PC*MILER|Rail 15 – Tech Alert (9/8/08)

The patch contains:

  • Reserve, LA was updated to geocode to its correct location.
  • For Windows XP users, in Interactive when trying to print the Detailed Report the crash was fixed
    and corrected.
  • In PC*MILER|Rail-Connect:
    • When using an invalid TripID, or using a deleted trip and calling AddStop, the intermittent crash was fixed and corrected.
    • When comparing a small group of routes run in PC*MILER|Rail-Connect and in Interactive, the minor differences in mileage
      have been fixed and corrected.
  • In PC*MILER|Rail-TCP/IP:
    • If one creates a trip with PCRSNewTrip or if a trip is referenced that has already been deleted or does not otherwise
      exist, the potential TCP/IP server crash was fixed and corrected.
    • After passing several calls to the TCP/IP Server that return error code -307 "Invalid place name (city/state or geocode not found)", the server would crash and did not create a new trip.  This issue was fixed and corrected.
    • When the total number of sessions against the TCP/IP server reaches between 3,961 and 3,966 transactions, the server
      will no longer receive connections for a short period of time.  Attempts to connect to the server are refused. 
      This was occurring regardless of whether the transaction returned mileage or whether an error occurred. 
      This issue was fixed and corrected.
