If you upgrade from GE Digital APM V4.2.0.0.0 or later, the Calibration Strategy and Device Type fields in a Calibration Profile that had been created before the upgrade are now disabled and populated automatically. In addition, a new field, Is Upgraded, is added to the Calibration Profile family, which indicates whether the Calibration Profile was created in a previous version (i.e., before the upgrade).TFS343956
Table 10. Resolved Issues

The following issues, which existed in one or more previous versions, have been resolved.

DescriptionTracking ID
Previously, in a Calibration Template, Discrete record, if the value in the Temperature Element Type field was None, then you could not link an asset to the associated Calibration Profile. This issue occurred in the following scenarios:
  • You upgraded from GE Digital APM V4.2.0.0.0 or later to V4.3.0.2.0.
  • The template was created before the upgrade.
  • The template was a profile template.

This issue has been resolved.

TFS345165
Previously, when you attempted to link a single asset to multiple Profile Templates, and then created multiple Calibration Tasks for all the Profile Templates, only one Calibration Task was created and linked to the last Profile Template. This issue has been resolved. Now, in this scenario, all the Calibration Tasks will be created and linked to each Profile Template.TFS340381
Previously, when sending data to the Beamex CMX calibration software, the value in the Equipment ID field in the Equipment family was being used to populate the value in the DEVICEID field in the equipment and work order XML in the Beamex CMX calibration software. Due to this, if the character length of the value in the DEVICEID field exceeded 65 characters, you could not send data to the Beamex CMX calibration software. This issue has been resolved. Now, the values in the Equipment ID and Equipment Technical Number fields in the Equipment family are used to create the value in the DEVICEID field.TFS340380
Previously, on the Analog Calibration Template datasheet, if the value in the Calibration Type field was Fluke 74x, the Primary Input Range Units and Primary Output Range Units fields were populated with unsupported units of measure (UOMs). Due to this, if you selected an unsupported UOM, you could not send data to the Fluke calibrator. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Primary Input Range Units and Primary Output Range Units fields are populated with the supported UOMs.TFS335945

Previously, even if generating Recommendations for an analysis in Created state was enabled, in the upper-right corner of the Analysis Summary workspace, if you selected the More Options button (), the Generate Recommendations option did not appear. This issue has been resolved.TFS342683
Previously, in an RBI 581 Consequence Evaluation, the values in the Environmental Clean-up Costs and Total Financial Consequence fields were calculated incorrectly for storage tank components. This issue has been resolved. To facilitate this fix, the AST Shell Rupture Product Leak R Script has been modified.TFS341051
Previously, in an RBI 581 Risk Analysis, if you selected the Stress Override check box, the following issues existed:
  • If you modified the value in the Stress Lookup Table field, then the value that you had entered in the Flow Stress field was replaced with 0.
  • If you did not select a value in the Stress Lookup Table field, then the analysis calculation failed. A validation message appeared, indicating that the Stress Lookup Table field must contain a value.
These issues have been resolved. Now, if you select the Stress Override check box:
  • The value that you enter in the Flow Stress field is retained even after you modify the value in the Stress Lookup Table field.
  • The analysis is calculated successfully even if the Stress Lookup Table field does not contain a value.
