Smart Instrumentation Version
13.1

The following changes have been made to Smart Instrumentation 14.

Retrieving DCS Catalogs

  • In an integrated environment, retrieving DCS Catalogs no longer requires that the SmartPlant Schema Component and SmartPlant Client are installed on your local machine.

    • Publishing DCS Catalogs still requires that the SmartPlant Schema Component and SmartPlant Client be installed.

    • If you are working with the Smart Instrumentation - Smart Electrical point-to-point interface, you should install the SmartPlant Schema Component and SmartPlant Client from the Smart Instrumentation installation DVD. If you are working in a fully integrated environment then, you must install these items from the SmartPlant Foundation installation DVD.

Macro Expansion

  • Macro Expansion is no longer available in Smart Instrumentation when using direct point-to-point interface with SmartPlant PDS/SP P&ID

CAD

From version 14 Microstation is no longer supported.

Update Assemble Command

The Update Assemble Command DLL has been changed from UpdateAssemblyCmnd90.dll, to SPI.Modules.ESR.UI.dll. No changes have been made to the functionality. These changes to the code were made to improve the user experience.

Viewing the .avi Generating Loop Movie in the Enhanced Report Module

If you install Smart Instrumentation in a folder other than the default folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartPlant\Instrumentation), when generating an Enhanced Report the .avi animation displayed during the report generation does not work. To view the animation, you must do the following:

  1. Open the Registry Editor.

  2. In the Registry Editor go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem.

  3. Right-click on NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation, and from the list box select Modify.

  4. On the Edit DWORD page, in the Value data text box, type 0.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Restart your machine.

Security

SPISuper user login

For security reasons, the use of the SPISuper user login is no longer available. The spi_login (security schema login) is used instead. The spi_login is more secure as it is unique per user and can be changed and encrypted by the System Administrator if required.

Database Upgrades

For MSSQL server users, the upgrade to databases can now only be performed by a System Administrator or someone whose credentials have the correct permissions as given by the System Administrator.

If you have not already removed the SPISuper user login. During the upgrade process you are prompted to enter your System Administrator credentials. The software then automatically removes the SPISuper user and replaces it with the System Administrator (spi_login) credentials.
