AVEVA™ Application Server 2023 R2 ReadMe

About this Readme

This document contains important information about AVEVA Application Server and AVEVA Operations Management Interface (OMI) 2023 R2 Patch 01. The Readme file for Application Server 2023 R2 is included below, following the Patch 01 Known Issues.

Applying Application Server and AVEVA OMI 2023 R2 Patch 01

Apply this patch only to nodes running Application Server 2023 R2 (version 23.1.000). You can check the version number of Application Server in the Control Panel by selecting Programs and Features. Applying this patch changes the Application Server version to 23.1.001.

Important!

This patch must be installed on all Application Server nodes. On nodes where both Application Server and InTouch are installed, you must install Application Server 2023 R2 Patch 01 and InTouch 2023 R2 Patch 01 in order for them to coexist.

This patch can only be applied to Application Server 2023 R2. It cannot be applied to any other version.

Before installing the patch, make sure you have created known good backups of all installed Galaxies. To back up your Galaxy:

  1. Open the Operations Control Management Console (OCMC).
  2. Expand Galaxy Database Manager and select the Galaxy.
  3. On the Action menu, click Backup. Follow the prompts to complete the backup operation for each Galaxy.

If the System Platform IDE connects to the Galaxy Repository on another computer, apply Patch 01 to both nodes. A remote connection between the IDE and the Galaxy Repository fails if the nodes are at different versions of Application Server.

As a general workflow, patch the Galaxy Repository (GR) node first, followed by the run-time nodes.

For complete installation instructions for the patch, please see the System Platform Patch Installation Guide.

Improvements to the OMI web client

When it was first released as part of System Platform 2023 R2, the OMI web client had several areas where its functionality did not match that of the OMI desktop viewing client. While some of those areas remain, the following parity issues have been resolved in this patch release:

IMS 3018396

 

960341870

In some cases, after failover from the primary server to the backup server, some shelved alarms did not show in the shelved alarm list. The status of these alarms was still "shelved," they just did not appear when listing shelved alarms.

IMS 3023716

 

960375402

In a Multi-Galaxy configuration, the warning message Asb.Configuration SystemAuthenticationService.GetServiceBusPlatformConfiguration : Error occurred while communicating with database... was logged continuously on the GR node. This happened because the passphrase solution could not be found.

IMS 3039913

 

960380498

When System Platform was installed in a non-default location, such as on the D: drive, deploying WinPlatforms caused errors and warnings in the log and the platforms were not available in the OCMC Platform Manager.

IMS 3264570

 

960404338

If the input source and output destination for an attribute associated with an object wizard were different, the output destination was set to --- if a change was made to the object template. This occurred even if the attribute was created in the object instance and did not exist in the template.

IMS 3270224

 

960405891

Importing a package file containing a graphic with multiple client controls which used the same dependent DLLs failed.

IMS 3279907

 

960407298

There was a small memory leak in the module aaGlobalDataCacheMonitorSrv. Eventually, this caused the following warning to be written to the log repeatedly: Warning GlobalDataDistributionClientRuntime Synchronizing local data cache with global data repository has failed for 20 consecutive times. As the memory leak was very small, it could take several months before this warning appeared.

IMS 3281737

IMS 3324307

 

960417221

Checking in changes to a template and propagating the changes to its children could take hours and then fail, even though the IDE showed that it had completed successfully. When this occurred, the template remained checked out and error messages were written to the logger, starting with something like: Error WWCdi Error 80040E14: Description 'Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#trimatt__38174EC39114E2BF'.

If you performed these steps:

  1. Created a layout and exported it to a package (.aaPKG) file.
  2. Imported the package file to a galaxy that used a different regional setting--for example, if the original GR node was set to Dutch(Belgium) and the new GR node was set to English.
  3. Tried to open the layout in the IDE.

    The layout would not open and you would see a message similar to this in the log: System: 221; 0; 0; 0 is not a valid value for Int32.

Known issues in 2023 R2 Patch 01

This section describes known issues that remain in Application Server and AVEVA OMI 2023 R2 Patch 01.

Issue Number

Description

IMS 2918856

Note: This is an update to information found in the System Platform 2023R2 Readme file.

If the Trend Pen graphic element and the HistoricalTrendApp OMI ViewApp cannot retrieve historical data in the OMI web client, the reason may be that the Historian Server node name and port are not set in the AppSettings.json file on the node hosting the WebViewEngine. Unless the Historian Server is on the same node as the WebViewEngine, you must define the Historian Server system name and port number in AppSettings.json. Follow the procedure below.

IMPORTANT: You must follow these steps even if you already did so before installing the patch. Because we have added support for multiple Historian Servers to the web client, the format of the AppSettings.json file is changed in Patch 01. An AppSettings.json file from the 2023R2 release will not work with 2023R2 Patch 01.

For your reference, the patch installation makes a copy of the existing AppSettings.json file with a .bak extension. Do not just rename or copy this file for use with Patch 01. Because of the file format change, it will not work.

  1. On the node hosting the WebViewEngine, make a copy of the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA\Services\proxyserver\appsettings.json for safekeeping. Then, open the original file in a text editor.
  2. Find this section in the file:

     

    //"history-data-{serverName}": {

    //  "clusterId": "history-data-{serverName}",

    //  "CorsPolicy": "customPolicy",

    //  "Match": {

    //    "Path": "/history-data/{serverName}/{**catch-all}"

    //  },

    //  "Transforms": [

    //    {

    //      "PathRemovePrefix": "/history-data/{serverName}"

    //    }

    //  ]

    //},

    //"history-data-{serverName}": {

    //  "HttpClient": {

    //    "DangerousAcceptAnyServerCertificate": "true"

    //  },

    //  "HttpRequest": {

    //    "Version": "1.1",

    //    "VersionPolicy": "RequestVersionExact"

    //  },

    //  "Destinations": {

    //    "destination1": {

    //      "Address": "[https://https://{serverName}:32573/"

    //    }

    //  },

    //  "UseDefaultCredentials": "true"

    //},

  3. Make two changes to this section:
    1. Uncomment the section by removing the // at the beginning of each line.
    2. Change each instance of {servername} to the server name of the Historian Server node. There are six, shown in bold in the sample above.
  4. If you want to define more than one Historian Server so that users can choose the one they want at runtime, copy this section and change the server name to the one for the additional Historian. Repeat this as needed.
  5. Save your changes and close the file.

Note: This is only one possible cause of failure for the HistoricalTrendApp and the Trend Pen element in the OMI web client. It may also be due to a security certificate issue. See the description of IMS 2918856 in the "AVEVA OMI Issues" section of the System Platform 2023 R2 Readme file for more information and the workaround steps for the security certificate issue.

IMS 3057574

Changes made to an element style (for example, adding an animation or changing the line color) are not reflected when an OMI ViewApp is opened with the web client, even if the ViewApp is redeployed, The changes do appear in the desktop client.

Workaround: Undeploy and redeploy the OMI VIewApp.

Known Issues

This section describes known issues that remain in Application Server 2023 R2 and in AVEVA OMI 2023 R2.

Issue Number

Description

Security mismatch

Some connected experience configuration scenarios can result in unexpected behavior.

Scenario 1: Ability to access security tabs when an unsupported authentication mode has been configured.

If a galaxy using Galaxy security has been created without connected experience, and then connected experience is configured, if you:

  • Connect to the galaxy and change the authentication mode to Authentication Providers.
  • Add a new group and cancel the changes.
    You will be able to access the security tabs in an unsupported authentication mode.

Scenario 2: Cancelling read-only message box in the security editor closes the IDE.

If a galaxy using Galaxy security has been created without connected experience, then the IDE is closed, and then you configure connected experience and login to the IDE with an AVEVA Connect user, when you:

  • Connect to the galaxy and click Yes when the dialog appears.
  • Launch a second instance of the IDE and connect to the same galaxy.
  • Navigate to the security page in the second IDE. A dialog opens and asks if you want to open in read-only mode.
  • Click No.
    The IDE closes (the IDE should not close in this scenario).

Scenario 3: The Authentication Providers security mode can be enabled without configuring any roles.

If you connect to a galaxy and select Authentication Provider security, and then navigate to the Roles tab, but:

  • You do not add any roles.
  • Click Save.
    The IDE will shut down. Note that changes should not be allowed in this scenario since no role is configured and there is no Administrator login support under Operations Control mode.

IMS 2897808

The SignedAlarmAck feature is not currently supported for Application Server and AVEVA OMI when AVEVA Operations Control connected experience is configured. Attempting to sign an alarm acknowledgement fails, and an error message is generated that warns of incorrect user credentials.

IMS 1869732

If the domain controller goes down and at the same time, an IDE user attempts to perform a change user operation, there is a slight possibility that Windows will display a crash dialog for the IDE. Note: This is a very rare scenario.

Workaround: Restart the IDE to proceed.

IMS 1861501

Endpoints on remote nodes, including redundant SSO nodes, are not discovered when the Global Discovery Server is not available. As a result, logging in to a Galaxy using Azure AD credentials when the security mode is Authentication Provider is not successful.

Workaround: For discovery of any endpoints that are not on the local node, then a GDS (global discovery) server MUST be available for discovery. You can configure a secondary GDS to avoid non-discovery, which can occur when the redundant SSO is on a different node. You can configure secondary discovery servers in the System Platform IDE. See the Application Server help for instructions on configuring multi-galaxy communication. You can also configure a secondary discovery server through the PCS Configuration utility.

  1. Open the PCS Services Configuration utility
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA\Services\aaServiceConfiguration.exe
  2. Open the Configure link (near the top of the utility window), the select Discovery Service from the menu.
  3. Enter a secondary node name for both the Local and Cross solution.

    "Local solution" is equivalent to Local Galaxy server in the System Platform IDE, and "Cross solution" is equivalent to Multi-Galaxy server.

IMS 1846869

When System Platform is configured with a standalone System Management Server (SMS) and Authentication Provider, other nodes pointing to the SMS node may not be able to reach the Authentication Provider on the SMS node for user authentication.

Workaround: Use one of the recommended SMS system configurations described in the System Platform Installation Guide. Refer to the section "Recommended SMS Architecture Utilizing an Authentication Provider."

IMS 1842703

If, after configuring a node to connect to an existing System Management Server, you choose to make the node a redundant SSO server, the Configurator does not indicate that the Authentication Provider configuration parameters must be configured (green checkmark is still shown and the Configure button is grayed out).

Workaround: Select the Authentication Provider configuration option and configure the parameters as described in the System Platform Installation Guide.

CR L00138837

AppEngine can crash due to calls made to API dlls even when using try/catch. This issue is specific to Nullable data types. The recommendation is to use wrapped API DLLs in Application Server scripting.

TFS 1404918

If a network failure occurs on the active engine node and Warm Redundancy is enabled, the last value is shown as NULL for slow-changing Tags.

Workaround: Perform a SQL Insert or CSV Insert for the tag in question on the Historian side. This will restore the value in the Historian trend.
