4 G/Technology 10.1.0 Release Notes

SECTION 1
About this Release

This document describes G/Technology version 10.1.0 through SP1. For the first release, this
document provides a brief overview. For subsequent releases, this document describes the
major new features and significant enhancements. The information in this document is
current as of the product release. The most current version is maintained on the Intergraph
Support Web site (http://support.intergraph.com/).
G/Technology 10.1 is a major release that includes the following new features:
Several new platforms, including Identity and Access Management Services, Common
Raster, and Common Coordinate System.
Improved map fidelity incorporating translucency
Identity management for single sign‐on, honoring LDAP’s standard security definitions
Enterprise and global integration advances, with OGC and EU Inspire focus, to consume
data from WFS and WMS sources
User enhancements that include improvements in navigation, data entry, and output
capabilities and the addition of translucency capabilities
Other enhancements for the benefit of end‐users, developers, and administrators.
Note that G/Technology 10.1 includes functionality introduced in version 9.4.3. If you are
upgrading from version 9.4.3, you may already be taking advantage of some of these benefits.
G/Technology 10.01.0001 is a service pack that includes support for Oracle 11g and Microsoft
Windows 7, as well as many minor improvements.
This document is only an introduction, and does not provide all of the details about the
capabilities. Refer to G/Technology Help for complete information.
Database-Software Version Compatibility

You should upgrade all G/Technology applications (Desktop, NetViewer, NetPlot and
NetExport) together after updating the database. MobileViewer seats can remain on the
previous version, even if the other G/Technology applications are upgraded to 10.1. Those
users remaining on previous 9.3.3 or 9.4.x versions will have to continue to use their existing
subsets, created with 9.3.3 or 9.4.x, until they upgrade. Version 10.1.0 incremental and job
subsets cannot be applied to existing 9.3.3 and 9.4.x subsets, and subsets published with
version 10.1.0 cannot be used with 9.3.3 or 9.4.x software. The version 10.1.0 software will


About this Release
read previously published subsets, so those subsets do not have to be republished with version
10.1.0.
See the Database‐Software Version Compatibility topic in Help for complete information about
database‐software compatibility.
New Platforms
Windows Server 2008, 32‐bit and 64‐bit

About this Release
Product Releases and Version Number Format - SP1

The format of the version numbers has changed.
See the Product Releases and Version Number Format Change topic in Help for more
information.
Support for Oracle 11g ‐ SP1 (1‐4PL3T5)
In Oracle 11g, passwords are case sensitive by default. Connecting with an Oracle 10g Client
forces the password to uppercase. Therefore, a user who has a mixed case or lowercase
Oracle password will not be able to login from a G/Technology product if passwords are case
sensitive in Oracle 11g and the user is running with an Oracle 10g client. To avoid this
problem, the administrator must set the Oracle parameter sec_case_sensitive_logon to FALSE
to allow Oracle 11g to support case‐insensitive passwords.
Oracle Connection Problems
Oracle Database
Setting Operating System Authentication
Oracle 11g Client is supported ‐ SP1 (1‐573PQQ)
Oracle 11g Client is supported in G/Technology 10.01.0001.
When you install Oracle 11g Client, ODP.NET is installed during the installation. When you
install Oracle 10g Client, installing ODP.NET is a separate step. However, when you are
installing Oracle Server, ODP.NET is a check box on the user interface.
See the Installing Oracle Client for G/Technology 10.1.0 topic in Help for more information.
Intergraph Common Platforms

Identity and Access Management Services
The Intergraph Identity and Access Management Services platform allows you to maintain your
user information spanning multiple identities in a centralized security data store (also called
identity store), thereby reducing the number of identity stores, simplifying user administration,
and improving user login workflows.
Intergraph Identity and Access Management Services:


About this Release
Provide automatic login with Windows Authentication credentials.
Provide single sign‐on capability.
Control access to individual applications through users’ application roles.
Support mapping Windows authentication credentials to other database connection
credentials.
Support custom authentication schemes.
Windows NT authentication workflows do not require a user name/password input and might
not require any user input if a configuration is specified.
Database connection mapping is moved from the G3E_LOGINMAPPING table to the Identity
and Access Management Services identity store, and the InstallUserMapping.exe utility is
updated to use the identity store and to migrate existing G3E_LOGINMAPPING data.
The Intergraph Identity and Access Management Services server is installed from the
Intergraph Setup Manager.
See the Identity and Access Management Help for further information.
Intergraph Identity and Access Management Services must be configured for the primary
desktop and viewer G/Technology applications. The Intergraph Identity and Access
Management Services clients are configured with the G/Technology All Applications
Configuration Wizard.
See the following topics for more information:
G/Technology Identity and Access Management Administration
Configuring the Installed Applications
Common Raster
Historically, multiple copies of the raster software were maintained by various product
organizations, which delayed incorporation of fixes and enhancements. In G/Technology
10.1.0, the core raster software is incorporated through merge modules (MSMs) delivered with
G/Technology Setup provided by a centralized team.
See the Supported Raster Formats topic for a list of the formats with specifications.
Common Coordinate System
G/Technology now uses the Common Coordinate System (CCS) in place of the Coordinate
System Services (CSS).
See the Intergraph.CoordSystems Namespace topic in the Help for more information.


About this Release
The coordinate system API is the same as in previous versions of G/Technology. The
enhancements to the CCS capabilities are noted below.
Coordinate Formats
Support is now provided for the Degrees and decimal minutes (“d:m”) coordinate format for
readout and key‐in.

Vertical Datums
It is now possible to reference and transform data between different vertical datums including
ellipsoid‐geoid conversion. Vertical datums can reference the geoid (orthometric height) or
the ellipsoid (geometric height), or they can be undefined. Geoid undulation is handled as a
vertical datum transformation.
Vertical datum information is now carried with the definition of a coordinate system through
the user interface, the programmer interface, and the storage system.
The following vertical datums are supported. The height storage type is orthometric for all
cases, except where noted.
Australian Height Datum 1971
Brazilian Vertical Datum (Imbituba)
Canadian Vertical Reference 1928

vertical datum transformations are supported:
VERTCON (NGS Version 2.10)
NGA Earth Gravity Model (EGM96)
GEOID (NGS hybrid geoid)
USGG (NGS gravimetric geoid)
Coordinate System User Interface

The Projection Space tab now provides Projection Parameters dialog boxes for Japan Plane
Rectangular, Stereographic with Polar Origin, and Stereographic with Non‐Polar Origin.
The Geographic Space tab now provides a drop‐down list for selecting a vertical datum. It
also displays the vertical datum reference Geoid (Orthometric), Ellipsoid (geometric), or
Unspecified.
The Units and Formats tab now supports paper distance measurement.
The Measurement interpretation frame has an additional option for Paper (scaled)
measurement. This new option is available only when the dialog box is displayed with the
new PaperMeasurement property set to TRUE.
The Default units and precision frame has a new Paper Distance unit type.


About this Release
Autodt.ini File
The format of this file is changed to accommodate vertical datums. A new version of this file
is delivered with G/Technology, so the impact is only on users who customize autodt.ini.
These users must consider the extended structure of the file when performing those edits and
reapply their edits after installing the product.
An autodt.ini file using the old format will be used as follows:
In processing autodt.ini, if the software encounters an entry in the old format, that entry and
all following entries will be interpreted as having the old format, which does not include
vertical datum information. All such old‐format entries will be interpreted as though both the
input and output vertical datum definitions are csvdUserDefined (the user‐defined vertical
datum). Most existing data stores (created when the vertical datum definition was not
available in the user interface) should by default use the user‐defined vertical datum, so their
handling when such an old‐format autodt.ini file is in use should be essentially the same as
with prior versions of the software.
The new vertical transformations require autodt.ini entries in the new format, so they will not
be available when an old format autodt.ini is in use. Mixing of new and old formats in
autodt.ini is not supported.
Rendering
The entire rendering system has been replaced with Intergraph’s common rendering platform
in G/Technology 10.1. Display metadata, styles and legend entries, are compatible with
previous versions. Any style metadata that was configured before version 10.1.0 should still
yield the same, or very similar, display results in version 10.1.0. In a few specific cases, a
minor metadata change is required in some data models based on the true type font definition.
See the Point Style Alignment Differences and Text Size Differences topics in Help for more
information.
The Point Size Conversion Utility is provided for the administrator to use after reviewing the
data.
See the Point Size Conversion Utility topic in Help for information.
G/Technology was upgraded to DWGDirect 2.7.3 for both native CAD display and for
ExportToAutoCAD.


About this Release
New Technologies
Translucency
G/Technology 10.1 introduces the translucency capability. You can change the translucency
value of a feature so that you can see any features or background behind it. A translucency
value of 0 means that the feature is opaque, and nothing is visible behind it. A translucency
value of 100 means that the feature is invisible, and everything behind the feature is visible.
Translucency definitions occur in several places in G/Technology:
Individual styles in metadata.
Legend entries in metadata. If this is defined, it overrides the individual styles.
User override by way of the Display Control in map or plot windows.
By way of the map output control for queries and traces.
The translucency override button on the Display Control has two parts:
A drop‐down that lets you pick translucency from a list. This overrides both the normal and
the fill translucency.
Button selection that displays the Translucency dialog box. This dialog box lets you alter
the two different translucencies separately and enter values not available from the
drop‐down list.
In the viewer applications, you can override the translucency values for Display Control entries,
for the redline properties, and for the Analysis Options.

Translucency in Viewer Applications
Configuring Translucency
Support for Web Source Data
Web Source Data is the generic term for data from Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) Web
Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS). WMS/WFS support in G/Technology
provides dynamic raster/vector backdrop maps from external data providers, such as regional
governments. You configure the metadata to expose these additional features in the
G/Technology legend. The user then has the ability to view the data. Utilization in
placement and edit is also viable.


About this Release
Define the connection to the WMS/WFS with the Web Source Connection command.
Generate metadata for the Web Source with the Generate WMS Metadata or Generate
WFS Metadata command.
Desktop/Viewer:
View Web Source data when a legend containing entries for WMS or WFS data is used.
Review WFS feature attributes in Feature Explorer and WMS layer attributes using the
WMS Get Feature Info command in the desktop or in viewer.
See the WMS Get Feature Info Command topics in Help for desktop or viewer for more
information.
In the desktop, during placement and edit commands:
Snap to WFS data.
Use WFS data with Construction Aids.
New Get Feature Info command
A new command, Get Feature Info, was added for WMS data review.

Developer Enhancements
.NET API Enhancements
The G/Technology .NET API has changed in this release. While the API is functionally
equivalent, there is a slight syntax change that you must react to before you can deploy 10.1.
In previous releases, the .NET objects were defined as classes. They are now defined as
interfaces. This technology change allows the product flexibility in enhancing, packaging, and
delivering the automation layer.
If you are still using the VBA customization interfaces, no changes are necessary. However,
the VBA layer is deprecated and will phase out at some point in the future. As such, all new
customization should use the .NET interfaces.
See the Updating .NET API References topic in Help for more details about the necessary
changes.


About this Release
PDF API ‐ SP1
The IGTExportService API has been enhanced to provide methods and properties that perform
the following tasks:
SaveAsPDF is an overloaded method that saves a Map or Plot window’s contents to a PDF
file; you can save to a new file or append to an existing file.
AppendPDF is an overloaded method that either appends an existing PDF file to another
existing PDF file or appends two existing PDF files to create a new PDF file.
PDFLayersEnabled is a property that enables or disables PDF layer output; it applies to
SaveAsPDF methods only.
G/Technology uses software provided from AMYUNI to create and manipulate PDF files.
AMYUNI currently has a defect that prevents you from appending PDF files that contain layers.
Until AMYUNI’s fix is included in a G/Technology release, custom programmers must set the
PDFLayersEnabled property to FALSE before calling the new SaveAsPDF routines if an Append
operation is requested. If the PDFLayersEnabled property value is TRUE and an Append
operation is attempted, G/Technology will crash.

language to install, as required, and only if the resources have been localized. The supported
languages can also be specified in a silent/batch installation.
See the G/Technology Application and Display Names topic in Help for more information.
Localize .NET Strings and User Interface

You can localize or internationalize the G/Technology user interface and strings in .NET
assemblies.
See the Localizing .NET Assemblies topic in Help for more information.

An optional registry entry FileUNCPathCheckTime (in HKLM\Software\
Intergraph\GFramme\02.00\Path) verifies the existence of FileUNCFolder. Generally, when the
machine node name is not available in the network, the application takes a long time to report
the error. Now you can specify this value in milliseconds. The default is 2000 milliseconds.
Point Style Alignment Differences

Beginning in version 10.1, if the fonts that are used as symbols do not meet the guidelines
described in the Creating Symbol Fonts topic, some symbols might align differently than in
previous versions.
Text Size differences

The rendering technique used to calculate font size in G/Technology 10.1 has changed.
Therefore, the labels for features might display at a slightly different size, either smaller or
larger, than before. If the text displays larger, labels can overlap or run into labels or features
where previously they did not.
You can change the size of the text, if necessary, in G3E_TEXTSTYLE.G3E_SIZE.
Database or Metadata
Enhancements that include major database or metadata changes deepen, expand, and enrich
the product. This release includes the following Database or Metadata enhancements:
Support for Web Source Data

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has defined interface specifications for serving
geospatial data over the Internet. G/Technology can act as a client to map servers that provide
data via Web Map Services or Web Feature Services. Web Map Service (WMS) refers to the


protocol by which a map server provides georeferenced map images. Web Feature Service
(WFS) refers to the protocol by which a map server answers more detailed requests for
individual geographical features over the Internet using platform‐independent calls.
WMS/WFS support in G/Technology provides dynamic raster/vector backdrop maps from
external data providers like regional governments. The administrator must provide the initial
configuration:
Define the connection to the WMS/WFS with the Web Source Connection command.
Generate metadata for the Web Source with the Generate WMS Metadata or Generate
WFS Metadata command.
Defining a Web Source Connection
Generating WMS Metadata
Generating WFS Metadata
Legends
Legends configuration was changed to allow for faster swapping out of legend settings (Display
Status, Locate Status, Display Scale Status, and Display Scale Range) when switching between
settings based on the same legend definition. This restructuring requires new and updated
metadata which means that the metadata must be up‐to‐date on the desktop and viewer
clients for the new functionality to work properly. The new metadata tables and their use are
listed below:
G3E_LEGENDSETTINGS ‐ New table that lets you define multiple ways to represent the
same legend. Several columns from the G3E_LEGEND table have been moved to this new
table.
G3E_SETTINGSTABLE (Sample) ‐ A sample table that contains one or more groups of legend
settings information for a single legend. These groups define multiple ways to view the
same legend. G3E_LEGEND.G3E_SETTINGSTABLE contains the actual name of the table.
The following topics pertaining to legends have been updated in Help:

UseActiveZ properties on the IGTApplication object.
Support for Extract to Analysis

G/Technology provides an example formatter for extracting data for analysis based on the
SynerGEE E MiddleLink 3.7 file format, which is a single .csv file. It is delivered in the
GTechnology\Services\MetadataEntries\NetSamples folder if you select the Administrative
Tools feature during setup. You can use the Network Extraction Library and Analysis Data
Extraction Library API to write a custom formatter.
See the Analysis Extraction Utility topic in Help for more information.


SaveAsDGN and SaveAsAutoCAD API

SaveAsDGN and SaveAsAutoCAD API let you expand the functionality of Export to CAD to suit
your requirements. The SaveAsDGN and SaveAsAutoCAD API support only native CAD
formats, compared to the Export To CAD command. The following are the supported native
formats:
AutoCAD DWG
AutoCAD ASCII DXF
AutoCAD Binary DXF
MicroStation V7
MicroStation V8
The limitations for these CAD APIs are the same as for the Export to CAD command.
See the Export to CAD Limitations topic in Help for more information.
The API is documented in the Intergraph.GTechnology.Desktop.API.Reference.chm.
Legend API
New legend API allows you to:
Get and set the information on a legend entry or legend group.
Apply ad hoc filters programmatically.

Relationship Modeling
Break linear features (interior connectivity)
When a Break operation occurs, the Break subsystem properly maintains interior node‐edge
connectivity relationships. The Break subsystem attempts to automatically maintain the
relationship using proximity to determine the proper node assignments to make. For
ambiguous cases, the Break subsystem displays the Resolve Node‐Edge Connectivity dialog
box to give you an opportunity to make the proper node assignments. If the broken feature
cannot relate to another feature with the same FNO, two new node IDs are generated. In
versions before 9.4.3, these node IDs are set to 0. In version 9.4.3, two new node IDs are
assigned.
See the following topics in Help for details:
Resolving Node‐Edge Connectivity
Interior Node‐Edge Connectivity Node Assignment Algorithm
Break and component elimination (Keep with A or B)

Keep with A or B means that geographic proximity is used to determine the destination of a
given component.
See the Break and Component Elimination ‐ Keep With A or B topic in Help for details.


Work Management
STORMS work points: work point features will only be placed automatically by the Send To
STORMS command where a CU's job ID matches the active job ID.
See the Send to STORMS Command topic in Help for more information.
OTDR Trace Operations ‐SP1 (1‐56SK1X)
The STOP_CRITERIA and CUSTOM_STOP_CRITERIA columns are now mandatory, so they are
included in the G3E_TRACE table by default. You no longer have to add them manually; the
Upgrade Wizard updates existing tables.
See the OTDR Compute Stop Criteria Procedure topic in Help for more information.
DDCScan Tool ‐ SP1
The DDC Scan tool (DDCScan.exe) is a batch process that helps you find a problem with
connecting to a configuration by processing all the component views in the DDC file. The
processing uses only the forward traversal paradigm, which runs through the data file from
beginning to end (of the particular component view’s data). Therefore, it does not access the
key index nor the spatial index. Because corruption can also occur in the indexes, the
DDCScan tool has been expanded to include both the key index and the spatial index in the
processing.
Therefore, the DDCScan tool now provides greater coverage of the processing methods used in
the product.
The Event Identifier 2002 was removed, and a command line modifier (‐M (Max check)) was
added to the 2001 Event Identifier. It is recommended that you use the ‐M option.
See the Validating DDC Files topic in Help for more information.
Replicating Data for Field Work ‐ SP1
With Oracle 10g, G/Technology used the USER_DEPENDENCIES view as a tool during
replication to identify anything that may have been missed during the replication, ensuring
that the replicated database is complete and workable. Oracle 11g does not maintain the
USER_DEPENDENCIES view. To overcome this change, replication was modified to generate
the list of objects in the master database during metadata publish or on demand.


The field database table G3E_REPLICATED_OBJECTS contains an entry for every object
replicated. Because USER_DEPENDENCIES cannot be used in the field database to identify any
database objects that have not been replicated, the population of this table was moved to the
master database. This ensures that all objects are accounted for and that the field database
is accurate.
Each procedure in the REPLICATE package issues a query to the master database to identify
objects that are to be replicated. After the object is replicated, an entry is put into
G3E_REPLICATED_OBJECTS. With the new approach, the master database uses the same
identification process to populate the new table, G3E_REPLICATION_OBJECTS, with the
MG3EREPLICATIONUTILS database package.
The replication process was modified to copy the G3E_REPLICATION_OBJECTS to the field
database. The identification queries in the dependency procedure in the REPLICATE package
were modified to query G3E_REPLICATION_OBJECTS to identify which database objects are to
be copied to the field database.
See the Replicating Data for Field Work topic in Help for more information.
Tolerant Data Publishing ‐ SP1 (1‐4PJK6H)
The introduction of the interoperability wizard for exposing GeoMedia data to G/Technology
also exposed geometry types new to G/Technology. When the publishing software
encountered one of these types, it displayed an error message, and the publish operation of
the entire component view was terminated.
Depending on the GeoMedia geometry type, one of the following solutions was implemented:
The GeoMedia‐G/Technology Interface expansion pack produces different metadata.
The publishing software recognizes and converts these types appropriately.
The following table lists the affected GeoMedia geometry types and the solution:
GeoMedia Type G/Technology Solution
linears with arcs All linears are classified in metadata as
composite polylines. This classification covers
all other linear types because it is the most
complete.


GeoMedia Type G/Technology Solution
polygons, All polygons are classified in metadata as
including boundaries. This classification covers all other
composite polygonal types because it is the most
polygons and complete.
polygons with
holes.
collections Changed the publishing software to handle

Oriented Point The publishing software now handles GeoMedia

Creating Log Files
Publishing Facility Data
Configuring Export to CAD Limitations
Trace Picklist ‐ SP1 (1‐4OXRSP )
In previous versions, G/Technology substituted picklist values for any attribute substitution for
traces, instead of the picklist keys. This made the filters difficult to construct for
multi‐language configurations.
To improve the filtering process, the G3E_USEPICKLISTKEY column was added to the
G3E_TRACE table. The new column specifies whether to use the picklist value or the picklist
key.
0 = use value. Use this for most legacy traces. This value is assigned to all existing trace
metadata.
1 = use key (default). Use this for all new traces.


The G3E_USEPICKLISTKEY column determines attribute value substitution for these columns:
G3E_FILTERCRITERIA
G3E_STOPCRITERIA
G3E_PATHCOST
G3E_TRACE
G3E_TRACE.G3E_USEPICKLISTKEY
Area Reports ‐ SP1 (1‐4VX5GW / 1‐4ZGAHJ)
The log file generated when Area Reports are generated writes to a system‐generated
temporary folder. To provide flexibility, you can now specify the folder for the log file. You
can also create a limited version of the log file.
The following arguments have been added to the Area Reports utility (AreaReportUtility.exe):
LogFileDirectory= <name of the folder to use to write the AreaReport.log file>.
If no folder is specified, the software uses the system‐defined temporary folder.
If that folder does not exist, the AreaReport.log file will be created in the system‐defined
temporary folder to inform the user about the invalid folder.
ShortLogFile= <True or False>.
If set to TRUE, the SQL used to process the feature keys is not written to the log file. If set
to FALSE or if the parameter is omitted, the SQL used to update the key tables is written to
the log file.
See the Area Reports topic in Help for more information.
Obsolete Commands
The following functionality is replaced or obsolete for G/Technology versions 9.4.3 and 10.1.0.
These commands have been removed from the G3E_ROLEASSOCIATION table that displays in

Zoom Scale for Plot Windows

In previous versions of G/Technology, the default zoom scale of a plot window was 100%. Now
the default is "Whole Sheet."
Job Commands - Handling of Apostrophe in Job Name

All Job commands that reference jobs will support already implemented bind variables. By
supporting bind variables, string values that contain single tics are written to the database
without any further processing. Bind variables also allow Oracle to reuse these statements
with minimal parsing.

Relationship candidate highlighting

When the Connectivity PickQuick dialog box is displayed, all components of all features
available for connectivity are highlighted in the map so you can more easily determine the
correct connection.
See the Features with Connectivity topic in Help for more information.
Project Orthogonal – Baseline construction aid

Project Orthogonal – Baseline construction aid lets you place more than one point relative to
the baseline. After the baseline feature is placed, it is added to the Display Control for use in
the current G/Technology session. A special style for the temporary baseline can be defined
in G3E_LINESTYLE and in the ProjectOrthogonalBaseLineStyleID in the
G3E_GENERALPARAMETER table.


See the Project Orthogonal ‐ Baseline topic in Help for details.
Attach vector data

The user is warned when the size of a CAD backdrop file exceeds a user‐configurable size which
can result in distortion of the large CAD backdrop file. AutoCADBackdropAreaThreshold in
the G3E_GENERALPARAMETER table lets the system administrator specify the square‐meter
threshold value for distortion for the warning message.
See the Attaching Vector Data topic in Help for more information.

into a plot.
Support layers in Export to PDF

You can export the contents of your map window or plot window to PDF. If your PDF viewer
supports layers, you can turn the layers shown in the Layers tab tree view on or off.
G/Technology supports layers that are controlled by metadata configuration in
G3E_LEGENDENTRY.G3E_LAYERNAME, ad hoc layers, and export from a plot window.
See the Exporting to PDF and Export to PDF Examples topics in Help for details.
Select Multiple Detail Windows

You can open multiple detail windows from all the sections of the Open Detail Window dialog
box.
See the Displaying Data in Detail Windows topic in Help for more information.
Place a Geographic or a Detail Component

You can place a component based on the active map window, geographic or detail, without
having to initiate the proper component type in Feature Explorer. Depending on the active
map window type and metadata configuration, the software knows what type of component to
place. If a geographic window is active, the software places a geographic component. If a
detail window is active, the software places a detail component. You must make metadata
changes to take advantage of this feature.
Example Workflow: Placing Components Based on the Active Window Type
How Placement Works Based on the Active Map Window Type
For the New Feature and Edit Feature commands, depending on metadata configuration, the
contents of the Feature Explorer Graphic Components tab display geographic components,


not associated detail components. The administrator determines the user name of the
component in metadata, and specifies whether the component is available for placement in a
geographic or detail window. Similarly, depending on metadata configuration, the New
Component dialog box displays only the graphic component, not the associated detail
component.

Administering the Web Client Context Database ‐SP1 (31762_U)
To configure the Web Client Context (webcc) database using SQL Server, you now need to
specify the SQL Server Instance name and the mixed mode authentication (including sa
Password) for the instance of the database that you want to use.
To verify that the Web Client Context is actually attached to an SQL Server instance, do the
following:
1. Run the following command line query:
sqlcmd -S .\<Instance name> -U sa -P Password -Q "select name from
sys.databases"
2. Verify that “WebClientContext” appears in the results.
Example
If ‘NAMEDINSTANCE1’ is the instance name, the following query determines
whether webcc is attached to the NAMEDINSTANCE1 instance:
sqlcmd -S .\NamedInstance1 -U sa -P Password -Q "select
name from sys.databases”
Registry Entries ‐ SP1 (31974_U / 1‐553ITT)
In NetViewer/MobileViewer, trace highlighted components that were not configured for the
active legend.
Trace now highlights only the components of the active legend. This was accomplished by
using a new registry variable, ExcludeNonLegendGraphics (Type :REG_DWORD) under
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Intergraph > GNetViewerServer > 09.00 > MapServers'.
This is similar to the UseLegendEntryFilterForQuery entry. To use this functionality, define
this registry variable manually and set the value to one (1).

NetPlot and NetViewer Printing Enhancements ‐ SP1 (1‐4VVZS6)
The default value for each kind of printer, local or network, is initially set to 0. The
GDR_COLORMODE value states the capability and the default color selection for each printer.
Valid values are 0, 1, and 2. Any other value or the absence of this field is treated as a
GDR_COLORMODE value of 0.
There are two methods NetViewer uses to determine the color capability of a printer. The
method used is dependent on the type of printer. The two types of printers are Network and
Local. Network printers are defined as printers installed on the Plot Server. Local printers are
defined as printers installed on a local computer and shared on the network.
Even if a printer supports color, you can set this value to 0 to prevent users from printing in
color.

y1; x2, y2; x3, y3; x4, y4. The plot box points are included in the request to allow you to use
the NetViewer to NetPlot customization hooks to keep a log of the geographic areas that
had been plotted.
Viewer Application Developer Enhancements
You can set the default width of the left‐hand command panel in metadata.
Viewer Configuration
The G3E_DISPLAYMODE, G3E_LOCATABLE, and G3E_USEDISPLAYSCALE columns have been
added to the G3E_NETANALYSISOPTIONS table so you can determine the initial setting of
analysis results appended to the Display Control. The G3E_ROWSPERPAGE column in
G3E_NETANALYSISOPTIONS lets you set a default value for the number of rows displayed per
analysis results page. You can override this default.
Changes in the G3E_NETPAGES Table
A new column, G3E_INPUTFRAMESIZE, has been added to the G3E_NETPAGES table.
You can use G3E_NETPAGES.G3E_ASP (WMSAttributes.aspx) to configure multiple WMS
Get Feature Info commands or to restrict which WMS views can be used for this command.

What's New - SP1

All information about new features is now included in the Release Notes and is no longer in the
What's New topic. The What's New topic now tells you where to access information about
the new features, updated features, and system requirements for G/Technology 10.1.0.
The most current information is, as always, on the SG&I Support page, but you can also access
this information on the product delivery media.


Documentation
Supported Environments - SP1

The Supported Environments topic in the Administrator's Guide to G/Technology Help now tells
you where to access the G/Technology Supported Environments document.
To access the Supported Environments document:
1. Double click setup.exe on the delivery media. The Intergraph Setup Manager dialog box
appears.
2. Click the Supported Environments link. This version of the Supported Environments
document is current as of the release date of the software.
OR
Access the most current version of the Supported Environments document from the SG&I
Support Web page (http://support.intergraph.com/).
On the delivery media for each software version or update, G/Technology provides
the \Installs\GTechnology\Prerequisites folder that contains the minimum version of some of
the system dependencies that are not automatically installed.
Update Access to Coordinate System Objects - SP1

(1-51AHCR)
With G/Technology version 10.1, the coordinate system support services are provided as a
common Intergraph module. While the API is nearly identical to that provided in earlier
releases, there are a few changes. As with other objects, the data reference is to an interface
definition. It might be necessary to cast member variables when using the dot notation to
access properties.
See the Update Access to Coordinate System Objects topic in Help for more information.


SECTION 7
G/Technology 10.1.0 Known Open Issues

The following sections describe significant known issues in version 10.1. The issues
documented in the Upgrade Wizard and API sections require manual intervention or changes
by the administrator before upgrading to version 10.1.
Upgrade Wizard
If an LTT view is defined in metadata to be a published picklist, the metadata publish will
fail during the upgrade from 9.43 to 10.1. This is due to schema changes in 10.1 that caused
the package LTT_USER to be invalid at this point in the process. (TR 31899)
Workaround: Run the Upgrade Wizard as normal. When you receive the metadata
publish error, modify the resume file to skip the metadata publish and proceed to loading
the runtime PL/SQL. After the upgrade has completed, publish the metadata manually.
To modify the resume file, replace the contents of the second line with RUNTIMEPLSQL,
delete the contents of the third line, and make sure there is a blank line after it. The
modified resume file should look like the following example:
10.01.0000.14001
RUNTIMEPLSQL
FALSE
FALSE
The version number in the first line may be different, but the rest of the lines should look
like the example.
In the G3E_UNITFORMAT table, the G3E_ZHEIGHTUNIT field has a check constraint that
prevents invalid units from being entered in the field. If your database’s zheightunit is in
meters, G3E_UNITFORMAT.G3E_ZHEIGHTUNIT must be a lowercase ‘m’ in order for the
constraint to be honored – and for the software to work. However, in many databases,
the field was defaulted to a capital ‘M’. Before running the upgrade wizard, check this
value and if it is an uppercase ‘M’, change it to a lowercase ‘m’. (TR 31520)
API
Custom code that contains the ADO option parameter adExecuteNoRecords along with
adStoredProc will result in an error.


Workaround: Remove the adExecuteNoRecords option from the code. (TR 30179)
Setup/Configuration Wizards
In G/Technology 10.1, new configuration wizards were added, and the existing configuration
wizards were enhanced. The configuration wizards for the corresponding products must be
run before running the products. If the configuration wizards are not run, users will
encounter various issues. Refer to the Configuring the Installed Applications administrative
Help topic for additional details on the configuration wizards.
When installing MobileViewer or OneMobile in batch mode, the path to the configuration
file (/f switch) must not contain spaces. (TR 31742)
The configuration wizard for Work Management displays both configuration options (JLC
and Message Monitor) even if only one was installed. Note that the configuration wizard
will configure the correct option, even though both are displayed. (TR 31539)
When using the All Applications configuration wizard, if an invalid value is entered for the
license server .lic source file, the user cannot go to the next step or go back to the previous
step.
Workaround: The user must enter a valid path and file name. (TR 31357)
Publish Subset and G/Mobileviewer

SQLServer 2008 Express will not create:
A named instance to be used with MobileViewer.
The proper service name of MSSQLSERVER, which MobileViewer requires when using a
default instance.
Workaround: When using SQLServer 2008 Express, provide a named instance. (TR 31768).
If the location of raster files has changed after they were initially placed, they will not be
visible in the G/Technology applications. While raster files are not frequently moved in
the desktop environment, this issue will be seen in G/Mobileviewer because subsets
published to mobile clients and the raster files are moved to those clients. (TR 31845)
Translucency and Display

In previous versions of G/Technology, text becomes a dot when zoomed out. With the
introduction of the GRO display engine in G/Technology 10.1, the text will no longer
become a dot when zoomed out; instead, it will become very small text. (TR 31065)


When you use the Attach Raster Backdrop command to place a raster feature interactively
in such a way that the image is skewed, the raster outline might not be visible. (TR 31196)
When you use the File > Export to PDF command to export to PDF, the
G3E_GENERALPARAMETER PDFLayersVsTranslucency value is honored if there are features
to be exported that are translucent. The resulting PDF file will not contain layers even
though PDF layers are defined in metadata.
Schematics:
If translucency is applied to traces in schematics, the trace will disappear in the
schematics window. (TR 31717)
Schematics output to XML will show different symbology when XML is input to another
schematic. (TR 31201)
Selected schematics do not show up in select color. (TR 31214)
Desktop
The G3E_USERNAME in some of the styles has a single leading space. In previous
versions, these spaces were handled, but in 10.1 leading spaces result in errors. (TR 31678)
Example: When a new Plot Window is opened and you attempt to draw redlines, the
control that allows you to override styles, and so on, gives errors. If you attempt to select
a style, the drop‐down list is empty.
Workaround: Trim the leading spaces and publish the metadata.
Embedded object frames in plot windows may be crooked or partially drawn. (TR 31677)
Printing with translucent features might cause CAD graphics to print lighter than normal.
(TR 31574)
The North Arrow fill color will not be exported to PDF on a Windows Server 2008 machine.
(TR 31632)
When double clicking a workspace to open and use Windows Authentication, some
dockable controls might be turned off. (TR 31356)
Inserting a record into G3E_ATTRUBTE for a field defined as SDO_GEOMETRY will
incorrectly set the G3E_DATATYPE value to ‐1. It should be 32 (gdbSpatial). (TR 31386)
The translucency buttons on the display control will disappear when the display control is
re‐sized very small. (TR 31448)
Pan does not interrupt Rotate Map in a plot window when the map frame is active. (TR
31484)


When you insert an object displayed as an icon, it will not display correctly. (TR 31553)
Changing the color of an attached raster might not automatically update the display. (TR
31560)
Workaround: Select the View > Refresh > Map Windows command to refresh the
display with the correct color.
The Erase Raster command only supports the deletion of raster data in binary tiff formats.
(TR 31646).
A marker will not be placed in the detail window if the marker is on the first cable section in
the detail window. (TR 31652)
In the Edit > Features > Explore Feature command, the column type of number in
dimension tables might display an error if the scale and precision of the value exceeds 28
digits. (TR 31667)
Display Web Source data might be slow. (TR 31698)
Workaround: Set the Web Source data display to a reasonable scale to prevent slow
display.
The Fit All command in the display control does not exclude display control filtered data.
Any data that may be filtered out by a display control filter will be included in the fit even
though it is not visible. (TR 31719)
Issuing queries that return large amounts of data might fail with an out‐of‐memory
exception. (TR 31741)
Generated 3D MicroStation V8 files might not fit correctly when viewed in MicroStation V8.
(TR 31753)
During connection you may get the "Unspecified DDC file" error message with no file name.
(TR 31760)
Workaround: Reboot the file server where the DDC files are located.
The Polygon Select Tool errors when selecting secondary data in which the geometry field
name is not G3E_GEOMETRY. (TR 31774)
Export to PDF will not export WMS data if the coordinate system between G/Technology
and WMS are not the same. (TR 31777)
Selecting or locating an area feature will fill the area with the select or locate color. (TR
31779)
The Update Mobile command is unable to delete an installed job if the job name contains
an apostrophe. (TR 31799)
The Measure Area command is unable to measure the area of a WFS feature. (TR 31844)


The ConvertFVRedlines utility (ConvertFVRedlines.exe), which converts FRAMME Field View
Redline Files to an XML File compatible with the G/Technology Redlines.xsd XML schema
definition, does not execute. (TR 31887)
Microsoft Patch - SP1 (1-555SWB)

Microsoft has identified a critical security issue (Microsoft Security Bulletin MS10‐031
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS10‐031.mspx)) that could allow an
attacker to compromise a Windows‐based system with Visual Basic for Applications Runtime
and gain complete control over it.
Workaround:
1. After installing G/Technology, download and install the end user patch (Microsoft
Downloads
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=436a8a66‐352e‐44d1‐a610‐
c825083ad24a)).
2. Restart the computer after installing the end user patch.
