UPDATE
Applies To:
ITScriptNet V1/V2
ITScriptNet 2.1a (4) contains the following updates.
Please note that due to some improvements in the OMNI Server communications, you will need to upgrade both the PC and your Terminal Clients.
DETAILS
Program Developer Updates
Added Resizing of window panes in the Edit Scripts screen.
Added ‘Find’ capability to search for keywords in Scripts.
Added new functions to more efficiently save, lookup and update collected data records.
Added new properties, methods, and events to all elements to enhance program design and flow.
Fixed problem where FOR loops got reset when calling a global script or event from within the loop.
Added Style support.
Improved Printing of the design properties of the data collection program for documentation purposes.
Updated ValidationFail to accept an optional parameter to specify which control should get the focus. The optional parameter is only effective when calling ValidationFail from the Post Prompt or After Validation scripts, or from the Validation event.
Fixed FileRename in the simulator. Fixed FileDelete syntax check.
Fixed bug where the editing of a script did not trigger the ‘Changes made, do you want to Save’ message when starting the simulator.
Added new Registration / Unregistration Wizards that require fewer input fields and no copy/paste.
Added scripts that execute before uploading, after uploading and before downloading.
Fixed non-ANSI font support for the simulator.
Fixed problem assigning a value to other grid columns than the first.
Added new Hotkey support for any ASCII value.
Added GetPowerStatus function which indicates whether the unit is getting power from the cradle or charge cable.
Force validation file generation of date/time fields to MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS format instead of using AM/PM.
Added FileCopy function with parameters allowing the overwriting of an existing file or failing if the file already exists.
Fixed the bug that did not allow the combination of using the filter field and override script when using collected data in a grid and combobox.
Press F5 key to start the simulator.
Communication Protocol Enhancements
Changed IsAssociated so it returns 1 or 0 (if supported) regardless of the state of the Check Association config parameter. Before, it would return -1 if association checking was disabled.
Improved speed of loading ITBs by buffering reads from the Flash File System.
Added command line switch to the Upload utility to generate validation files from the command line. /Vx where x = U (upload), M (manual), A (all) or /V for all.
Added setting to isolate database connections when downloading to Access or ODBC allowing multiple devices to download data at the same time without possible data loss.
Fixed bug with generation of index files when simultaneously loading to multiple terminals.
Added the ability to only generate index files only when the index file is older than the validation file.
Added OMNI Server and Client support for continuous connection mode. This keeps the terminal’s connection open with the server, saving the time it takes to make a new connection.
Fixed problem loading programs in the Omni Server in Demo mode.
Removed the requirement to upload to a terminal from a Registered upload utility.
Added option to make download process wait for the Omni Server to complete processing before continuing.
Changed SendCollectedData failure mode to prevent triggering hybrid downloads.
Added mode to manually control from the terminal uploading and downloading using the DLServer.
Added acknowledgement in the communication protocol when files transfer over Omni Server.
In Demo mode the OMNI Server now runs for 30 minutes instead of only allowing 15 accesses.
Data Processing Enhancements
Added SaveCollectedData function which allows the saving of a record at any time. Not<
