Supported System Platform Versions for Product Upgrade
This patch can only be applied to System Platform 2023 or an earlier patch release of System Platform 2023. When you install this patch, in addition to new patches in 2023 Patch 04, it installs all patches in earlier patch versions of System Platform 2023, as needed.
Important! System Platform does not support mixed Windows workgroup/domain environments. As stated in the System Platform 2023 Installation Guide, although workgroups are supported, domain-based networking is recommended. However, you cannot use workgroup nodes within a domain environment.
Readme Files for Other Products in this Release
The extracted patch files include a ReadMe directory with the Readme files for each individual component product. To access the product Readme files, navigate to the applicable folder under the ReadMe directory. Review the known and resolved issues contained in each file as applicable.
To use AVEVA Recipe Management 2023 in Integrated mode with System Platform 2023 P04, you must install a hotfix to Recipe Management after installing Patch 04. If you do not install this hotfix, Recipe Management runtime recipe execution and formula download will not work.
You need to install the hotfix on the System Platform Galaxy Repository node and the Recipe Management server node.
The hotfix is included with the 2023 Patch 04 release, in the Recipe Management HotFix\IMS3057670_Install.zip file. That folder also contains a Readme file for the hotfix, which explains how to install it.
System Platform 2023 Patch 04 includes updates to the Alarm Client Control and the OMI AlarmApp.
In the Alarm Client Control, you can now see the Alarm Comment and the Ack Message separately, even after acknowledging the alarm. The Alarm Comment will not be replaced by the Ack Message. Under the Column details tab of the Edit Animations window, AlarmMessage and AckMessage checkboxes are added. You can select these checkboxes to view the alarm message and/or acknowledgement message at runtime.
A similar change was made to the OMI AlarmApp. You can now choose to display the Alarm Message, the Ack Message, or both. They are not shown by default. To add their columns to the display, you must select them on the Column Details pane of the Configuration dialog box for the AlarmApp.
AVEVA strongly recommends that you do not upgrade to System Platform 2023 R2 from 2023 P04 until after System Platform 2023 R2 P01 is available. You should install the latest available 2023 R2 patch immediately after upgrading to 2023 R2. If you do not patch System Platform 2023 R2 after the upgrade, some of the fixes included in 2023 P04 may be undone.
See the product-specific Readme files (in the ReadMe directory, as described above) for issues resolved in this patch release. The table below shows issues resolved in components that are shared between two or more products.

The Web Client now supports web server redundancy. That is, in case of a fail-over of a web server, the requests are sent to another redundant web server.
A reverse proxy is a server that is positioned in front of one or more web servers, intercepting requests from clients. If any of these web servers are down or in case of the fail-over of one of these web servers, then the reverse proxy will send the requests from clients to the other web server. There are many providers of reverse proxy solutions. Refer to the relevant reverse proxy solution documentation for the information on redundancy support and instructions on setting up the reverse proxy solution in your infrastructure.

Add support for SVG graphics with InTouch HMI |
The SVG graphic support, described in Support for Import of SVG as an Industrial Graphic, applies to graphics used in InTouch HMI applications only. In this patch release, you cannot use SVG graphics in an OMI ViewApp.
Supported System Platform Versions for Product Upgrade
This patch can be applied to System Platform 2023 only.
Important! System Platform does not support mixed Windows workgroup/domain environments. As stated in the System Platform 2023 Installation Guide, although workgroups are supported, domain-based networking is recommended. However, you cannot use workgroup nodes within a domain environment.
Readme Files for Other Products in this Release
The extracted patch files include a Readme directory with the Readme files for each individual component product. To access the product Readme files, navigate to the applicable folder under the Readme directory. Review the known and resolved issues contained in each file as applicable.
With this release, Industrial Graphic Editor supports import of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) as Industrial Graphics. You can import an SVG into the Graphic Editor and the graphic elements automatically get converted to an Industrial Graphic, which can include many primitives. A list of supported SVG elements can be found at SVG Github.
To import an SVG and insert as an Industrial Graphic:
Note: You can import multiple SVG files at once.
OR
You can drag and drop multiple SVG files at once.
CAUTION: You can drag and drop SVG files only if User Account Control (UAC) is turned off. Before turning off UAC, be sure to check your organization's security policy, as turning it off could cause a security issue. If you try to drag and drop an SVG file to the canvas with UAC turned on, a forbidden icon is displayed.
Note:
- If there are any unsupported characters in the name of the SVG or primitive, it will be converted to “_”.
- The SVG element name is used to name the corresponding primitive. If a SVG element does not have a name, then Industrial Graphic primitive type is used to name the primitive. For example, if the SVG group name is "Header", the primitive name in Graphic Editor after import will also be Header. If the SVG group has no name, the same will be named as <primitive type>_<number>, that is group_01.
- Only three colors are supported in gradients. If the SVG file has more than three colors for primitive, the first, last, and middle colors are considered. The middle color is calculated by the formula middle color = (int)((colors.Length) / 2). That is, if there are four colors, then it will consider the second color as middle color.
Limitations of SVG Support at the time of this release
The following features are not supported at the time of this release:

System Platform 2023 includes the following features, as well as miscellaneous bug and security fixes.
Refreshed user interface
The design environments for Application Server, AVEVA OMI, and InTouch HMI now have a new look and improved user interface. Menus and icons have been redesigned for a better user experience. Some of the key highlights include new backstages and menu organization. This updated interface provides more efficient workflows and a common look and feel across AVEVA’s operations control software.
Integrated Web Help System
System Platform 2023 now includes an integrated Web Help system that uses your default browser to display both general and contextual help.
System Platform Enterprise 2023
System Platform Enterprise is intended for customers who subscribe to AVEVA Operations Control Enterprise. It features capabilities that are specific to the implementation of Unified Operation Centers (UOC). Exclusive features of System Platform Enterprise include:
System Platform Enterprise does NOT include:
Application Server 2023 includes a number of new features, hot fixes, and provides support for the latest versions of Microsoft products. Refer to the GCS Technology Matrix for the list of supported Microsoft products.
New look for Application Server
The System Platform IDE, the design environment for Application Server, now has a new look and improved user interface. Menus and icons have been redesigned for a better user experience. Some of the key highlights of the System Platform IDE user interface include a new backstage, menu items, and groups. All special operations that you need to access frequently are now in the backstage, on the Galaxy menu. Other commands have been regrouped in different menu items based on their functionality and ease of accessibility.
User authentication and single sign-on via Azure Active Directory
Azure Active Directory (AD) can be used for identity authentication and single sign-on. After setting Galaxy security to use an external identity provider, Azure AD can be used to authenticate users. System Platform users can then use their Microsoft-managed identities to log in to the System Platform IDE, Operations Control Management Console, AVEVA OMI ViewApps, and to perform secured and verified writes.
Integrated web help system
Help for Application Server is now available as web help, and can be viewed and searched in your default browser. Help for other System Platform products has also been migrated to web help, allowing you to more easily view and search across all System Platform products.
Alarm translation enhancements
You can now localize alarm and event message, and alarm groups.
Preview a ViewApp
System Platform includes the capability for developers to preview an OMI ViewApp from the ViewApp editor without deploying any associated assets. After selecting the Preview Web button, the ViewApp appears in the Web Client.
Object wizard performance
The time needed to propagate changes has been significantly improved, thus greatly increasing performance during development.
Symbol wizard integration
Symbol Wizard support has been improved in web graphics that appear in OMI web ViewApps. In the case of SAL symbols, Wizard Options are supported to provide different configurations of the same symbol.
Display a web ViewApp on a mobile device
The AVEVA Mobile Operations application has been updated to show OMI web ViewApps on a mobile device.
Enhanced management of cloud graphics
AVEVA Connect users are prevented from accessing or overwriting any cloud graphics that were created with a higher version of the Graphic Editor than their local editor. Since multiple AVEVA products use the Industrial Graphic Editor, this allows organizations to use these different products, which may incorporate different versions of the editor, while avoiding any issues that may result from attempting to edit a graphic with new extensions that do not exist in their local version of the editor.
Embed web widgets within OMI Industrial Graphics
Place one or more web widgets directly in an Industrial Graphic for use in the OMI desktop as well as the OMI web client.
GRAccess as an API
The GRAccess Toolkit is now delivered as an API with System Platform to allow users to programmatically interact with Application Server.
Security identity event logging
Log-on and log-off events, both successful and unsuccessful, are tracked for security and audit purposes.
Updates for historical playback capability
Source non-historized values during historical playback to avoid missing information. These values can optionally be flagged to make the viewer aware of the alternative data source.
New BigString data type
The BigString data type supports a virtually unlimited string size to allow users to store and transmit huge strings.
Dynamic images in Industrial graphics
A new property, ImageURI, has been added to Industrial Graphics. This allows the user to modify the property at runtime to dynamically change the image.
AVEVA Flex subscription enhancements
Multiple Flex single engine licenses can now by assigned to a single platform.
Workspace feature for the AVEVA Operations Management Interface Web Client
Use the Workspace feature to create customizable dashboards for casual users across the enterprise. Workspace displays all graphics available in the Workspaces toolset of Graphic Toolbox in the selected application. This allows viewing an Industrial Graphic with operations data by binding attributes from AVEVA System Platform Enterprise. You can create, modify, and save your dashboards, and even share them with others.
To access Workspace, you must:
Note:
- The AVEVA Historian search and elastic search features are installed to support the Workspace feature for the OMI Web Client. Workspace is available if you are using Flex licensing. Therefore, after installation, you may see AVEVA Historian listed as a Windows program, even if you did not install the Historian. Do not uninstall Historian. You can use the Modify workflow to restore the Historian search and elastic search features if you inadvertently uninstalled Historian.
- In this initial release of Workspace, searching for Application Server attributes is not supported when using Workspace on a remote node. Searching for Application Server attributes is only supported on the GR or Galaxy Repository node. This feature will be supported in future releases.
For more information, see Widgets, Apps, and Controls in the AVEVA Help.
Cybersecurity enhancements
Application Server and AVEVA OMI incorporate ongoing cybersecurity enhancements and hardening.
Extensions
InTouch HMI 2023 (Version 23.0.000) includes a number of new features, hot fixes, and provides support for the latest versions of Microsoft products. Refer to the GCS Technology Matrix for the list of supported Microsoft products.
New Look of InTouch HMI
InTouch HMI 2023 now has a new look. The product and icons have been redesigned for a simpler and enhanced user experience. The new user interface complies with the fluid design and adheres with the AVEVA Design System. Some of the key highlights of the new InTouch HMI 2023 user interface are:

Support for Momentary Touch
The Momentary Contact action is now available for the Pushbutton Boolean animation, allowing you to configure a time-period to hold the set value.
Option to Reset Industrial Graphic Option Cached Values
You can now choose to reset the Industrial Graphic cached values and windows properties when the window is closed and reopened.
Improved Association of Tag Reference with Graphic Element text
There is an improved association of the the tag reference with the text displayed for the Graphic Element.
Enhanced Language Switching at Runtime
The InTouch HMI application and the Alarm Client Control supports runtime language switching of alarm group names, and event and status bar messages.
Secure SuiteLink Configuration
As of System Platform 2023, the SuiteLink connection is by default set to secure with TLS encryption. If you want to enable the fallback mode to accept the unsecure connection, you have to make the configuration changes in the System Management Server. You can verify the mode of the SuiteLink connection, whether secure or unsecure, by checking the WWSLS component in the Log Viewer.
If unsecure fall back mode is not enabled and secure connection requirements are not met, then SuiteLink connection will fail. For more information, see Configuring Secure Suitelink as a Standard User in the AVEVA InTouch HMI Help.
Workspace Feature for the AVEVA InTouch HMI Web Client
Use the Workspace feature from the InTouch HMI Web Client for operators to create customizable dashboards dynamically. Workspace displays all graphics available in the Workspaces toolset of Graphic Toolbox in the selected application. This allows viewing an Industrial Graphic with runtime data by binding custom properties to tags from InTouch HMI. You can create, modify, and save your dashboards, and even share them with others on the team.
To access Workspace, you must:
Note:
- The AVEVA Historian search and elastic search features are installed to support the Workspace feature for the InTouch HMI Web Client. Workspace is available if you are using Flex licensing. Therefore, after installation, you may see AVEVA Historian listed as a Windows program, even if you did not install the Historian. Do not uninstall Historian. You can use the Modify workflow to restore the Historian search and elastic search features if you inadvertently uninstalled Historian.
- In this initial release of Workspace, searching for Application Server attributes is not supported when using Workspace on a remote node. Searching for Application Server attributes is only supported on the GR or Galaxy Repository node. This feature will be supported in future releases.
For more information, see Workspace in the AVEVA InTouch HMI Help, ITWebBrowser.pdf, and Widgets, Apps, and Controls Help.
Cybersecurity Enhancement
This version of InTouch HMI incorporates several cybersecurity enhancements.
X-Frame-Options Authentication Settings for Web Client
The Web Client now supports the X-Frame-Options HTTP response header. This can be used to indicate whether or not a browser should be allowed to render a page in a <frame>, <iframe>, <embed> or <object>. An XFrameOptions property has been added to the appsettings.json files under InTouchWeb\Server and InTouchWeb\Content.
The value of XFrameOptions in the appsettings.json file is blank by default. To ensure that the Web Client page can only be displayed in a frame on the same origin as the page itself, you must set the values of XFrameOptions as ‘SAMEORIGIN’. The value is not case sensitive. A shared Web Client may not load if the value of XFrameOptions is set to SAMEORIGIN.
If you specify the value of XFrameOptions as blank, the X-Frame-Options response header will not be added.
The AVEVA Historian 2023 release includes these features:
Ad hoc expressions in Historian Client Web and SQL queries
Replication to AVEVA PI and AVEVA Data Hub
Secure web access (HTTPS) that is easy to configure and use
Enhanced Excel add-in
Easily backfill to any replication server up to 10x faster (not just auto-summary)
Remote IDAS
Operations Control Management Console (formerly "System Management Console" or "SMC")
Modernized Interface
Hosted Help Integration
Miscellaneous
The AVEVA Historian Client 2023 release includes these features:
Modernized Interface
Option for auto-scale to always automatically update in Trend
Configurable color for cursor difference color in Trend
Simplified queries and improved alarm queries in Query
Enterprise license support
Hosted Help Integration
Miscellaneous
Revised Standard User Privileges and Options
A Standard User will now have only read rights. However, the Standard User will have an option to get the additional user privileges for a specific time interval by providing the OI Administrator user credentials. For more information on standard user privileges and getting Administrator Privileges, refer to "Accessing OCMC as a Standard User" in the Communication Drivers Pack Help.
Microsoft Edge for Auto-Build
Auto-Build now requires the Microsoft Edge browser.
MQTT
Buffered Data
Communication Drivers Pack supports buffered data up to 10K values/tag.
SuiteLink Fallback
Starting with this release, the fallback mode is set to secure (V3) by default, and the fallback mode to accept unsecure (V2) connections is disabled.
OPC UA Reverse Connect
The OPC UA Reverse Connect feature enables the OPC UA server to initiate a connection with the Gateway Communication Driver. In a secure environment, inbound connections to the OPC UA server are restricted as the server operates behind a firewall. By using Reverse Connect, the firewall restriction is alleviated as the connection is being made from the OPC UA server to the client.
New Security Policy Options
OPC UA now supports two new security policies: Aes128_Sha256_RsaOaep and Aes256_Sha256_RsaPss. Basic125Rsa15 and Basic256 are deprecated and supported only for compatibility reasons. For more information, refer to the Gateway Communication Driver Help.
Improved Server Browsing
You can now browse and select available endpoints of the OPC UA server and its supported security policy.
OpenSSL 1.1.1n Support
Gateway Communication Driver now uses OpenSSL 1.1.1n for MQTT, SuiteLink, and OPCUA for secure communication.

Readme Files for Other Products in this Release
You can upgrade directly to System Platform 2023 from System Platform 2017 or later, provided the prior version was installed on a 64-bit operating system.
You can upgrade directly to System Platform Enterprise 2023 only from System Platform 2020 R2 SP1.
Limitations
All existing, installed products on a node must be upgraded to the same version. Upgrading is defined as installing a newer version of the software when a previous version of the software exists. An upgrade is possible when the system requirements (operating system, SQL Server, .NET Framework) are met. The upgrade process will properly remove or uninstall the previous software version and install the new version. For versions older than the current and previous licensed versions, only the latest service pack or patch versions are tested. For distributed systems, some products must be upgraded in a particular order. For more information, see upgrade information for each product in the System Platform Installation Guide.
You cannot mix System Platform and System Platform Enterprise nodes; all nodes must be either System Platform or System Platform Enterprise.
System Platform Enterprise requires FLEX licenses.
IMPORTANT! Back up any relevant application configuration files or databases before you start an upgrade or migration.
IMPORTANT! System Platform does not support mixed Windows workgroup/domain environments. Although workgroups are supported, domain-based networking is recommended. However, you cannot use workgroup nodes within a domain environment.
Operating System Compatibility
The earliest versions of Windows that support System Platform 2023 and System Platform Enterprise 2023 are:
See the GCS Technology Matrix for complete information about operating systems that you can use with System Platform 2023 products.
You can migrate user-created content (for example, .cab files, .aaPKG files, Historian databases, etc.,) to System Platform 2023, as long as the content was created in one of the following product versions:
Security changes in this release include the removal of certain assemblies from Microsoft and other third-parties that have reached their end-of-life and are now out of support, and may therefore pose a security risk. Some assemblies have been removed completely as they are no longer needed to support System Platform installation. Other assemblies and executables, listed in the following table, are still included with the installation media. You are given the option to install them on an as-needed basis. Note that installation of the following components is NOT recommended. Instead, we recommend that you rebuild any custom objects and applications using currently-supported software versions.
Redistributable Description |
Folder/Assembly Name |
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Objects SP2 (11.2.5058.0) |
SQL2012SP2FeaturePack/SharedManagementObjects.msi |

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable |
VC10SP1/vcredist_x64.exe VC10SP1/vcredist_x86.exe |
You may need to install the out-of-support assemblies if you are using or migrating any of the following objects:
Both the $FieldReference and $Switch templates are discontinued ApplicationObjects, and no longer included with System Platform.
Note: If you do not install the out-of-support assemblies and import objects that have dependencies on them, you may see errors from the aaPim and WWPackageServer components while importing the objects.
The installation process requires that you acknowledge this change in behavior before you can successfully install System Platform. This applies to both GUI-based and command-line (silent) installation. See the following sections of the System Platform Installation Guide (SP_Install_Guide.pdf), located at the root of the DVD for additional information:
Installation Method |

The end-of-life assemblies are included on the installation DVD under the InstallFiles\OutOfSupportRedist folder. If you select the option to install them now, they will be automatically installed during the installation process.
Important! Installation of out-of-support assemblies is NOT recommended.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 or later is required for System Platform 2023 R2. When the System Platform installation process begins, it automatically checks the .NET version and installs the correct version if needed.
The Application Object Toolkit (AOT) is not included in the System Platform 2023 R2 release, but if you use AOT to build objects for Application Server, check that you have installed and configured the developer pack for .NET Framework 4.8 when you create your AOT solution in Visual Studio.
Some Start menu folders and some of the System Platform shortcuts they contain have been renamed. Commonly used applications, such as the Change Network Account utility, Configurator, and Operations Control Management Console, are now located under the AVEVA Start menu folder. These were under the Wonderware Utilities folder prior to System Platform 2020.

For System Platform 2023, the System Platform IDE changes the names of some of the toolsets and graphics included in the Graphics Toolbox. The affected toolsets and graphics are in the path
_Default Content > 3. Graphics > Icon Library
The SE_Branding toolset is now simply Branding, SE_Domain_Pictograms is now Domain_Pictograms, and so on.
The new Icons toolset contains only one graphic named AVEVA_Logo. This graphic is new for System Platform 2023.
Existing galaxies that were created before System Platform 2023 will continue to contain the previous toolset and graphic names; you do not need to change any existing graphics or layouts that use any of these graphics under the SE_* or WW_* name.
New galaxies created after an upgrade to System Platform 2023 will contain only the new graphics.
Except for replacing the old WW_Logo graphics with AVEVA_Logo, this is a name change only. The graphics themselves have not changed.
To access individual product Readme files, insert the System Platform installation DVD and navigate to the applicable folder under the InstallFiles directory. Review the known and resolved issues contained in each Readme file for the component products updated for this release:

Before installing System Platform, download and install the latest Microsoft updates to enhance security and ensure product compatibility. Allow the Windows update process to finish before you start installing System Platform. This recommendation applies to all Windows versions.
Affected Systems
This information is applicable to a small subset of highly secured environments, in which operating systems and supporting networks have been configured to enable TLS 1.2 and where TLS 1.0 and 1.1 have been purposefully disabled. In these rare instances, some additional configuration is required to ensure that System Platform will work as expected.
System Platform 2023 includes various measures to strengthen security, including the ability to leverage TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.2, provided that TLS 1.2 is enabled and configured in the host operating system.
In some cases, you may have to enable TLS 1.2 support by applying Microsoft updates and by making several manual edits to the system registry. The tasks of applying all Microsoft updates and editing the system registry must be completed before you install System Platform 2023. These instructions also apply to any other software products that support TLS 1.2. Follow the instructions listed below.
If you are required to enable TLS 1.2 and disable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1:
The .REG file shown below sets registry keys to their safest values.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319]

For important information about this product release, go to the AVEVA Global Customer Support (GCS) website. Information on the GCS website includes product requirements and compatibility, as well as downloads from previous releases. After you log in, you can filter search results by product name and the release/version.
The AVEVA OMI Software Developer Kit (SDK) provides programmatic access to component APIs and namespaces. Using the methods and properties that these provide, you can build your own custom AVEVA OMI applications. Users can then add these custom apps to their ViewApps, the same way that they can add the AVEVA OMI apps that are included with Application Server.
When you install the System Platform IDE, the AVEVA OMI SDK is automatically installed, including samples and libraries. A link to the AVEVA OMI SDK Web Help is added to the Windows start menu. You can also open the OMI SDK Help via AVEVA Help, accessible from the Windows Start Menu, under AVEVA.
