Requirements

Before you begin installing TMW Operations version 2024.1, check that these requirements are met:

  • TMWSuite®
    You must be using TMWSuite V. 2024.1.

    If you are using TMW Back Office, your version of TMW Operations must be the same as your version of TMW Back Office.

  • Microsoft® .NET Framework
    .NET Framework 4.6.2 or later (full package not client)

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

  • Internet Information Services (IIS) for Microsoft Windows Server®
    IIS Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 or later

    • Microsoft SQL Server 2014 or later

      Note: SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2019, and SQL Server 2022 are certified for use with this application. Trimble Transportation recommends using the latest service pack of whichever version you use.

  • You must be logged into the system where you want to install TMW Operations, and have administrator rights for that system.
    Like most applications, TMW Operations can be installed locally on a user’s system. It is also possible to install TMW Operations 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 TMW Operations 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

EDI

Increase mpp_gps_desc(45) to 255 (TTESUITE-208111)

Increased the mpp_gps_desc(45) column on the manpowerprofile to be the same character length as ckc_comment(254) and trc_gps_desc(255).

Freight Board Interface

Prevent Message Popups for Freight Board Interface Server Installations (TTESUITE-208760)

A new setting option, Enable Message Popups, was added to the installer TMW Freight Board Interface Setup Options window. When it is disabled, it will prevent message boxes from displaying on screen during the processing of postings.

Note: This can be changed after installation by editing the app config file and restarting the Freight Board Interface application. This setting should be off for the server installation, and we recommend leaving it on for client installations.

Resolved issues

Driver Profile

  • TTESUITE-208332
    A System.OutOfMemory exception error could occur when the time a browser control within a window was being initialized, there was not enough memory to complete. The browser control is used in many windows within the application. It was determined that the first initialization of any browser control consumed the most memory, but for a brief period of time, then almost all memory was freed. In order to reduce the probability of a problem, the browser is now first initialized during login of the application, when very little of the application is consuming memory. Their should be little additional time spent getting to the login window unless the processor has limited capacity.

Fuel Interactive

  • TTESUITE-207879
    Code reading Config settings were converting everything to Upper case. ALL settings are now case-sensitive, including login password.

Profit and Loss tab

  • TTESUITE-208104
    Weight computation for settlement rating has been fixed to correctly consider minimum quantities from invoice details.

  • TTESUITE-208408
    Volume and count computation for settlement rating has been fixed to correctly consider minimum quantities from invoice details.

Route Maintenance

  • TTESUITE-206782
    Corrected an issue where the Scheduler was incorrectly identifying the first Monday of the Month for the Rotating Schedules. The issue led to the Scheduler creating the incorrect number of Orders for a Schedule in some cases.

Trip Folder

  • TTESUITE-204065
    This fixes a problem where a Load Requirement that is attached to a BillTo company does not copy across to the other moves when you CrossDock the order from it’s original move.

Trip Planner

  • TTESUITE-202053
    In order to allow a Park and Hook split trip scenario to be better utilized within the Trip Planner, the logic within park and hook now determines shift information as well as additional positioning stops as performed within the Trip Planner. This is to handle exception cases in which a driver needs to pause and resume a trip that’s normally handled within a shift.

  • TTESUITE-208140
    In the Trip Planner, when using the TTS50 setting [.NetOperations]TripPlannerAutoAddFinalEMT=Y, if the user added a backhaul trip to a driver, the system was correctly removing the EMT that was originally added and replacing it with the backhaul. However, it was still extending the shift for the driver as if there was an EMT after the backhaul (added) trip.
