DE145698
Previously, if you changed the value of the MaxDLQueueLength parameter in the AppSettings.json file to modify the maximum data loader queue length for data loader jobs, the default value was considered instead of the updated value. Due to this, you were not able to increase the maximum queue length from the baseline value of 10. This issue has been resolved. Now, you can modify the data loader queue length.DE145505
Previously, during EAM data load, if the number of extracted records was zero, the data load failed with the status displayed as Completed With Errors. This issue has been resolved. Now, in this scenario, the status is displayed as Completed.DE144685

The following enhancements and new features have been added.

DescriptionTracking ID
APM Connect now supports UDLP V2.9.0. Additionally, the data loader framework in UDLP V2.8 is now compatible with Predix Essentials.US437963
To optimize the performance of data loader ingestion process, APM Connect now allows data loader file size of up to 30 MB. In addition, APM Connect now performs a check on the .zip file to ensure that the maximum file size does not exceed 100 MB in uncompressed state.US434679
You can now load data from the following data loader workbooks using the Automatic Data Loader:
  • Asset Criticality Analysis (ACA Checklist)
  • Generation Availability Analysis (GAA) Events
  • GAA Wind Asset Hierarchy
  • GAA Wind Events
  • GAA Wind Sub Group Capacity
  • RCM Analysis Template
  • Risk Matrix
  • US433975
  • US433369
Table 3. Resolved Issues

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

DescriptionTracking ID
Previously, you could not modify WorkOrderHeaderCost file name using the Transform_WorkOrderHeaderCost job because the services associated with the job did not support customization. This issue has been resolved.US434020
Previously, the data loader logs were stored as long text in the Interface Log records. This resulted in increased size of the records, which degraded the performance of Predix Essentials. This issue has been resolved.US431006
Previously, you could not create an inspection task if you did not have the license for SAP Work Management Interface even though the license was not required to create the task. This issue has been resolved.DE139956
Previously, using the global search, when you attempted to search for a record associated with the Taxonomy families, an error occurred, and no results were returned. This issue has been resolved.DE139330
Previously, when using the APM Family Data Loader to import data, if the Site Reference Name column of the Data worksheet did not contain the Family ID, the data load was successful, however, the relationship was not created. This issue has been resolved. Now, in this scenario, the relationship is created, and a warning message is written to the interface log.DE138511
Previously, when you attempted to load Production Loss Analysis (PLA) data loaders through the Automatic Data Loader, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved.DE138256
Previously, when loading data using the Unified Asset Ingestion Data Loader, the non-English characters in the data were converted to ‘?’ in the Predix database. This issue has been resolved.DE137904
Previously, when you extracted SAP characteristics to create Technical Characteristic records in Predix Essentials, single-value date and time characteristic values were not populated. This issue has been resolved.DE136026
Previously, when uploading records using the Unified Asset Ingestion data loader, the data was uploaded to the Meridium database, even if the upload failed in the Predix database. This resulted in the Meridium and Predix databases being out of sync. This issue has been resolved.DE135978
Previously, in the APM Family data loader, if you specified a unit of measure (UOM) behavior for a given field, and you loaded that data into Predix Essentials, and then, if you updated the UOM value and reloaded the data, the field value in Predix Essentials was not converted as per the updated UOM. This issue has been resolved.DE135246
Previously, if the Data Loader Configuration family contained a record with the Loader ID only, when you clicked the Import New button in the Data Loader window, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved.DE133385
Previously, when loading data using the Unified Asset Ingestion Data Loader or the APM Family Data Loader, if there was an exception in the Configuration worksheet, the error log did not record the issues clearly. This issue has been resolved. Now, the error log contains detailed information about the issues encountered, the causes of the issues, and recommendations on how to fix the issues.DE129508
Previously, in the APM Family data loader, if you prefaced a Field ID with the Family ID, and if there was a corresponding behavior field indicating the Unit of Measure (UOM) or time zone for that field, and the behavior field was not prefaced with the Family ID, the UOM or time zone behavior was ignored. So, the field value was not converted to the corresponding UOM or time zone in Predix Essentials. This issue has been resolved.DE128483
Previously, when loading data using a data loader, if the data loader input file name contained special characters that the APM Connect File Share system did not handle, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved.DE127324
Previously, when using the APM Family Data Loader to load data to a Family whose Family ID contained at least one space, and a column on the Data worksheet was prefaced with that Family ID, the upload failed. This issue has been resolved.DE125932
Previously, when attempting to write the Interface Record Log Text, there were many System.OutofMemory exceptions due to the large size of the Log Text file. This issue has been resolved. Now, the size of the Log Text file is capped at 256 MB.DE123757
Previously, when you attempted to load records through the APM Family Data Loader, if a field contained the string value "False", an error occurred, even though "False" was a valid value for that field. This issue has been resolved.DE120260
Table 4. Obsolete Features

The following features are no longer available.

DescriptionTracking ID
You can no longer configure the processing order of Automatic Data Loader (ADL). Now, all the files in ADL are processed in the order in which they are saved to the file structure (that is, in the order of their time stamp values).US437678
