Warnings

Important information, please read

  • TMT Client-Server (Delphi) 2019.4.1 or any earlier version cannot be used with TMT Fleet Maintenance 2022.1.2. Do not upgrade unless you are ready to go to TMT Web only.

  • Customers using both Integration Options and Windows Authentication should set up their systems so that User drop-down lists use the WINUSER value, instead of the USERNAME value.

  • This version requires .Net Framework 4.8. See the hardware requirements for more information.

  • Customers who are on versions of TMT Web before 2021.3 may be exposed to a vulnerability documented by one of our third-party software vendors (Telerik). Guidance varies depending on the installed TMT Web version (see below). For information directly from Telerik, please use this xref: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/knowledge-base/common-allows-javascriptserializer-deserialization

    • 2021.3, 2021.3.2, 2021.3.3, 2022.1, and later

      These versions use an upgraded Telerik version that has patched the vulnerability. No changes are needed.

    • 2019.4

    A future service pack will include patched Telerik DLLs. In the meanwhile, remediation is possible via web.config changes.

    • 2019.2

      • Remediation possible with web.config changes in this version and higher (2019.2-2021.2.X).

    • Before 2019.2:

      • Remediation is not possible with web.config changes. You must upgrade.

      • For Delphi/Web hybrid customers, see 2019.4 section above. For all others, we would suggest you upgrade to the latest version of TMT Web.

Telerik Vulnerability Remediation

Please refer to this link for detailed steps on patching this vulnerability:

https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/asyncupload/security

This involves web.config changes, and it can be done without taking an upgrade. However, we strongly encourage you to upgrade to a later version of TMT Web for the greatest level of mitigation.

Before upgrading your production environment, Trimble recommends that you read the hardware requirements and install the latest version in a test environment. If you have questions, please contact your Trimble customer representative.

Changes to hardware requirements

This version has new SQL Server requirements. You must be using SQL Server 2016 or later to use TMT Web V.2022.1 or later.

For SQL Server 2016, the minimum compatibility mode is 130. TMT Web will also support modes 140 and 150.

There are two files from Microsoft that are required for this version:

  • SQL Server 2016 CLR Types

  • SQL Server 2016 Shared Management Objects

You must download and run both files using these links before upgrading to TMT Web V.2022.1:

You must not delete the 2008R2 CLR/SMO SQL Server components from any TMT Web environment when installing or upgrading. The installer is still using these components at this time.

Windows Server and SQL Server upgrades are included in TMT Web software as a service (TMT Web SaaS). For information about upgrading to TMT Web SaaS or other technical questions, contact Dawn Siegel at [email protected].

If you have technical questions, contact TMT Support:

Windows Server and SQL Server Support

  • Windows Server 2012, 2016, and 2019 support SQL Server 2016.

  • Windows Server 2022 does not support SQL Server 2016.

  • Windows Server 2012, 2016, 2019, and 2022 support SQL Server 2017.

  • Windows Server 2016, 2019, and 2022 support SQL Server 2019.

  • Windows 2012 does not support SQL Server 2019.

Internet Explorer 11 End of Life

Starting June 15, 2022, Microsoft will stop supporting Internet Explorer 11 (IE) for some operating systems. Users affected by the IE end of life can use Microsoft Edge in IE mode. The Edge IE mode supports sites that need IE.

IE is a part of the Windows operating system. As such, Microsoft will provide IE 11 security updates and support for Windows versions on which IE is installed. This will continue as long as Microsoft supports those versions. For more information, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/internet-explorer-microsoft-edge.

The end of IE will affect Interactive Workstation (IWS) users. IWS users can use Edge in IE Mode or consider switching to Trimble Technician Portal (TTP). For details on TTP, see:

Enhancements

Product wide

  • TMT-315807

    The Web installer has these improvements:

    • It works with SQL Server 2016 common language runtime (CLR) types and SQL Server 2016 shared management objects (SMO).

    • It can run the DB Test Connection though the SQL Server 2008R2 CLR Types without errors, even if the server does not have SQL SMO.

    • It only checks the SQL Server 2016 minimum requirement on the SQL Server. It does not check for the requirement on the Web or Application servers.

    • The Install links on the Configuration requirements page let you install the 64-bit SMO and CLR types directly from the installer. If you want to install the 32-bit version, you must do it manually.

Options > Integration Options > TravelCenters of America

Options > Integration Options > TMT ServiceConnect

  • TMT-315971

    The Ignore Invalid Meters and Ignore Invalid Trailer Meters options have been removed. The program now handles invalid meters differently. These options are no longer needed.

    If the program receives an invalid meter reading from the integration, it will leave the RO header meter field blank. You can correct the blank meter field, if required, when you save the RO header.

  • TMT-315972

    If the TravelCenters of America or ServiceConnect integrations passes a meter reading to TMT, and the meter is mapped to a TMT value, TMT uses the mapped value.

    If the integrations pass an unmapped meter reading, TMT will try to use the default value. If the TMT value is set to PRIMARY, then the program selects the primary meter on the unit. If the unit has no primary meter, then TMT ignores the reading.

If the selected meter is not set up on the unit, the program will ignore the reading.
