Excel Report

When updating a project you have to update the customer-specific template files "*.xltm" from the directory <project directory>/data/xls_report as well as the internal database Report.mdb (which includes the configuration data).
  • After upgrading to a new product version, manually copy the file Report.mdb from the directory projName.bak/data/xls_report to the directory projName/data/xls_report.
  • Furthermore, update the customer-specific templates via the option Report menu > Update templates. Use, however, the current templates delivered by ETM. Thus, you only need to update the customer-specific templates.

Vimacc

WinCC OA 3.15 installs the vimacc version 2.2.2.2 which enables IPC sockets encryption for all vimacc services. Unencrypted WinCC OA components cannot communicate with the encrypted vimacc services anymore. This means that:

  • A video server with this vimacc version cannot be operated with video clients lower or equal to 3.14, since you cannot enable encryption for them.
  • The vimacc version of an existing video server is also updated.
  • After installing WinCC OA higher or equal to 3.15, it is not possible to communicate with encrypted vimacc services in an existing WinCC OA project lower or equal to 3.14. This also applies if the services are running locally.
