zenon 8.20 Builds 70282, 79336, 80198, 80611 and 81129 are rejected

Hello!

We want to inform you about an incompatibility in the Recipe Group Manager (RGM) in zenon 8.20 Build 70282, 79336, 80198, 80611 and 81129. A Bug was detected which causes the RGM recipes of the affected builds to be no longer compatible with recipes stored using Builds outside of this range. This means an Editor or a Runtime with a Build other than 70282, 79336, 80198, 80611 and 81129 can’t read the recipes stored under these builds, doing so you will encounter recipes to be greyed out.
COPA-DATA decided to reject affected builds to avoid more customers getting affected.

What do you have to do if you are using the affected zenon 8.20 Builds 70282, 79336, 80198, 80611 and 81129:
  • If you don’t use Recipe Group Manager your system will not be negatively affected. You may keep working with the above mentioned builds. Nevertheless we recommend upgrading to a newer build.
  • If you use Recipe Group Manager you should upgrade to the next 8.20 Build 82266 or following builds. Build 82266 is currently in testing phase and to be released next week, April 26.

What to consider when upgrading from an affected Build to 8.20 Build 82266 or higher or to a newer zenon version like zenon 10:
  1. Install 8.20 Build 82266 or higher on Editor and on Runtime side
  2. Read back the RGM recipes from Runtime to the Editor. Hint: Ensure that the decompile flag is disabled in the project settings
  3. XML export all recipe groups and XML Import them after. This will correct the structuring of the recipes and you can continue using those.
  4. Create and transfer the Runtime files – Hint: Ensure that the “don’t create runtime files” flag is disabled in the project settings




If you can’t read back the recipes to the Editor for any reason you can also apply the following steps (Runtime only approach):
  1. Install 8.20 Build 82266 or higher on Runtime side
  2. XML export all recipe groups from the Runtime and reimport them
  3. Save the recipe groups


Kind regards,
Markus Helbok
