Previously, Policy Designer displayed only the first 1,000 Instances in the Instances, Execution, and Validation panes, and when you searched for Instances that were not already displayed, the search did not return the correct results. This issue may have resulted in errors when you saved new Instances, where the new Instance ID was identical to an existing Instance that was not currently displayed in Policy Designer. This issue has been resolved. Now, up to 10,000 instances can be displayed in Policy Designer. As a result, you may encounter longer load times for policies with a large number of Instances. TFS354793
Previously, in V4.3.0.3.07, in the Policy Designer Overview page, in the Active Policies and Inactive Policies sections, references to other records in the Execution Result Summarycolumn did not appear as links. This issue has been resolved. TFS352646
Previously, for a policy model that included a primary record and an Input node, in the Instances section, when you accessed the Search window of the Input node, no records appeared. This issue occurred when a relationship was not defined between the family used in the primary record and that used in the Input node. This issue has been resolved. TFS352234
Previously, if you modified the time zone of a Policy from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to any other value, and then executed an Email Contact node that contained a timestamp value in the Message section, the timestamp in the email message did not reflect the new time zone.

Previously, prior to an upgrade, if your database contained a scheduled policy with an invalid time for the most recent Last Date or Next Date, an error occurred, and the upgrade did not continue as expected. This issue has been resolved. Now, when you upgrade your database, the Policy Upgrade Utility clears the value from the Last Date or Next Date field where invalid times were encountered so that you can manually update the execution schedules in Policy Designer as needed.

Previously, for a query that contained one or more compound join conditions, if you attempted to modify a compound join condition via the Design workspace, you were unable to modify the join, and the query was corrupted and could not be run. This issue has been resolved. Now, if a previously existing query contains one or more compound join conditions, you can access and run the query as expected unless you first access the Design workspace for the query. If you access the Design workspace for such a query before running the query, the query will be executed based only on the information in the SQL workspace, and will ignore any modifications normally applied by selections made in the Design workspace. If the query is executed in this way, columns whose Display check boxes are cleared appear in the query results, and hyperlinks do not appear in the query results. Also, now, if you create a query that contains one or more compound join conditions, you cannot access the Design workspace for that query. TFS347790

Previously, when you exported query results as an Excel file:

  • If your query was not formatted, date and time values in the exported file were incorrect and no longer in the time zone associated with your Security User account.

This issue has been resolved. TFS351331
Previously, when you added multiple existing checkpoints to a Route simultaneously, if you closed the Route before all checkpoints were successfully added, when you attempted to access the Route again, the Route did not load as expected. This issue has been resolved. Now, when you add multiple existing checkpoints, a progress bar appears, preventing you from closing the Route until the checkpoints are added. TFS351327

TFS347513
Previously, when you used a Thickness Monitoring (TM) Equipment or Thickness Monitoring (TM) Functional Location Data Loader to update measurements in a different time zone than the time zone in which the original measurements were created, new measurement records were created, and the existing measurements were not updated.
