Warnings

Social Security number encryption warning

Starting in version 2020.2, Social Security numbers you enter in the Driver profile are encrypted in the database by default.
However, you can set up the system so that the Social Security numbers you enter in the Driver profile are not encrypted in the database.
To do so, set the DataEncryption General Info Table setting’s String1 field to N.

The Data Conversion Administration Utility lets you encrypt/decrypt a group of Social Security numbers in your database. Contact your Professional Services representative to obtain the DataConversionAdministrationUtilityInstall.msi.

Access and usage of The Data Conversion Administration Utility should only be provided to a system administrator. That utility provides access to all highly sensitive data and should only be used in the explicit instance of needing to encrypt or decrypt the driver profile.

Cancel order/trip feature warning

Starting in version 2020.1, the user interface for the cancel order/trip functionality has changed. Several enhancements were made to make the process easier and more intuitive. Also, the same Cancel Trip/Order window is now used in both Order Entry and in the Trip Folder.
For more information, see Canceling an order in version 2020.1 and later.

User level record security

Starting with TMW Operations version 2019.1, there is a functional change that will affect customers using custom views on Company Planner, Brokerage, or Covering boards that rely on User Level Record Security. Affected customers may need to contact Support for assistance before upgrading. See the User level record security resolved issue for details.

Minimum technical requirements for 17.50 or higher warning

To upgrade from a build lower than 17.50 to 17.50 or higher, you must follow these steps.

  1. Notify your Support team that you will upgrade. (As noted in Step 4, they will need to work with you to complete the installation process.)

  2. Verify that your environment adheres to these minimum technical requirements:

    • Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.6.2 must be installed.

    • Client operating systems must be at Windows 7 SP1 or higher.

    • Server operating systems must be at Windows Server 2012 or higher.

    • In addition, verify that your system adheres to the additional requirements listed in the General requirements section for the build you are upgrading to.

  3. Run the TMW Operations installation program.

  4. Before any users attempt to use TMW Operations, call your Support representative to have them update your Planning Worksheet boards.

Trimble Transportation has added columns to the system default Planning Worksheet views to enhance the inline editing feature. These columns also must be added to all custom views. Support will perform this step for you at no cost.

Case sensitive passwords warning

Starting with V.17.50, the system treats all passwords as case sensitive. This includes existing passwords.

This change affects how you log in with an existing password:

  • If your password was created with [Misc]CaseSensitivePasswords=OFF in your TTS50, you must enter that password in all upper case characters.

  • If your password was created with [Misc]CaseSensitivePasswords=ON in your TTS50, you can enter that password as you originally recorded it (case sensitive).

    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.

Enhancements

RateWareFgtSource General Info Table setting

Setting option available for computing invoice details (TTESUITE-205785)

You can now use the RateWareFgtSource General Info Table setting with TMW Operations and TMW Back Office.

Neither application supports the ANY option.

Repair Order window

Add Repair Order functionality from TMWSuite (TTESUITE-203764)

The Repair Order window is a part of the Tank Wash program, which is a TMT Fleet Maintenance and TMWSuite Integration. This had previously only been available to use in the TMWSuite - Dispatch application. Now, this functionality of the Repair Order window has been added in the Trip Folder of TMW Operations.

Tender Evaluation

Tender Evaluation integration in TMW Operations (TTESUITE-207164)

Tender Evaluation is to assist carriers in evaluating if an order is a good fit for their business operations. The Tender Evaluation functionality has been integrated with the EDI Planning Worksheet in TMW Operations. Tender Evaluation will use a carrier’s historical data as well as current operating conditions and will help in selecting an order.

Tolls

View toll data in TMW Operations (TTESUITE-206632)

Previously, toll costs for stops were not visible in the Trip Folder in TMW Operations. Now, a new Toll Cost column can be added using Screen Designer into the Stops grid in Trip Folder. Furthermore, a Toll Cost field for the order header can also be added to the Trip Folder layout and will display the total Toll Costs for the order.

TruETA

Capture additional information from TruETA estimates (TTESUITE-208335)

Capture the Status and actual Arrival/Departure times returned from TruETA in the TMW database.

Resolved issues

Mileage

  • TTESUITE-208318
    Fixed a bug in SQL retrieving cached Mileages from the MileageTable. Logic was automatically changing the sign of the Company Longitude. If the sign was already negative, this caused the Longitude to become positive and could cause the logic to not find the record in the Cache (when the cache had a negative longitude). Updated the logic to change the sign only when the longitude is not already negative on the Company record.
