Multiple instances of the XslHandler can be added to a single form. This enables the generation of multiple output files, with different custom data formats, from a single publish operation.
Bug fix: XslHandler - Invalid file name characters in the form name are not escaped when creating output file name.
Bug fix: XslHandler - Certain XML elements (XML Location, Assignee, Organization, Vendor, Stockroom) can be missing in the generated file for PO forms when creating new assets and that element's field is NOT on the form.
Bug fix: Mobile PO form - In the grid column header, PCN alias incorrectly shown for Description and AssetType aliases.
Various performance enhancements to audit mode and procurement module (receiving) forms. This includes improvements to mobile RFID performance.
Many enhancements to audit mode.
"Required for status validator" was not working correctly on procurement module forms.
"Model required validator" was not working correctly on the single form.
Audit mode now includes support for CA freetext locations (e.g. Floor, Room, Shelf, Slot fields of ca_owned_resource).
Many enhancements to audit mode.
When using the XSL Handler to publish to text files, you can now specify the file name extension of the generated file.
Mobile RFID scanning is now available as an optional module.
Debut of the new "audit mode" in mobile bulk forms. Configuring a bulk form in audit mode allows you to specify a location, see all assets currently assigned to that location, and audit that location for accuracy.
The AssetTrack procurement module is an existing feature that allows users to receive assets and consumable items against a PO. This release adds form designer support for this feature, so users who have purchased the module can design and modify PO receiving forms in the Console.
The procurement module has been enhanced to work alongside CA APM. Data collected with PO forms can be selectively delivered to both APM and a procurement system like Peoplesoft, Oracle Financials, or SAP.
RFID scanning support added. Using the Motorola MC9090-G, you can scan RFID tags into a bulk form. (This is currently Ami-Mellon dev branch and is not slated to be included in GA)
License information is now stored in the database. The license key is still sent by AMI as a file, but once uploaded into AssetTrack, it is stored in the database.
On the server Settings page, there are new settings in the CA Service Management tab for specifying what extended field to use for population of Product Part Control Number during import.
Overage and Underage Validator can be added to the data policy of a Procurement form.
Overage and Underage Validator queries custom external data source or AssetTrack (if custom data source is not specified in the data policy settings ) for the number expected with the PO line item.
New handler setting for CA handlers (Service Desk, APM 11.3 and 12.6) to allow user to specify if the new asset validator should use the external repository or the AT repository for validation.
On the server Settings page, there are new settings in the CA Service Management tab for setting for APM 11.3 / 12.6 and Service Desk to allow import of only managed assets, only unmanaged assets, or both.
On the server Settings page, there are new settings in the CA Service Management tab for setting for APM 11.3 / 12.6 and Service Desk to indicate how to set the managed flag for publishing when the import setting is set to import both managed and unmanaged assets.
XslHandler XML data was not providing values for Vendor.Tag nor the entire Stockroom node.
Upload Forms are a new licensed feature of AssetTrack. Using this feature, you can use the form designer to design a file format of a spreadsheet. That spreadsheet can then be filled in with data and uploaded into the queue, where it will be subject to all of the queue's data validation checks before being published to the configured destination. This feature is useful for data collection using methods other than using AssetTrack forms.
Problems encountered during scanning on the mobile device are now logged to a file that can be shared with AMI Support for troubleshooting.
The AssetTrack installer now requires .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 to be present on the installing machine to be able to run the database portion of the installation.
Fixed issues when importing data from Oracle-backed APM installations.
Fixed an issue where the APM 11.x handler would fail if any non-key fields were configured as required in APM.
In AssetTrack Mobile, you can now schedule a sync to run at a specific time of day. For example, if you set a sync to run at 4:00am, even long sync plans would be completed by the time you arrived at work at 6:00am.
In the AssetTrack installer, when setting AssetTrack for Windows Security, you can now specify the Windows login ID of the initial admin user that you want created. Previously, it was assumed to be the login ID of the person running the installer, which wasn't always desired.
Bulk forms in AssetTrack Mobile had problems when more than about 200 items were scanned. This problem has been resolved and you can now scan up to 2000 items before the work is automatically saved and the user is directed to start a new batch.
In the queue, using the Compare Record feature would throw an error if the record being compared had a Cost Center specified.
In AssetTrack Mobile, running the "Download Configuration" sync plan could lead to Mobile not reading the most recent information from AssetTrack Server.
CA Service Desk 12.6 is now a supported repository product.
In the queue, you've always been able to sort on (multiple) columns and move columns around, but your changes to sorting and column position would be forgotten when you exited the queue. Your changes to sorting and column position are now remembered for all subsequent sessions.
When upgrading AssetTrack, the installer upgrades AssetTrack's SQL Server database automatically. This applies when upgrading from all releases after 3.1.49.0.
For customers wanting to publish data to text files, we now have a new feature that will allow you to specify an XSLT file to customize the format of the output file.
On mobile bulk forms, the grid section on the lower half of the form would often have column widths that would hide longer values. You can now double-tap on a column header to expand the width of that column to show the longest value in that column.
For customers using CA repository products, you can now set the "Inactive" field of an asset.
When publishing to CA APM 12.6, the publishing process can now resolve shell assets. These are assets that have a PO number and a model but do not yet have a unique identifier like serial number or asset tag.
You can now publish HostName and AssetName to CA APM 12.6.
When publishing to APM 12.6, we've improved the ability to resolve the correct asset in APM.
In the queue, checking out a row would reset the scroll position to the very top. It now maintains the scroll position.
On the mobile device, it was possible to get into a state were multiple instances of AssetTrack could start and cause anomalous behavior.
In Windows Mobile 6.5, the View Collected Data form did not have an OK button to dismiss the form.
In the queue, using the "Compare records" feature from the right-click menu would throw an error under some conditions.
When using XSL files to publish to text files, Organization, Vendor and CostCenter data were not being correctly written to the output file.
When publishing to CA Service Desk, assets that were associated with a classes that did not have a family would fail publishing.
IIS6, added extension mapping for SDF and CAB files for mobile downloads to enable mobile to download those file types from the AssetTrack Server.
The Motorola ES400 is now a supported mobile device.
CA APM 12.6 is now a supported repository product.
Mobile device activity can be centrally monitored. Administrators can now monitor sync plan executions, sync times, upgrades, and uploads.
HostName and AssetName fields have been added and can be published to all repository products except CA APM 12.6.
When publishing data to CA Service Desk, you can now associate an asset with an organization/department.
When publishing data to CA Service Desk, location fields (e.g. CAFloorLocation, CARoomLocation) can now be published.
You can now specify the lookup priority for an asset (i.e. look up by asset tag, serial number, etc in the desired order).
The Stockroom field can now be entered using a scanning shortcut.
The queue would incorrectly indicate it was busy after loading a queue that had more than 50 items.
When importing from Service Desk, the asset filters (on the CA Service Management tab of the Settings page) were being ignored.
Increased the security of sync plans.
In the web app, the search button was not working in IE9.
Addressed issues with Windows Security when using Windows Server 2008 R2.
All AssetTrack components (database, mobile, server, and integrations) must be upgraded.
The mobile upgrade will include an upgrade to .NET Compact Framework 3.5. This will add some additional steps to the mobile upgrade, and customers with large, geographically distributed mobile fleets should consult with AMI Support prior to upgrading.
Depending on the OS version of the AssetTrack Server host machine, you may need to install Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 Service Pack 2 on the server.
If you'd like information about older releases, please contact AMI Support. |
