System Inventory Portal – What’s New

As changes are made to the portal they will be communicated in this document. Every week the portal is updated and pushed to production to go-live for our customers. Keep in mind, there are weeks when the portal is updated, however the changes are behind the scenes/internal and not something that can be shown to our customers (e.g. code changes to the way the database operates), thus there would not be any update in this documents for that week. This document will only cover changes that are visible to the customer, or outline a process change in the way the portal is used.

4. Added a Contract Manager’s Comments text box, which is also now part of the contract renewal email

customers receive.

5. C200/300 controller I/O data from L1 audits now populates in the portal In the past the “Series A I/O” and “Series C I/O” buttons were grayed out when the data was not populated; this is resolved.


Release Update – April 26, 2019

1. Experion PKS R500 and later now have an XML file that includes information customers/field reps may need for

the customer systems. Users can now download/view these .XML files from the Software License area of the System Inventory Portal.


Release Update – April 01, 2019

1. Support status for software products has been enhanced to reflect Current, Supported, or Phased-Out.

2. (Non-Customer facing change) Added ability to edit/add/delete ` renewal line items. This change is not something customers would see in the portal; however, it was a change that was needed on Honeywell’s end to improve customer support. When CR Line items are not included in the Contract Renewal Header, the Honeywell Asset Support Team needed the ability to add CR line items that are associated to a particular CR header.

They also needed the ability to add the MSID, SESP Model Number, Current Qty, and Renewal Qty value. When the SESP Model number was selected, it is now populated in the Item Description Field.

The ability for the Asset Support Team to manually enter CRLI and have the ability to remove these CR line items when they are no longer needed was added.

3. (Non-Customer facing change) While in the CR Header view, it is now easy to identify MSIDs that are not to be included in a contract renewal. When the Submit button is selected, the CRLI below in the CR Header view will reflect the MSIDs that are going to be included in the renewal. The cloning process will now pull in all the associated MSIDs even if the MSID was excluded the previous year.


4. "Platform" is now included in the Customer view of the Renewal Worksheet views


Release Update – March 01, 2019

1. Links in the top of the page have been changed from red to blue for easier reading

resolved

4. Resolved issue of strange characters appearing in the hardware view of the servers


5. Resolved an issue where the IO button was not displaying data for EHPM/HPM in the portal.

renewal quantity is different, or a list of all items.


2. Wording on the Notifications area has been updated to reflect the new support statuses of Full Support, Legacy and Phased-out. In late 2018, “Primary” and “Secondary” were combined to “Full Support”

3. Notifications in the right side of the page have been resized to take up less space to allow for more inventory data screen space.


Release Update – Feb 1, 2019

4. Corrected the issue where the HLPIU was listed multiple times and should only be one HIWAY device

5. All Module Type and IOM type information from an L1audit in the XML file is now captured and displayed

entries.

1. ELCN assets are now displayed in the portal.


2. Missing C200 and C300 Controller I/O data has been added to certain fields, and MAC ID address column has been removed.

• C300 - Series C I/O Type and Revision is now populated (see image 1) • C200 - Series A I/O Type, DL CNI Slot, Boot now display correct data (see image 2) • C200 - MAC ID column has been removed as the System Inventory Tool no longer collects this information.

(see image 2)



1. Two new fields MODN and FILEN were added to EHPM in the Portal. Honeywell’s Enhanced High Performance

Process Manager (EHPM) is a process-connected device on the Enhanced Universal Control Network (EUCN) that provides regulatory control and sequence operations. It enables unification of control functions and data

exchange between devices on the Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE)-based EUCN to help users improve operations and control performance.

2. Remote I/O data is now displayed under Controllers


3. Audit or LVRLOG file that contains an ENB will now appear in the portal.

4. Topology view has been updated to correctly show the number of C300 controllers.

5. Parent assets with status of “Obsolete” will no longer appear in the Contract Renewals.

6. The Product Status field has been removed from switch inventory data fields as this did not apply to switches.

7. The LCNP address in the Honeywell Applications screen is now displayed. This will allow a user to match up the ESVT or EST or ACET or EAPP with the corresponding device found in the LCN node section. Displaying the LCNP address in either Hardware or Software will help tie the two items together being that often the computer name

will not refer to the LCN address.


8. The Microsoft Updates & Hot Fixes button has been removed. It was determined that this data was not needed, and by removing it the time required to collect asset data has been reduced.

9. Pairing of Redundant assets is now consistent with the pairing of the C300 controllers. NIMAs, Experion Servers,

ENBs, Logic Manager, etc. are now paired in the same way C300 controllers are paired.

10. EAPP's are now identified as "Experion APP"

11. HW and SW Buttons have been added to the LCN Node list view on the EST-XX type nodes
