|---|---|
| To enhance usability, the MIExecutionService is now available in the APM server. It processes jobs in the Inspection Management, Integrity Mobile, Risk Based Inspection, and Thickness Monitoring module queues. The MIExecutionService uses a single shared ActiveMQ queue service across APM. | US554741 |
| To enhance usability and improve contextual awareness, Schematic View (2D Visualization) has been introduced within Thickness Monitoring. This capability will allow you to:
You will be able to render industrial drawing formats (.svg, .dwg, .jpeg, .pdf, and so on) to plot TMLs. An active Mechanical Integrity 2D Visualization license will be required to access this functionality. | US539882 |
To improve usability when sending TMLs to the Olympus 38DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gage datalogger device, the following enhancements have been made:
| US526329 |
| To enhance usability, the T-Min Calculator now works in accordance with the Override Minimum Thickness Type field on the Thickness Measurement Location. If the Override Minimum Thickness Type field is already set, the Minimum Thickness on the Thickness Measurement Location is not updated from the T-Min Calculator screen. A warning message lists the TMLs that are not updated. | US522002 |
To enhance usability, in the Measurement Data Entry workspace, the width of the TML ID column is now automatically adjusted based on the length of the TML ID. To facilitate this enhancement, the following changes have been made:
| US518505 |
To enhance usability, when inserting or updating Thickness Measurements, you can now have APM automatically correct the measurement based on growth. If the measurement value indicates a growth over a previous measurement, the system will automatically update its value with the value of the previous measurement. The originally entered value will be retained in the Uncorrected Measurement field. To support this functionality the following enhancements have been made:
| US514853 |
| To enhance usability, Thickness Monitoring is configured to use the TML Group family as the only way to group thickness measurement locations. To facilitate this enhancement, the Family Preferences workspace in the TM Admin Preferences page has been redesigned. You can now select the TML Asset ID for each family using the drop-down list boxes under the TML Asset ID Field column. | US445607 |

| Previously, the catalog queries that populated the Corrosion Rate Distribution and Remaining Life charts on the Thickness Monitoring Overview had poor performance in large databases. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Corrosion Rate Distribution query has criteria limiting to assets with corrosion rates greater than or equal to 10 Mils/Year and the remaining life query has criteria limiting to assets with remaining life of less than or equal to 5 Years. | US457578 |
| Previously, in the T-Min Calculator workspace, when you modified the User Defined field, the T-Min Selected field was not updated. This issue has been resolved. | DE191127 |
| Previously, users with MI Thickness Monitoring User security group permissions were unable to create a Piping Band. This issue has been resolved. | DE181965 |
Previously, when multiple Thickness Measurement Location (TML) records had a Measurement Not Taken (MNT) record as the last active measurement, and the TMLs Controlling Corrosion Rate was less than the assets Controlling Corrosion Rate, the following fields were populated and displayed as expected in the Analysis Output section:
Note: It is recommended that you use the TM Bulk Analysis feature to recalculate assets that have MNT records as the last measurement on any TMLs. For more information on how to identify these assets, refer to the KBA 000037654. | DE181172 |
| Previously, in TM Dataloggers page, when you attempted to search for TMLs in the Select TMLs pane, that were already displayed, the search did not return the correct values. This issue has been resolved. | DE179521 |
| Previously, when you attempted to view Thickness Monitoring Locations (TMLs) in the Datalogger page, or if you attempted to send TMLs to the Datalogger, the inactive TMLs were not excluded by APM. This issue has been resolved. | DE175250 |
Previously, in the Thickness Monitoring Datalogger page, when you sent the Thickness Measurement Locations to the 38DL+ device, the TML IDs were formatted incorrectly if:
Note: To resolve this issue, you must install the latest Meridium Devices Service. | DE174874 |
| Previously, when you navigated to the T-Min Calculator workspace for an asset that had been enabled for Piping Rotation, an error message appeared when you attempted to load the TMLs. This issue has been resolved. | DE172811 |
| Previously, if you were assigned the Metric UOM Conversion Set, when entering values in a Thickness Measurement Location record to determine Allowable Stress that had the Tank Type field set to Welded Shell, the Minimum Yield Strength and Minimum Tensile Strength fields were incorrectly populated with Imperial values. However, the value of the Allowable Stress field appeared correctly. This issue has been resolved. | DE156721 |
| Previously, if the PV Stress or Piping Stress reference tables contained multiple records with the same combination of Design Code, Code Year, Material Specification, Material Grade, and Metal Temperature, the Allowable Stress field of the Thickness Measurement Location was populated arbitrarily with one of the records that was returned. This issue has been resolved. Now, the record with the lowest value of Allowable Stress will be used to populate the Allowable Stress field. | DE155129 |
| Previously, when flipping or rotating a Piping Component, if a calculated measurement value created for a TML was negative, even if the operation of flipping or rotating the component failed, the operation was in progress in the APM database due to which APM stopped responding. This issue has been resolved. | DE153950 |
| Previously, if you were assigned to the Thickness Monitoring Inspector security group and granted additional delete privileges, you could not delete a TML. This issue has been resolved. Note: If you do not have delete privileges, when you attempt to delete a TML, an error message will appear. | DE149731 |
| Previously, when using Column Chooser from the Measurements section of the Analysis Overview workspace, you could add a field to the Display Fields section multiple times. Due to this, the data in the Measurement Table did not load. This issue has been resolved. | DE147750 |
| Previously, when you logged in to APM as a metric user and accessed the TML Trends graph, the values for Alert Level 1 and Alert Level 2 were incorrectly plotted based on their imperial equivalents. This issue has been resolved. | DE146040 |
| Previously, when you attempted to send data to the Olympus 38DL Plus Ultrasonic Thickness Gage datalogger device multiple times, an out of memory error message appeared, and the data was not sent to the device. This issue has been resolved. Note: To implement the update, you must install the latest version of the Meridium Device Service. | DE144901 |
| Previously, for an Asset that contained multiple TML Groups linked to it, when the Corrosion Analysis Settings for the Asset were spread to the TML Group level, an error occurred when you attempted to modify the settings for the Asset. This issue has been resolved. | DE144873 |
| Previously, a secured user who was not assigned to any of the Thickness Monitoring security groups - MI Thickness Monitoring Inspector, MI Thickness Monitoring User, or MI Thickness Monitoring Administrator was able to view the Create Settings button for an asset with no related Corrosion Analysis Setting. This issue has been resolved. | DE142333 |
| Previously, in the Measurement Data Entry workspace, when you saved the data for Thickness Measurement, and attempted to navigate to the next page, the data was not saved successfully. This issue has been resolved. | DE172724 |
| Previously, in the Bulk Edit TMLs window, if you selected a single TML, the Design Code column was too narrow to display the values completely. This issue has been resolved. | DE117841 |
| Description | Tracking ID |
|---|---|
| The query, Measurements Near or Less than T-Min, is no longer used in APM. The query has been removed from the Catalog folder Public/Meridium/Modules/Thickness Monitoring/Queries. | US445954 |
