The 11.5 release of DBDOC makes improvements across a variety of areas. Major updates include direct support for ABB 800xA graphics, enhancement of AC 800M support, and improved presentation of CLDs and BATCH programs.
Hyperview in a Web Browser has also been made more accessible with the addition of a "No Login" mode, and it is now much easier than before to compare Error Browser errors between builds.
Improved support for 800xA graphics
A very significant change in 11.5 is the fact that DBDOC's support for 800xA graphics is now derived from the full AFW backup. This is more correct and complete than our previous approaches to 800xA graphics support. Full tag information information is also extracted from the AFW backup, and the graphics are presented in chapters that follow the actual project structure. It is easier than ever before to include 800xA graphics in your DBDOC project, and their presentation is more intuitive, correct, and complete than ever before.Growing support for AC 800M systems
11.5 continues to rapidly increase DBDOC's support for AC 800M systems. Search and navigation are fully supported, and detailed support continues to improve as we gain experience with client systems and get feedback. DBDOC supports mixed Harmony/ AC 800M and systems that are exclusively AC 800M. We want to provide support that complements your existing ABB software, and we welcome feedback about what is (and could be) most useful.Improved support for SPlus Operations graphics
DBDOC's handling of SPlus graphics continues to improve, with adjustments to details of hotspot, font, and text placement on graphics. Screenshots and feedback from your systems are invaluable to us -- please let us know when you see something that's not quite right. Chances are that when we fix the problem for you, it will simultaneously be fixed for a dozen other systems!Merged EWS Taglist to facilitate configuration vs graphics comparisons
Each SPE or Composer project now automatically combines the associated taglists into a single taglist. This makes it much easier to synchronize with the graphics and see clearly what is going on.Automatic exports of tags with database info plus specs
In DBDOC 11.5 builds, taglists are automatically exported with specs during the build process. This makes it possible to identify situations where there is a mismatch between the running system and settings in the database. For the first time, you can analyze tags with respect to the logic in the modules.
SPE 2.x and Composer systems updates
Hyperview can export all graphics
Hyperview can export full-sized screenshots for use by other programs. Relevant metainformation (size, title, location of links, etc) is also exported. Contact us for detailed information on how to use this capability.No-Login mode for Hyperview in a Web Browser
A no-login mode has been added, so that Hyperview pages can be viewed without user accounts. This means that anyone (within the acceptable network context) can simply use links to DBDOC web pages and use Hyperview in a Web Browser with no further setup necessary.Faster and more usable search
Topic title search in Hyperview is completely reworked to be much more usable. Searches now match to anywhere in a title string (not just the start), and each character you add to the search string restarts the search. Since longer search strings match faster than shorter ones (fewer matches), this enormously improves the performance and usability of this search. In addition, you can now export the results of a text search, with all the associated search result metadata, into a TSV file.Much easier to identify errors introduced between builds
The error browser automatically compares errors to the previous version opened and identifies new ones. Now, if you open an older file, the error base is reset. When you view a newer version, the errors introduced by the new one are highlighted. Using these techniques, you can easily identify how many, and which, errors were introduced between DBDOC builds.
