2019.3

This section contains the following for the latest version:

  • System requirements

  • Enhancements (new or updated features)

  • Resolved issues (application improvements)

We have updated our company name and logo to the Trimble brand.

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

Required update

As of V. 2018.3, the Forecaster Console no longer uses Common Volumes to calculate order quantities. Now, it uses Trailer Compartments to maximize gallons and fit orders to specific trailer compartments. The V. 2018.3 update requires a simple setup process to forecast to trailer compartments. We have included a mass update tool in the ClientCenter download to ease this transition.

  1. Download V. 2018.3 or greater. The Fuel Setup application is included.

  2. Install V. 2018.3 or greater in your test environment.

  3. Use the Inventory Services Trailer Profile window to define trailer compartments. You make your entries on the Compartments tab.

  4. Test the functionality in your test environment.

  5. Once testing is complete, before upgrading your production environment, use the Fuel Setup application’s Trailer Compartment Setup tool to add trailer compartment to prepare the production database. Running the setup tool has no effect on current production data.

  6. Once trailers are setup in your production database, proceed with the upgrade as you normally would.

  7. Test the new production system.

Requirements

  • TMWSuite®

    You must be using TMWSuite V. 2019.3.

  • Microsoft® .NET Framework

    Install or upgrade to the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework on your system. At a minimum, you should have V.4.6.2 installed.

    The framework must be installed on the FuelTMS applications server, client, and administrator systems before you install FuelTMS. If it is not present, the system displays an advisory message during the installation. Install the framework before running the application.

  • Microsoft SQL Server®

    Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or later

  • You must be logged into the system where you want to install the FuelTMS applications, and have administrator rights for that system.

    Like most applications, FuelTMS applications can be installed locally on a user’s system. It is also possible to install FuelTMS applications on a network drive. To do so, you must be logged into the system where the drive is physically located, and have administrator rights for that system.

  • SQL Server System Administrator rights are necessary.

    The installation of FuelTMS applications includes the manual application of a SQL script to the TMWSuite database. You must have a SQL Server administrator login and password to apply it.

Enhancements

Setting up the store’s tanks

Viewing the Company Tank Model History window (FS-201278)

To open the Tank Model History window you had to double click in the tank row’s Tank Model ID field in the Tanks tab of the Company Tank Setup window. The command was hidden. Now you click the Edit command in the Tank Model History field to view a tank’s model history.

Updated Microsoft(r) SQL stored procedures in conjunction with the changes related to the trc_transponder column update.

Resolved issues

  • FS-201176
    Fixed the issue where a blank dialog box pops up when you open and close the Inventory Services login window without adding a Username or Password.

  • FS-201320
    A reading of Zero (0) appears in the import file that is being inserted into a client’s database. Some files have a zero for the reading due to an error or something occurring at the site level that caused the zero to populate instead of the actual reading. Now when a zero shows for a valid tank, all readings for all tanks in the import file for that site will be ignored.
