Table 1. Enhancements and New Features

The following enhancements and new features have been added.

DescriptionTracking ID
The Work Management Interface functionality is now enabled to support notification creation in addition to work order generation when tasks are created in the application. Additionally, you can select EAM Object, User Status, and Type while creating tasks.US523942
In an SIL Analysis, you can now copy a Risk Assessment Recommendation to multiple Instrumented Functions. To facilitate this enhancement, the Copy icon() has been added in the Recommendations pane of SIL Analysis.US518255
Table 2. Resolved Issues

The following issues, which existed in one or more previous versions, have been resolved.

DescriptionTracking ID
Previously, the SIS Management Overview page took a long time to load due to the complexity of the SIL_Analysis_Asset_Overview and SIL_Distribution_for_Graph queries. This issue has been resolved.US564147
Previously, if a Protective Instrument Loop contained more than one device in an identical Sensor or Final Element Group, and if you updated a device, the Device ID was changed in the remaining devices in the group as well. This issue has been resolved.DE191397
Previously, in the SIL Verification section, when you selected multiple Protective Instrument Loops and attempted to delete the loops, the application did not respond as expected. This issue has been resolved.DE190830
Previously, when you navigated between multiple SIL Analyses, and attempted to create an Instrumented Function, the application stopped responding and you had to refresh the page to continue. This issue has been resolved.DE189891
Previously, the Proof Test workflow did not function as expected when only the Functional Location was selected at the Instrumented Function level. This issue has been resolved.DE188701
Previously, the Protective Instrument Loop Sensor System records were not included in the search results. This issue is now resolved.DE186408
Previously, when you updated any field in an Instrumented Function and attempted to switch to another Instrumented Function, sometimes, the pop up for the unsaved changes did not appear. This issue has been resolved.DE180959
Previously, in SIL Analysis, the Team Members section did not load when you selected the Team Members tab after navigating from the Definition tab. This issue has been resolved.DE178101
Previously, in the Proof Test Tasks section, when you selected Perform Proof Test for a task, the Task ID field was not populated automatically. This issue has been resolved.DE177405
Previously, when you performed a proof test, if the Trip point was defined as negative value in the Proof Test Template Detail, the result was calculated as Fail. This issue has been resolved.DE172467
Previously, in Has Reference Documents relationship family, when you attempted to add the relationship definition between safety related families and reference document, the Reference Document option was not available in the respective family datasheet. This issue has been resolved.DE172444
Previously, when you ran SIL Assessment Upgrade Utility as part of the database upgrade activity, the following issues occurred:
  • The system ran out of memory when clearing the values in the Loop Diagram column in the Protective Instrument Loop table.
  • Record creation failed when processing external SIL Assessments.
  • Additional parsing errors appeared in the log.

These issues have been resolved. Additional logging and error checks have been added.

DE155591
Previously, when you tried to link a Sensor, Final Element, Sensor Group, Final Element Group, Sensor System, Final Element System, or a Logic Solver in a Protective Instrument Loop, an error occurred. Also, the success or failure message did not appear after the operation. This issue has been resolved.DE154988
Previously, when you selected a device or calculated a Protective Instrument Loop, if there was a device configuration error, no error message was displayed. This issue has been resolved.
Note: A warning message now appears in the Loop Diagram and Calculation page or when you select an incompatible device.
DE153164
Previously, when you logged in as a secured user and attempted to select an APM query from the catalog in the admin section, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved.DE152664
Previously, when you created Revision Record for an SIL Analysis, the Revision Record was not created for few Instrumented Functions that were linked to the SIL Analysis. This issue has been resolved. DE150911
Previously, if the Hazards Analysis license was not active in APM, when you attempted to add a team member to the team associated with a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Analysis, an error occurred. This issue has been resolved.DE145949
Previously, when same asset was linked to more than one predecessor record using the Safety Analysis has Equipment relationship, the template field was not populated while performing proof test. This issue has been resolved.DE162253
Previously, in SIL Analysis, there was a performance issue when you applied template for Protective Instrument Loop in the Instrumented Function. This issue has been resolved.DE174778
Previously, in the Risk Assessment Recommendation datasheet, when you selected a functional location from the Asset Finder, the Functional Location ID field was not populated with the selected value. This issue has been resolved.DE183773
Table 3. Known Issues and Limitations

The following known issues and limitations exist.

DescriptionTracking ID
When you attempt to import a recently created Exida project file with the .exp extension into APM, an error occurs and the import fails.DE195336
When you attempt to import an Exida project file with the .exp extension into APM, an error occurs due to incompatibility of Exida software with APM system architecture and the import fails.DE193244
When you attempt to copy a LOPA and Hazards Analysis license is not active, an error occurs and copy functionality fails.DE192842
When you attempt to copy a LOPA, the original LOPA site doesn’t get copied to the copied LOPA.DE192841
Table 4. Obsolete Features

The following features are no longer available.

DescriptionTracking ID
You can no longer customize the code to generate a work order because the work order generation for tasks created in APM has been moved into the product code.US523942
