The following issues were detected prior to the beta release of Ignition 8.3. This is not an exhaustive list of known issues. Throughout the beta period we will keep this page updated as issues are addressed and as new issues are reported.
Drivers
Siemens S7+: Fix OpenSSL mismatch on Windows
With the latest updates to the third party libraries used for the Siemens and 61850 drivers, there is a conflict with the version of OpenSSL on Windows.
EAM & Redundancy
Unable to retry failed EAM tasks if at least one task succeeds
When running multiple On-Demand EAM tasks, if at least one task succeeds the user will be unable to retry any failed tasks. The user will need to delete the failed task, create a new task and run that task.
Disabling Gateway Network on Master also disables it on Backup
Disabling the Gateway Network on a Redundant Master also disables it on the Backup. This behavior is different than in 8.1. This will be corrected in a future release.
Unactivate license EAM agent task gets caught in waiting state
The Unactivate license EAM agent task can provide incorrect status when attempting to deactivate a license. This will be corrected in a future release.
Back up controller unable to see EAM agents
When users have a controller set up within a redundant pair, the backup controller is unable to see EAM agents before and after they have been approved on the master controller.
Users are able to create/select invalid controllers when setting up an agent
When setting up an EAM environment, users are able to create/select invalid controllers within the agent setup wizard.
No log messages appear when an EAM Edge Agent paired with a standard Gateway does not receive resources
If a user sends resources to a target project that doesn't exist on the Edge Gateway, it can't make a project to catch those resources like a standard Gateway can. While this is the intended behavior, there is no logging to indicate that anything happened.
Event Streams
Records can be lost from a buffer when an event stream is saved or disabled
If there are still records in an Event Stream buffer and a user saves or disables it, all of the records currently in the buffer will be dropped.
Event Stream scripting functions are not present in Project Library Script autocomplete
The system.eventstream scripting package is not visible in Project Library scripts. It is visible from other Gateway-scoped scripting areas like Gateway Event, Tag Event, and Perspective.
Historian
Historian Limit logger for "Error storing remote data set"
When storing History data to a remote Gateway, if the remote Gateway is disabled there will be a flood of messages written to the log. This will be corrected in a future release.
Remote Tags
Unable to use the Multi-Instance Creation wizard to create tags when using a remote tag provider
The Multi-Instance Creation Wizard does not work when using a remote tag provider. This will be corrected in a future release.
Reporting
Master Pages
This feature was initially targeted for 8.3.0, but was trimmed from scope. This will be added in a future release.
SECS/GEM
SECS/GEM Gateway pages are not present
SECS/GEM pages are not currently visible on the Gateway. These will be added in a future release.
Tags & UDTs
No records are being stored in in references.idb for System tags when Tag Reference Tracker is enabled in Gateway Settings
In the Tag Reference Tracker, System tags are not being handled properly. This will be corrected in a future release.
Some custom tag properties overwritten upon upgrade
If a user has created a Tag Custom Property name of valuePersistence or defaultValue, there will be issues with those properties, as there are now standard Tag properties with those names. In 8.3.0, these properties will be treated as standard properties, and the values that were assigned to those properties in 8.1.* will be overwritten with the default value of those properties in 8.3.0.
Web UI
Update response toasts are not properly displaying 422 messages
If users see a JSON object inside of an error dialog, it's likely due to this known issue.
GAN Incoming/Outgoing Connection page data polling
A polling rate issue causes some certificates to not update and require a page refresh. This polling rate will be increased in a future release.
Gateway displays the incorrect Gateway Name & edition logo before authentication
Before logging into the Gateway, the branding always displays the standard edition logo. Once logged in, all the branding of the Gateway is changed to the appropriate version.
OPC Quick Client
The OPC Quick Client is not included in the 8.3 beta release, but will be added in a future release.
Alarm Notifications VOIP - Manage Scripts page missing
The Manage Scripts functionality on Voice Notification Profiles is temporarily unavailable, and will be added back at a later release.
