Release 4.501 February 24, 2015 barney

Includes database changes you'll need to log all terminals out during upgrade

Main feature in this release is Online unit detail fetch.  Type in rego number or VIN number and c9 will retrieve colour/rego expiry/vin/type/color/engine no etc.  Currently only works for bikes registered in Victoria.  If other state bodies (or suppliers) provide query tools, c9 can hook into these as well.

unitlookup

Other changes:

  • Units
    • Select customer unit, ability to order or filter units by rego number. Useful for dealers that service large fleets, i.e. delivery/postie bikes.
    • Unit rego number lookup behaves like part numbers,  case insensitive and ignores dashes and spaces. i.e. AB-123 is same as AB123, same as AB 123
    • VicRoads rego query, as per above
  • Other/System
    • Recent database updates caused problems for a couple of dealers.  Upgrade process could fail and leave database damaged if user tried to update c9 on two terminals simultaneously.  Generally rare, though a recent update conditions of this problem were reasonably likely to happen. Made changes so c9 enforces strict database locking and checking before proceeding with upgrade so terminals can verify whether or not an upgrade is already in progress and whether or not another terminal may of already performed the upgrade
