New updates released for FactorySQL, FactoryPMI
Versions 4.2.6 and 3.2.4 respectively offer a variety of fixes and enhancements, along with a few new features
09/25/2008 - New maintenance updates are now available for both FactorySQL and FactoryPMI. Versions 4.2.6 and 3.2.4 respectively offer a variety of fixes and enhancements, along with a few new features.

On the FactorySQL side, in addition to fixes, this version offers the ability to configure system wide audio alerts based on severity, and the ability to delay alert emails. The audio alerts provide a quick and easy way to effectively broadcast the fact that an alert is active, and the severity-based settings make it easy to indicate the current severity level. Alerts can be looped, and can be set to stop either when the alert clears, or is acknowledged. Delayed alert emails are automatically canceled if the alarm is cleared, thus preventing unnecessary frequent emails for alerts that often fluctuate.

Most users are encouraged to update as part of their normal maintenance procedure. Only users utilizing Aggregate Data Connections are requested to upgrade immediately, as we have fixed a problem that could significently affect their execution. More information about the changes made in this release can be found in the change log included with the update.

FactoryPMI includes a number of minor, but often-requested new features. Most notable is the new "Push Publish" project update mode, which allows completely hands-off client updates. Customers who have FactoryPMI clients running on large ceiling or wall-mounted displays will appreciate this feature so that their updates get pushed to the client automatically. Authentication profiles can now be chained together using "Soft Failover", which effectively lets a project use multiple authentication profiles at once. A host of other minor features have been added, mostly improvements to existing components. See the changelog for full details.
