General Enhancements

The following general enhancements have also been made to the product:

The mechanism for storing password related parameters has been improved to make this more secure.

Warning

Please note that the Scheduling Workbench parameter 'ExternalSystemUserPassword' and the Resource Planning Service parameter 'WebServicePassword' (used for resource planner broadcasts) are both affected by this change. As a result, any customers using these parameters will need to re-enter the correct parameter values after upgrading to the 6.1 version.

HTM Improvements

The 6.1 version includes changes to support an updated format for Hierarchical Travel Matrices (HTMs). This new format significantly reduces the size of the HTM databases, and also improves performance when reading from the database.

An updated HTM for UK and Ireland is being made available with the 6.1 release, and further HTM updates are expected in due course.

Unavailability Interrupt

It is now possible to specify in the Resource Planner whether an unavailability (private activity) should be able to interrupt a splittable activity or not. This is specified on the unavailability category.
