C9 Software

Release 4.29 October 5, 2010 barney

Prepartory release for c9 java. This version compiles for both clarion and java. Release primarily for spares POS beta testing
Work To Do

Miner RTF mail merging
Consoliate Java based docket printing solution - remove font selectors in setup (no longer necessary)
Add backup/restore
Add startup.jar
Add auto update
Add postgres browsing
Email attachments - cannot view - can save only on client side
PDF printing/sending - setup PDF so all pages appear in a single PDF document
Strip Apache Batik libs from java core

If you downgrade running C8 client - it will only pop up a window warning you of this. It will not try to rerun the upgrade
Bug on miner - print report - if you tab to generate button it will automatically generate
Bug in POS - can crash POS if you hit enter too quickly on opening POS
Bug in Setup - regen current units cache can fail due to duplicate entries matching same VIN
Bug in print preview - was incorrectly closing the window
Graphing stock history could throw div0 in some circumstances. I think clarion silently eats div0s where java will complain
Other misc bug fixes (do not remember exactly what)

Release 4.28 October 4, 2010 barney

Release 4.27 October 3, 2010 barney

Accounts - on payment - if system automatically puts component of payment into deposit allow user to enter in amounts in
90/60/40/current that will override deposit allocation

Release 4.26 October 2, 2010 barney

Release 4.25 October 1, 2010 barney

Account Payment - remember and always use period payment settings specified by user, instead of magically calculating them based on unpaid invoice listing
Account Payment - give user option to view and select specific invoices(s) to pay
Spares/Units/Workshop invoice - provide option to use deposit on invoice sales as well as cash sales. Use deposit amount only and preferentially use deposit amount to pay off newly created invoice in favour of older invoices
Units - tradein - use tradein 'payment' to preferentially pay off sale component of the transaction - as opposed to oldest unpaid account invoices

Release 4.24 September 30, 2010 barney

Bugfix - new tables were hardcoded to goto 'c8' DB instead of variable ODBCSource. Means running alternate c8 was unreliable

Release 4.23 September 29, 2010 barney

Fixed missing sequence on primary key for staff file
Fixed bug in workshop browse customer view jobs - would render unit description strangely under some circumstances (missing tracking of unitid in VIEW)
Re-enabled ability to take a deposit for account sales on units - even though deposit taking has no actual impact to the account
Bugfix - fixed problem with auto assignemnt of payments against invoices - was messing up payment period
Unit sales - permit entry of large notes block which is printed on the invoice

Release 4.22 September 28, 2010 barney

Added test at start of POS and after POS complete to verify that, logically, transaction should be been committed to database
Bugfix in orders. Possible on receiving order to setup system so that subsequent actions would never make it to the database even
though system thought that they did. (failure to commit/rollback an open transaction in receive orders
Bugfix in POS write invoice. Similar to bug above but less likely to occur (requires safeAdd to throw an error which it in theory never does

Release 4.21 September 27, 2010 barney

Debugging - added more debugging to POS to try and work out why it is periodically crashing
POS - setup POS to disable 5 second event loop timer used to poll for parts magician parts -
only enable timer when parts are outstanding.
Half baked theory that crashing issues may be connected to the timer

Release 4.20 September 26, 2010 barney

Significantly improved performance of opea export - x10
Modified OPEA import process to try and work through performance issues when lots of parts change.
I think this solution is slower when doing small changes but should hopefully provide better/more consistent
perofrmance when doing pricefile imports which involve many part changes. Uses server side stored procedure to
manage update merge/insert in a single go. Creates two cursors to walk DOPEA and master and effectively
implements a forced merge join algorithm to handle update merges
Bugfix with automated parts importing. Would stuff up with disccde + header was > 29 characters in length
Bugfix with email statements. Would mail about 10 or so then fail
Implemented biz activity ledgering and reporting - see biz activity functional specification
Implemented more sophisticated deposit management tools
Added biz activity accounting platform synchronization tracking - with initial integration support for quickbooks
Fixed browse behaviour bug with ordinv
Fix forder unique key bug with unitline
fix ordering of records on credit notes
bugfix with selling units - sometimes generating a 'duplicate key error'
Debugging - added ability to stream debug to debug.log file
Debugging - added debugging for POS screen to try to help figure out why it is crashing every now and then
