Release Notes for ROMeo 6.0.1

Release 6.0.1
Installation
Installation of ROMeo 6.0.1 patch requires previous installation of ROMeo 6.0 full release. Install full release ROMeo 6.0 before installing 6.0.1 patch. The patch installation will detect if ROMeo 6.0 is installed prior to proceeding with the update to 6.0.1. No license security is required for installing 6.0.1 patch. License security is required for running ROMeo once the patch is installed. Machines that only have the 64-bit solver installed, i.e. there is no v6.0 server installed or 32-bit only solver installed on the system, should not use the standard 6.0.1 install patch executable. A separate install patch executable is provided for 64-bit solver-only install. Patch install kits will only be found on the Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) site on the Invensys Simsci-Esscor Support Webpage under the Software Updates & Knowledge Base. The 6.0.1 install patch and 6.0.1 64-bit solver-only patch are available for download. No additional authorization code is needed to download ROMeo patches. 6.0.1 patch installation files update many previously installed 6.0 files and add some new files. The patch install also updates many initialization and ROMeo system files that may require the user to copy over original customized files. Patch installations do not update license security settings.

Migration to ROMeo 6.0.1

Thermo enhancements in upgraded versions of ROMeo may cause flowsheet to produce open residuals after schema evolution migration. New thermo enhancements may also produce better thermo calculations. Solving and updating initial values for portions of migrated flowsheet may be required to improve flowsheet initialization prior to full flowsheet solve.

Moving Custom Reports to ROMeo 6.0.1

To open Custom Reports created in previous versions in v6.0.1, user should copy the folder User\Mra\ModelReportViews from the previous build to the new build folder User\Mra\ModelReportViews.

Migrating Captive Historian Tags to ROMeo 6.0.1

Users are required to export the Captive Historian configuration to a file before uninstalling the previous version. The user can then Import the configuration file into the ROMeo 6.0.1 Captive Historian Admin Tool.

Migrating databases to ROMeo 6.0.1

ROMeo\ARPM\MBM model application databases in v5.0x, v5.1x, v5.2x, v5.3 and v6.0 will automatically migrate (through schema evolution) upon opening in ROMeo 6.0.1. Real-Time System sequence database in v5.0x, v5.1x, v5.2x, v5.3 and v6.0 will automatically migrate (through schema evolution) upon registering in ROMeo Real-Time System 6.0.1. Please contact your SIMSCI representative for a migration path of ROMeo\ARPM systems prior to 5.0. Note: Starting with ROMeo 5.0, migrating model application databases requires the user to perform Save As after migration to update the database with imbedded thermo content that is required for future upgrade migration. Failing to perform Save As after schema migration will generate errors in subsequent upgrade of the database.

Summary of Defects Fixed in 6.0.1

Defects fixed since 6.0 release

General Flowsheet
Controller CV disconnected (LFRM#15751) If the controller CV is not connected and the user tries to solve the flowsheet, the ensuing exception is handled with a descriptive error message FeedCompositionEstimator error (LFRM#15839) A freshly configured FCE on a source will not give a DOF error in a fresh Flowsheet Fix Free Status of Splitter inside a SUBFS (LFRM#15893) The fix/free status of a splitter streams is not reverted once the subflowsheet containing splitter is turned off and back on if the splitter product streams are across the subflowsheet boundary. Measurement Standard Deviation wrongly calculated (LFRM#15847) The measurement unit does not recalculate/update the standard deviation when the measurement accuracy (eabs1, eabs2, erel, ref value, full scale value, etc) is changed in the reconciliation data tab Error Messages on Trayed column (LFRM#15878) Error messages appear in the diagnostics window when a new mapped section is added to the top of a column trayed section. Copy/Paste of Unit copies macros as well (LFRM#15869) Copy/Paste a unit from one subflowsheet to another will not carry the macros as well (overwrite). Custom reports (views) cascade issue (LFRM#15736) Custom reports made of just views cascade down into sub-flowsheets. Custom reports that also contain information on named blocks do not cascade down

Release Notes for ROMeo 6.0.1

RTS/EDI
RTS Scheduling (LFRM#15729) When a real time sequence that is scheduled to run once per month is taken offline and placed back online, it will not run immediately. RTS OPP Task (LFRM#15816) OPP does not overwrite MVC2 bounds in the Implementation submodel if they are blank in the main Target model EDI OPC DS Array tag failure (LFRM#15774) Import on OPC port groups/blocks will not fails with array tags of names longer than 21 characters and there are more than 8 tags. PI-OPC DS invalid tag data import (LFRM#15845) Improved handling for PI-OPC Datasource when the portgroups with some invalid tags. SQL OLEDB EDI login option changes during migration (LFRM#15852) Schema evolved OLEDB datasources will have the Default SQL authentication selected instead of Windows. This corrects the wrong schema evolve code in 5.3.1 and 6.0 (where the authentication was set to Windows). OPC H.D.A Import on Windows 7 (LFRM#15884) ROMeo crash is fixed when the user performs HDA import on OPC port groups/blocks on Windows7 OS machine. ODBC Block Import with missing data caused Crash (LFRM#15912) ODBC EDI-Block Import Data containing some ports with missing data does not cause a ROMeo crash with CORBA exception. PI OPC H.D.A.

Solver/Sensitivity Analysis
5.2.1 Post Solution Analysis Trace File problem (LFRM#15414) The Post Solution Analysis trace file is showing wrong do/dx for tier streams. The derivatives are correct for sensitivity analysis runs and reports but wrong for the solver trace file. 5.3 Multiple Sensitivity Analysis (LFRM#14678) Multiple Sensitivity Analysis execution may cause memory increase for processes MA_Server.exe and Solver.exe Sensitivity Analysis Collection Solve (LFRM#15790) Sensitivity Analysis gives different solutions between an FS solve and a collection solve

RTS
RTS DRR Data Reconciliation Objective Scaling (LFRM#15914) In the Data Rec Review in RTS, it checks against the scaled DR objective, rather than looking at the unscaled value

Portal / OPS ADDin

Portal2.1.1 File open (LFRM#15909) Portal 2.1.1 will not open files with Belgial Local Settings Work around: Changing the regional settings to English (United States) works fine Some ROMeo variables drag drop issue in Portal (LFRM#15830) Some variables in ROMeo throw an error when being dragged into Portal. (ROMeo UA term available in ROMeo 2-sided HXs and HW linker throws an error when being dragged into Portal) UOM Set return value in OPSADDin (LFRM#15928) Choosing UOM set "Current" returns value in internal units instead of the current UOM set for OPSAddin
