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 2024.5, check that these requirements are met:

  • TMWSuite®
    You must be using TMWSuite V. 2024.5.

  • 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.

Enhancements

Company Profiles

Effective date option names changed (TTESUITE-207873)

These Billing Effective Date and Average Fuel Effective Date field options were renamed to better reflect their functionality.

Code Former name New name

A

Departure Last Stop

Departure Last Drop Stop

I

Departure First Stop

Departure First Pickup Stop

New effective date option added (TTESUITE-207876)

A new option, Departure Last Billable Stop (L), was added to the Billing Effective Date and Average Fuel Effective Date fields. Computing charges in TMW Operations or TMW Back Office will honor this new option value when finding the applicable tariffs.

This option only appears in TMW Operations when it is set from the company profile in TMWSuite.

Blended Minimum Quantity property added (TTESUITE-210477)

The Blended Minimum Quantity property is used to rate the minimum for mixed commodity classes.

Previously, this field was only available in TMWSuite File Maintenance. It is now available in the Billing/Credit tab of the Company Profiles window when you add [FileMaint]EnableCmpBlendedMinQty=Y to your TTS50.

eManifest

ACE/ACI updates (TTESUITE-209945)

These updates have been made as part of an overall enhancement:

  • The cover sheet for both ACE and ACI trips will now include the trailers assigned to the trip. (TTESUITE-209949)

  • When the new INI setting [EDIfilesave]358FollowUp353 is set, if the user chooses to export a 358 message, the user will be prompted to see if they also want to export a 353 message. (TTESUITE-209953)

  • This allows 358 Update messages to be generated for empty trips crossing the border. (TTESUITE-209957)

  • This adds a validation that the postal codes for the stops on an ACE and ACI trip are not left blank. (TTESUITE-209958)

  • Using the error descriptions from the Canadian and US web sites, we are giving more detailed descriptions of why an ACE or ACI manifest might be rejected by border customs. (TTESUITE-209963)

Trip Folder

Delay Hours column in TMW Operations (TTESUITE-209086)

This adds the stp_delayhours column to the Stops grid in the Trip Folder as column StopDelayHours.

TruETA

Only send TruETA Modify trip calls when the Stop list has changed (TTESUITE-208744)

Added logic to make the Workcycle process more efficient. Logic now looks for changes to key features of the trip to see if a Modify statement needs to be sent. Process will still recalculate ETA projections based on HOS changes every time.

Resolved issues

EDI

  • TTESUITE-209982
    When copying an order that has a value in the ord_edistate field, the new order will always have a zero in that field.

Profit and Loss

  • TTESUITE-208871

If you add a pay detail manually, the system now sets the pay detail’s currency according to the currency associated with these sources, in this order, if available:

  1. The asset’s Pay To

  2. The asset itself

  3. The pay type

Previously, these sources were not considered.

Trip Folder

  • TTESUITE-210240
    This fixes an error when a trip is locked by another user in the Trip Folder that locks down the ability to edit the Additional Equipment and the order Reference Numbers.

  • TTESUITE-210259
    This fixes the application forcing a trailer to be assigned for a Hook event when the only asset assigned is a non-board carrier. We don’t track trailer assignments for non-board carriers.
