DPA Platform

New Features and Improvements

1. Added settings for finding suitable scheduling times for jobs in the Planning module. Two search options are currently available: “Start no earlier than” and “Start at a specific time”.
2. Added the “Allow downtime classification for the previous period, hours” setting for supervisors and operators. It limits the classification period to the specified value, with a default of 12 hours. The behavior of the “Downtime Classification” permission has also been changed: it now allows downtime classification regardless of whether the user is a supervisor or operator and regardless of the configured classification period. Supervisors and operators do not require the “Downtime Classification” permission and can classify downtime within the period specified by the setting above.
3. Added a dedicated error message when scheduling using process plans with unspecified standard times.
4. Implemented internal improvements to the “Signals” module and improvements related to client-side event models.
5. Implemented internal improvements and optimizations to reduce technical debt. Removed the unnecessary downtime cache to optimize memory usage.

API Changes

The following deprecated API endpoints have been removed:

1. POST /api/dpa/getServerTransports/{serverName}

Bug Fixes

1. Operator Workplace: fixed an issue where other operators’ shifts could be closed when more than one personal shift was open at a work center.
2. Added validation for the “Quantity” column when scheduling across multiple work centers to prevent scheduling when the quantity is not specified.
