Documentation

The WinCC OA Online Documentation has received a complete makeover that greatly improves its usability. It has been outfitted with a modern, responsive design which makes the use, especially on mobile devices, much easier. Furthermore, the documentation’s internal structure has been adapted to create quick and logical pathways leading the user to the information they’re looking for faster and more intuitively.

Please note that currently the new Online Documentation does not work with the Samsung Internet 26 Browser (27 Beta is already available for download!).

WinCC OA JavaScript Manager for Node.js

The JavaScript/TypeScript API of the WinCC OA JavaScript Manager for Node.js has been enhanced.

  • dpGetPeriod, dpGetPeriodSplit and alertGetPeriod methods
  • dpQuerySplit and dpCancelSplitRequest methods
  • sysConnect method
  • Various other methods
• It is now possible to forward callbacks from Control code to JavaScript/TypeScript when the code is running in the JavaScript manager.

Further details can be found within the API documentation.

Video

Several improvements have been made to the Video OA Object Explorer:

• SVG Overlay and Privacy Zone configuration can now be copied from one stream to another.

• An option for live as well as archived streams to be viewed in vimaccOA Workstation for each camera has been added.

• The handling of user defined parameters/keys for camera configuration has been improved.

Security

WinCC OA OS authentication on Windows now works without any NTLM function calls, since NTLM is deprecated by Microsoft. The former WinCC OA behavior can be restored by using the config entry [general] useWindowsNTLM = 1 (default value 0).

WebView EWO

The WebView EWO now allows access to resources at a webpage’s request. Possible features as available in QT libraries can be viewed here: Qt - WebEngine Feature Permissions

An issue affecting the ULC UX reconnect in case of connection errors as well as a server shutdown has been fixed. This new behavior can be set by using the config entry [ulcUX] autoReconnectOnShutdown = 1.

Calendar

The calender object now provides an Today button that allows to select the current date within the calender. For more information, see chapter Calendar - Today.
