Warnings
PLEASE READ BEFORE UPGRADING
Starting with V.2022.2, the AMSLIC (license) database has been merged with the TMWAMS (TMT) database. The installer now works with the new merged database alone.
Existing customers must:
-
Run the provided installer migration script to copy all the data from their AMSLIC database to the TMT database.
-
Perform the upgrade using this merged TMT database. The AMSLIC database will become an invalid input in the SQL setup page of the installer.
After doing an upgrade, the web.config file should only have a TMT database, so that the application will launch without issues. The web.config file will still have two database connect entries, as they exist today, but both will refer to the same database.
New customers with a fresh database do not need to run the installer migration script. They can install the program using the TMT database alone.
If you are currently using an older Client-Server version, you must upgrade to at least V.2019.4 before running the merger script to upgrade to V.2022.2. |
Important information, please read
-
SQL Server Cardinality
Changes to SQL Server cardinality are affecting the performance of TMT Web. The issue happens when SQL Server compatibility mode is set to 120 or greater. This has been identified through Trimble benchmarking and customer feedback.
At this time, Trimble recommends that you set the SQL Server option for Legacy Cardinality Estimation to ON. This will lessen the effects of the new SQL Server cardinality behavior, which still needs further assessment/improvements in TMT Web.
-
Trimble Technician Portal (TTP) single sign-on (SSO)
-
If you will be using TTP SSO, you must allow pop-up windows. You cannot block them. This applies to Apple and Android phones and tablets. If you block pop-up windows, SSO will not work correctly.
Follow the directions for your tablet and browser to allow pop-up windows.
-
If you have issues with TTP after upgrading, you may need to clear your browser cache. Close the TTP application and follow the directions for your browser to clear the cache.
-
If you have bookmarked a TTP URL that has a version number, such as 21-3, you should delete that bookmark. Use and bookmark this URL instead: https://tmt-ttp.trimble-transportation.com/
-
-
TMT Client-Server (Delphi) 2019.4.1 or any earlier version cannot be used with TMT Fleet Maintenance 2022.1 or later. 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
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.
Two files from Microsoft 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:
-
SQL Server 2016 SP2 feature pack
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56833 -
SQL Server 2016 SP3 feature pack
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=103444
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. |
