Development of DRS Version 6.1.14 is now complete and was released in September, 2024. DRS 6.1.14 Contains a number of fixes and improvements alongside a number of component upgrades to ensure the product remains secure. It can be deployed as a patch to version 6.1.13.
New and Improved Functionality
DRS-8134 Disable the ability to add SORs to Packages through the UI
What have we done?
The ability to add SOR’s to Projects and Orders has been possible within DRS for some time, and initial implementation of Project Planner Web allowed this to be possible with Project Packages.
The ability to add SOR’s to Project Packages is now no longer possible.
Why have we done this?
Adding SOR’s directly to Project Packages results in potential issues when unloading and unspecifying Project Packages as the data becomes orphaned due to it not being available on the original Project object.
You can still add SOR’s directly to the Project object.
How will you benefit?
By minimising the potential for data discrepancy, your use of the product will be more consistent.
Details of the change
The EDIT SOR option has been updated to not include the option to Add new SOR’s on the Project Package.
DRS-8189 Update aligned Oracle MySQL Connectors to latest release
What have we done?
MySQL ODBC connector has been updated to version 9.0 (latest possible)
Why have we done this?
Identified risks have resulted in the need to upgrade the infrastructure associated with DRS
How will you benefit?
Updated infrastructure ensures DRS continues to remain compliant and secure.
Details of the change
MySQL ODBC connector will need to be updated to 9.0 before the DRS Patch is installed.
DRS-7560 Java JMX RMI Accessible with Common password Vulnerability resolved
What have we done?
DRS Setup and Configuration has been amended to ensure that this vulnerability does not continue to be a risk.
Why have we done this?
Identified risks have resulted in the need to improve our setup and configuration.
How will you benefit?
Updated infrastructure ensures DRS continues to remain compliant and secure.
Details of the change
Automated application configuration and setup changes have been made.
DRS-8199 Improve the Close/Complete project task run time
What have we done?
Changes have been made to improve the performance and speed of the Complete Project function within DRS.
Why have we done this?
The Complete Project function, when used over single large projects, or multiple projects, can take a long time to run due to the number of individual requests that are needed to close down your projects. This is a long running task which limits your continual use of the product while this function is running.
How will you benefit?
These changes allow the user to continue to perform functions while the task is processed in the background.
Details of the change
When a user selects Projects to complete, they will be presented with the Background option through the Minimize function on the window popup.
The user will track the progress of the background task with the progress bar under the Agencies selector.
When complete, the task will show within the progress window as below.
Clicking Close will remove the modal and complete the task.
DRS-8218 Improve the diary loading times for PP Jobs
What have we done?
Diary loading times for DRS and Project Planner have been improved by minimising the meta data requested when building the diary view.
Why have we done this?
Reliable and performant product functionality is key to ensuring that user experience is as good as possible.
How will you benefit?
Faster diary loading times will mean lower downtimes when switching between diary views.
Details of the change
Multiple fixes have been made to the selectProject and selectProjectPackage commands. Sor Codes are now optionally returned as they are not required for the diary and the selection of Sor Codes has been optimized.
The getDiaryScheduleEvents / GetScheduleEvents has further been optimized to utilize cache better.
