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).

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.

  • TMW Back Office
    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®

    • 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.

    Certified with PC*MILER v.37

  • TruETA Preplanning
    You must have these Trimble Web Products and modules installed:

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.
