Operating Systems No Longer Supported

As of January 14, 2020, Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 have reached end-of-life. Microsoft no longer supports these OSes. As such, OSSI no longer supports these operating systems. While our software will continue to install and upgrade on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, we will not provide technical support for these systems for versions beyond Intelli-Site v4.0.45.12.  All customers and integrators are strongly encouraged to migrate to Windows 10 or Windows 2016. 

Overview

This article contains the release notes for Intelli-Site v4.1.3.13.  The following sections describe the release in detail and provide late-breaking or other information that supplements the main documentation.

This is a maintenance release that improves quality, reliability, and performance.  All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release. 

Upgrade Requirements

Because the database has been redesigned, the installer will only upgrade version 4.0.45.12 or later. Minor modifications to the database had been implemented before version 4.0.45.12. Those modifications must be applied to the existing database for the software upgrade to properly upgrade the database. 

The process is:

  1. Upgrade to version 4.0.45.12
  2. Open the Configuration Utility and start the Engine. The Engine performs the necessary modifications not the installer. If there are multiple projects, each project must be started.
  3. Stop the Engine and close the Configuration Utility.
  4. Upgrade to the current version.
  5. Open the Configuration Utility and start the Engine. As stated in step 2, the Engine performs the necessary database upgrade not the installer. If there are multiple projects, each project must be started as well.

New Features

The following software features were added:

  • Desktop Client: 
    • Ability to search by Activate and Deactivate dates.
    • Much of the data filtering has been offloaded to the database.
    • Ability to replicate the rotate angle to every state of a screen object.
    • Ability to add a Harding DXL panel to a MODBUS driver.

The following Panels were added or upgraded:

  • NEW! OTIS Elevator

Resolved Issues

The following issues affecting all products have been resolved:

  • Configuration Utility
    • Note: Do not start the Client Manager unless you absolutely need it. Only start it when redundant Engines are required and licensed. The Client Manager counts as a client in the license.
      This isn't new. It just bears repeating.
  • Desktop Client
    • Pulsing a point or a timer with a duration of zero causes an exception.
    • When forcing routing level, previously cleared alarms re-appear in the alarm queue.
    • Assigning access to a card with the same reader/time zone combination twice exceeds the limits of the MAC panel.
    • Using textures on a screen object causes an exception in the desktop client log.
  • Engine Service
    • Redundancy: an exception was being logged when the Engine Service was incorrectly trying to retrieve details of folders.
    • Engine Service is not updating the acknowledged flag in it alarm queue and in turn automation objects do not fire on acknowledged events.
    • Clear only on normal alarms are removed from Engine Service alarm queue without being normal if acknowledge required is also true.
