
Data Manager:
- RP-2027: If the deadline or responsible of a global action is changed in the Catalogs for actions types, then a message will appear explaining how often this global action is used and a confirmation query asking whether to proceed with the changes.
- RP-4267: Until now the text search in Catalogs allowed the choice to include user defined attributes. As these are assigned to instances and not catalog entries, this option did not make any sense in the Data Manager and has subsequently been disabled.
- RP-4298: In the Notes list the notes for “action groups” appear separately for selection.
- RP-4401: Terminology/Translation: Highlighting and filtering of “out-of-date translations” and “not translated entries” was not working correctly. This is fixed.
Printing/WebPublisher:
- RP-4346: Web Publisher/Presentation Print: Selecting the Structure list or the Structure Tree in connection with multiple manually selected variants and filters lead to the wrong results being given. This is fixed.
- RP-4369: Web Publisher/Presentation Print: The display options were not applied correctly when they were manually defined in connection with the Structure Table. This is fixed.
FMEA Forms Editor:
- RP-4246: The “copy actions” when using Drag and Drop in the FMEA Form have been adjusted so that the attributes “Responsible”, “Deadline” and “Status” are transferred from source to destination object. This action is now analog to the copy actions in Structure tree and Function/Failure Analysis.
- RP-4455: Under certain circumstances in the Bosch FMEA form layout an error occurred ‘”RevisionState>>#notesSignificance” not understood’. This happened if a failure cause exists with a revision state that has no action groups and the attribute “No further revision planned” is set and the display option “Show notes” is active. This is fixed.
Graph Editor:
- RP-3995: A new graph will now always be opened in the butterfly partial view. Except in:
- Context menu: “Graph Editor (complete graph)”
- Category “open graph”: “open other failure/function graph”
- RP-4319: When performing commands using the category “Analyze actual values (functional safety)”, the results will only display relevant paths. Example: An analysis regarding missing values will only show paths containing missing values.
IQ Explorer:
- RP-4342: In IQ Explorer the tab “Search in files” now displays the operating system file “Attributes”. This makes it easier to determine which files are read only (e.g. “ra” stands for “read only” and “archive”). Apart from this you can now perform the following commands using the right click menu: open document, open directory in Windows Explorer and copy filename to the clipboard.
- RP-4370: It is now possible to display the tests in IQ Explorer in the grouped result list for the search results of characteristics. Next to the name of the test is the sample size and sample frequency. The existing display option “Other | Show the grouped result list with additional information (notes, user-defined attributes, top effects, etc.)” controls whether this information is shown or not.
- RP-4427: When searching for modules on the CARM Server, the “module category” can also be defined as a filter criterion. In the future, hierarchical superordinate module categories will also be considered (if requested). This can be controlled in the search filter of the Filter dialog | Attributes | Search nets/structures down to depth 0: (option must be activated).
Consolidation:
- RP-4106: If the new Workstation setting (System optimization | Consolidation) “Archive documents automatically after consolidation (into subfolder “archive”)” is active, then both the primary and secondary document will be relocated to the subfolder “archive” after consolidation. The current date and time will prefix the file name. As a result, only the documents yet to be consolidated will remain in the consolidation directory.
- RP-4321: When Object bookmarks of files to be consolidated point towards non-local external files, this lead to a warning “path not found” when consolidating. This warning will not appear in the future.
Statistics Editor:
- RP-2299: For selected analyses, it is now possible to hide result list columns using check boxes.
- RP-4334: When performing the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Analysis, the respective matrix can be opened with a command in the context menu.
- RP-4414: When printing a variant specific, FMEA form-related analysis, all forms contained in the variant were factored in, instead of just the selected ones. This is fixed.
- RP-4476: Under certain circumstances the error message “UndefinedObject>>#x” appeared in the Frequency analysis. This is fixed.
Structure Editor:
- RP-227, RP-2799, RP-3270: The functionality “Show action(s) at linked causes” from the context menu has been improved. It is now possible to select multiple actions with the same failure using multi-selection to show them all together. Furthermore, it is now possible to choose between either direct- or root causes and all the positions that have actions “shown” (faded in) will be displayed.
- RP-4270: A run time error previously occurred when performing a Drag and Drop with the right mouse button and dragging an action from the Structure tree into the Failure Net. This is now fixed.
- RP-4402: In the text search of the Structure Editor it is possible to select “Highlight all matching entries” and “Highlight all found entries in the entire tree”. As both options exclude each other, it is now only possible to either select one option or neither.
XML interface:
- RP-3994: When performing a partial XML Export of net objects, the net connections will be reconstructed on import as long as the objects already exist in the function or failure net of the destination file.
- RP-4344: XML Interface: Using the Workstation setting “Export S-Max with all faults that have no direct Severity or a lower one” you can control, whether the maximum severity is recorded with failures (that have been connected to effects). This action will be performed if this option is active, the failure has no direct Severity or the S-Max is greater than the direct Severity. This setting is deactivated by default as the calculation of the Severity can result in longer export times. The values are in so-called SDGS containers: <SDGS><SDG SI=”DICTIONARY” GID=”root”><SD SI=”SmallInteger” GID=”significanceMax”>10</SD></SDG></SDGS>
- RP-4372: When performing an XML Export of variant specific user defined attributes, run time errors potentially occurred if user defined attributes had been deleted. This is fixed.
- RP-4375: When importing RIF files (XML) there are now additional “Import options” in the import dialog. These allow you to decide which type of object the data from the RIF file should be imported as (system element, function, characteristic, failure, action). If objects with the same ID have already been imported, then they will not be replaced.
Only with maintenance license:
- RP-4287: Customers with maintenance contracts can now create “IQRs” (Individual Quality Report) in the Personal Information Manager. This is a development from SP0100 whereby templates have a placeholder function. A more precise description of this functionality can be obtained through our customer support.
