Previously, when you added the Create Alert node to a policy, only 20 values were displayed in the Alert Name drop-down list box even if more than 20 Alert Templates were defined in GE Digital APM. In addition, if you selected an Alert Name, saved the policy, and then added additional Alert Templates, when you reloaded the policy, the Alert Name setting may have been lost. These issues have been resolved. Now, up to 1000 Alert Names can be displayed.
Note: The capability to display unlimited Alert Names will be enabled in a future release.
DE117905
Previously, if you configured a Query Alerts node to retrieve alerts for a Functional Location representing a Site, Segment, or Enterprise, no alerts were returned. Also, if you configured a Create Alert node to create an alert for a Functional Location representing a Site, Segment, or Enterprise, no alert was created. These issues have been resolved.DE117298
Previously, the Query Alert node retrieved a maximum of 100 alerts regardless of the number available within the requested time range, and there was no indication that the result was truncated. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Query Alert node retrieves up to 1,000 alerts, and if the result is truncated, a notification appears in the execution history details.DE117288
Previously, if you configured the Policy input of a Sub Policy node, then copied and pasted the node, the copy of the Sub Policy node did not display the input fields for the specified Policy. This issue has been resolved.DE116740
Previously, if you attempted to access a policy containing an Entity, Create Entity, or Edit Entity node referencing an entity family that did not exist in GE Digital APM, the policy failed to load. This issue has been resolved.DE113400
Previously, if you entered a value in the Value section of a Text node that could be interpreted as a date or time span (for example, Sunday or 30d), the value was converted to the standard display format for a date or time span prior to being inserted into the Text Pattern. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Text node treats these values as strings.
Note: This change may affect the behavior of the pre-existing policies. Before you upgrade, you must review the policy designs to ensure that the Text node is configured so that the date and time and the time span values are mapped from the Constant node.
DE113062
Previously, if a sub policy contained multiple Return Value nodes with the same name, when you mapped the results from the sub policy to a successor node, the successor node input value list displayed the Return Value name multiple times, even though a single value was returned from the sub policy. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Return Value name is displayed only once in the input value list.DE113041
Previously, if you specified an input value in a Constant node that could be interpreted as a date or a time span (for example, today or 700D) and specified string as the data type for the node, the input value was converted to a date or time span. This issue has been resolved.
Note: This change may affect the behavior of the pre-existing policies. Before you upgrade, you must review the policy designs to ensure that the correct data type is specified in all the Constant nodes.
DE112424
Previously, in the Properties window for an Edit Entity node, in the Auto-map field values section, if you selected Yes, the Entity Key Column box was enabled as a required field. This issue has been resolved. Now, in this scenario, the Entity Key Column box is enabled as an optional field, and a warning message appears in the notification bar, indicating that you have not specified any value in the Entity Key Column box.DE107430
Table 44. Known Issues

The following issues are unresolved in this release.

DescriptionTracking ID
When you export a policy from GE Digital APM V4.3.1.0.0, and then access the exported policy in an older version of GE Digital APM, the connectors in the policy model do not appear even though you can successfully validate and execute the policy. The workaround for this is to manually redraw the connectors between the nodes before making any modifications to the policy.DE116734

Table 58. Resolved Issues

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

DescriptionTracking ID
Previously, if an entity that was specified as a trigger for automatic policy execution was modified more than once within a short time span (that is, less than one second), only one policy execution was triggered. This feature, which was implemented to prevent unintended duplicate policy executions, resulted in some intended policy executions being skipped. This issue has been resolved. Now, policy execution is triggered each time an entity is modified, except for policies that are triggered by new Readings added to a Measurement Location.
Note: For policies that are triggered by new Readings added to a Measurement Location, duplicate policy executions are still prevented because the insertion of new Readings using the Rounds Data Collection module results in multiple entity updates.
US324385
Previously, in the Validation section, if you copied the null value of an instance to use it as an ad hoc test value for validation, the validation results of the policy were incorrect. This issue has been resolved.US306739
Previously, when you added the Create Alert node to a policy, only 20 values were displayed in the Alert Name drop-down list box even if more than 20 Alert Templates were defined in GE Digital APM. In addition, if you selected an Alert Name, saved the policy, and then added additional Alert Templates, when you reloaded the policy, the Alert Name setting may have been lost. These issues have been resolved. Now, up to 1000 Alert Names can be displayed.
Note: The capability to display unlimited Alert Names will be enabled in a future release.
DE117905
Previously, while accessing GE Digital APM using Internet Explorer 11, when you accessed a policy that contained a Health Indicator node, the policy did not load or took a long time to load. This issue has been resolved.DE117337
Previously, if you configured a Query Alerts node to retrieve alerts for a Functional Location representing a Site, Segment, or Enterprise, no alerts were returned. Also, if you configured a Create Alert node to create an alert for a Functional Location representing a Site, Segment, or Enterprise, no alert was created. These issues have been resolved.DE117298
Previously, the Query Alert node retrieved a maximum of 100 alerts regardless of the number available within the requested time range, and there was no indication that the result was truncated. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Query Alert node retrieves up to 1,000 alerts, and if the result is truncated, a notification appears in the execution history details.DE117288
Previously, if you configured the Policy input of a Sub Policy node, then copied and pasted the node, the copy of the Sub Policy node did not display the input fields for the specified Policy. This issue has been resolved.DE116740
Previously, if you attempted to access a policy containing an Entity, Create Entity, or Edit Entity node referencing an entity family that did not exist in GE Digital APM, the policy failed to load. This issue has been resolved.DE113400
Previously, if you entered a value in the Value section of a Text node that could be interpreted as a date or time span (for example, Sunday or 30d), the value was converted to the standard display format for a date or time span prior to being inserted into the Text Pattern. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Text node treats these values as strings.
Note: This change may affect the behavior of the pre-existing policies. Before you upgrade, you must review the policy designs to ensure that the Text node is configured so that the date and time and the time span values are mapped from the Constant node.
DE113062
Previously, if a sub policy contained multiple Return Value nodes with the same name, when you mapped the results from the sub policy to a successor node, the successor node input value list displayed the Return Value name multiple times, even though a single value was returned from the sub policy. This issue has been resolved. Now, the Return Value name is displayed only once in the input value list.DE113041
Previously, if you specified an input value in a policy instance for a Point Value node or specified a value in a Constant node that could be interpreted as a date or a time span (for example, today or 700D), and if you specified string as the data type for the node, the input value was converted to a date or time span. This issue has been resolved.
Note: This change may affect the behavior of the pre-existing policies. Before you upgrade, you must review the policy designs to ensure that the correct data type is specified in all the Constant and Point Value nodes.
DE112424
Previously, when you accessed a policy, the following issues may have occurred:
  • The mappings between the output fields of the predecessor nodes and the input fields of the successor nodes were not retained.
  • Incorrect error messages appeared in the notification bar.
These issues have been resolved.
DE110027
Previously, in the Properties window for an Edit Entity node, in the Auto-map field values section, if you selected Yes, the Entity Key Column box was enabled as a required field. This issue has been resolved. Now, in this scenario, the Entity Key Column box is enabled as an optional field, and a warning message appears in the notification bar, indicating that you have not specified any value in the Entity Key Column box.DE107430
Previously, in the Instances section of a policy that contained a Predix Time Series node, if you specified a functional location record representing an enterprise, site, or segment in the asset hierarchy as the primary record of the policy, an error occurred and no input suggestions appeared for the Predix Time Series node. This issue has been resolved.DE105465
Previously, if the GE Digital APM database contained an active policy configured for automatic execution, and if you added the database as a new data source on the GE Digital APM server, the policy was not executed as per the execution schedule until you updated the policy. This issue has been resolved.DE53608
Table 59. Known Issues

The following issues are unresolved in this release.

DescriptionTracking ID
When you export a policy from GE Digital APM V4.3.1.0.0, and then access the exported policy in an older version of GE Digital APM, the connectors in the policy model do not appear even though you can successfully validate and execute the policy. The workaround for this is to manually redraw the connectors between the nodes before making any modifications to the policy.DE116734

In addition, the APM Thickness Monitoring Datalogger could not process the file containing an A-Scan or display the readings. These issues have been resolved.
Note: GE Digital APM Thickness Monitoring does not store the A-Scan data stored on the device. You must upgrade Meridium Device Service application to the latest version.
