Release Notes for ROMeo 6.0.1 2

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 licensesecurity 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 patchexecutable. 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 & KnowledgeBase. 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 mayrequire 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 produceopen 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-TimeSystem 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 subflowsheetboundary.

Measurement Standard Deviation wrongly calculated (LFRM#15847)

The measurement unit does not recalculate/update the standard deviation when themeasurement 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


8/12


RTS/EDI

RTS Scheduling (LFRM#15729)

When a real time sequence that is scheduled to run once per month is taken offline andplaced 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

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 onWindows7 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 aROMeo crash with CORBA exception.

PI OPC H.D.A. Import % confidence issue (LFRM#15925)

User given % confidence (non-zero) is used in deciding if the imported aggregate value is

Good or Bad.

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
