Known issues:

The next release of MicroScope will automatically default to 15 seconds instead of 5.

Release Notes:

Normally, the record IDs assigned to the removed records are not available for re-use through the PPWB or AccessVision GUI.  And prior to this release, MicroScope used the same MAX(id) + 1 formula.  As a result, a server could prematurely run out of available port records.

MicroScope has now been modified to handle this as follows:

Before copying starts, MicroScope now looks for the lowest available port ID in the range 0-1023 (or 0-2047 for AIX) on the target host.  If the target database contains gaps, the lowest unused port ID will be assigned.  If no port IDs are available (meaning a maximum number of ports are allocated and no gaps were found) then Micro Copy will pop up a warning message and disable copying micros until a port ID on the target is freed.

Known issues:

April 2, 2004 - On Micro Purge, the "non-existent micro" picklist does not display the lowest numbered micro.  For instance, if there are 10 micros in the database whose config_online flag is NULL, only the last 9 will display.  This will be corrected in Release 1.4-10.  Thanks to Hans Bouwman who proved that it's not just green software that has defects.

Release Notes

Beginning with Picture Perfect 2.0, the GUIs enforce a 30-character limit to all description fields that had previously sized at 31 characters. MicroScope Release 1.4 adheres to this 30-character standard not only for Picture Perfect 2.0 but for 1.5.2, 1.5.5, and 1.7 as well. This change affects the maximum allowable lengths in the Micro Spare and Reader Descriptions applications.

MicroScope's Administrative tools are sometimes inaccessible through Squid proxy servers.  This problem is being investigated.  If you are experiencing problems accessing MicroScope through other proxy servers, please let us know the details and whether you have found a workaround (other than "directly through the Internet").
