This document contains important information about the Wonderware Operations Integration - Supervisory OI Core G-2.2 Series. Carefully review this document for known issues in this version and for changes, if any, to the OI Server Manager documentation.
This release of the OI Core is an upgrade for consumption with Windows System Platform 2017 Update 2 release.

Auto-Build Support Extended for SIDirect OI Server
The Operations Integration Supervisory Server Manager supports the Auto-Build functionality for the SIDirect OI Server G-2.2 (Version 5.0). This facilitates a very simple workflow that automatically creates the structure of templates, instances, and connectivity objects in System Platform either directly from a PLC (Online Mode) or indirectly from a PLC Program file (Offline Mode).
For the latest product support information and specific Auto-Build requirements, refer to the Technology Matrix.
Operations Integration (OI) Servers will always be compatible with the latest release of Wonderware System Platform.
For a list of supported operating systems for OI Servers, refer to the Wonderware Compatibility Matrix, available at the Schneider Electric Global Customer Support website:

To run an OI Server, the following hardware configurations are the minimum recommended:
Note: For every additional 5 connections (Up to 10,000 I/O @ 1000 msecs each), add 1 GB RAM and 1 Cores.
Installation Checklist
The Wonderware Operations Integration Core (OI Core) must be installed prior to the installation of the OI Server.
Before installing the OI Server, please ensure the following:
Installation Procedure
Download the OI Server from the Schneider Electric Software Global Customer Support website:
https://softwaresupportsp.schneider-electric.com/Pages/NewProductHub.aspx
To install the OI Server, double-click Setup.msi. When setup is complete, the message "Setup was successful" is displayed.
Wonderware Operations Integration - Supervisory Server Manager supports silent (command line) installation. The prerequisite products that are installed during the silent installation includes:
Before initiating the silent installation of OI Core, it is strongly recommended that you stop all the DAServers and OI Servers.
Silent Installation Syntax:
The basic syntax of the silent installation command consists of the full path to the Silent_Install_Setup.bat file (typically the DVD drive designation on your local computer), and the command line switch.
<DVD>: CD-OIEngine>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /<argument>
The usage instructions can be retrieved by the following command line. It returns the supported operations - install and uninstall.
<DVD>: CD-OIEngine>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /?
To install/uninstall the OI Core
Installation: C: CD-OIEngine>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /install
Uninstallation: C: CD-OIEngine>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /uninstall
Note: The silent installation process installs the OI Core along with the prerequisite products. However, the uninstallation process uninstalls only the OI Core and the dependent components. All the prerequisites and the independent components should be uninstalled manually.
The following issues are resolved in this release.
CR Number |
Description |
L00147813 |
SR 19714564: Unable to clone an OI Server instance installed on a machine hosting the System Platform 2012 R2. The following error message was displayed "Multi-Instance configuration is only supported with a professional level". The certificate icon was missing when the default instance of an OI Server was started. |
L00148327 |
SR 103149940: The Activate Server/Deactivate Server shortcut toggle icon is removed from the SMC toolbar. This resolves the startup configuration issues with the OI Server. To activate/deactivate the server, right-click the OI Server node, and select the appropriate option from the menu. |
L00148550 |
SR 37115030: The values poked to an advised item bounced. |
The following table lists known issues at the time of release.
Accessing web help |
While accessing the web-help from a node hierarchy/ Auto-Build, the browser prompts to run the ActiveX controls. Workaround: As a workaround, click Allow Blocked Content to view the contents of the help page. |
Legacy DAServer and OI Server Coexistence |
In some scenarios, legacy DAServer and pre-OI Core 2.1 Series OI Servers might have connectivity issues when installed with post-OI Core 2.1 OI Servers. Scenario 1: Upgrading to OI Core G-2.1 in an environment with legacy DAServers or pre-OI Core 2.1 Series OI Servers installed is not an issue and requires no additional installation or configuration steps. Scenario 2: Installing a legacy DAServer or pre-Core G-2.1 Series OI Server after installing OI Core G-2.1 can result in connectivity issues. These servers require minor configuration changes. Workaround: Run the Change Network Account utility after the new drivers (DAServers or OI Servers) are installed. |
Coexistence with System Platform versions between 2012 R2 and 2014 R2 (Any version pre-dating System Platform 2017) |
If System Platform is installed in the same node AFTER the OI Core 2.1 is installed, Application Server may not work properly. Workaround: Run the Change Network Account utility after the System Platform installation. |
Centralized (Activation-Based) Licensing - Failed to release the acquired licenses |
In some scenarios, closing the SMC failed to release the acquired activation-based license back to the license server. Scenario: Consider an OI Server (such as multi-instance) is configured and set to a valid License Server node. Performing a cloning operation will acquire a license. However, upon exiting the SMC, the license is not released back to the License Server, even if the OI Server is not activated. Workaround: Activate and then deactivate the OI Server to release the license back to License Server. Open SMC and ensure that the acquired activation-based license is not shown as "In Use". |
L00147076 |
Uninstalling OI Core 2.1 on a pre-Wonderware System Platform 2017 (WSP 2017) node can cause the Change Network Account Utility to cease functioning. Workaround: Reinstall OI Core 2.1. |
