Hi all
Does anyone have a list of Scada Basic instructions on which we have to pay attention when updating a project from old PcVue version ?
Do you know if some instructions could have dissapeared ?
HI Nico,
SB instructions should never disappear! Some of them could be deprecated meaning we write in the documentation the instruction is no more used because we created a new one.
Nico
Nico's answer is our forever truth, and I do not recall removing stuff without good reasons.
In v12, we had a good reason for some of them:
Verb SYSTEM modes USERNAME and PASSWORD - They should have not been implemented in the past, and were removed from v12 for security purpose.
Verb WEBVUE modes SETWINDOW, RESTOREWINDOW and RESTOREURL - Are useless in the new WebVue architecture and have been removed.
Verb PRINTER - We discussed changes following tests, in particular, a couple of modes were useless (for printer redundancy which is a feature that does not exist). I do not know how it ended up, the online help is unchanged. Modes FLUSH and SELECT if I remember well, we only know 1 customer who used it, no one should be affected if we have changed something.
Good to know: We have changed a few modes of verb LOGDISPLAY for consistency reasons. Affected modes are a subset of those having the DelayExecution argument. We did changes so that all of these modes follow the same logic. For 1 or 2 of them we had to do a breaking change.
Feel free to check the online help and feedback is welcome if you think such changes are not properly advertised.
Goal is to have such breaking changes documented as part of the Release Notes, which is not yet available for v12 (unfortunately).
