• Greatly improved rebuilt-mast speeds in both foxpro and sql

• Rebuild mast in SQL now uses server-side scripts which eliminate bandwidth problems

• Fix error which resulted in deleting a 4data instance from maintain/4data if the windows 4data program was running.

• Prevent multiple occurances of import/4data from running. If someone else is running import/4data, the program now notifies you and prevents the overlap.

• Correct an obscure bug in calculate overtime.

• Correct errors in finding Hourly Ratings resulting from “overlapping” employee numbers (1001 and 1001E, the system would occasionally return an hourly rating for 1001E when searching for ratings for 1001. This sub-string-match error has been corrected.)

• Greatly improve speed (foxpro and sql) for “Remove inactive jobs from 4data devices” and “Remove Inactive employees from 4data devices”

• Fix bug in EXPORT routine for reports which prevented exported files from being saved in any folder other than the GAT folder. Fixed.

• Sometimes, when changing companies in Gat2, the previous company was not entirely closed. Therefore, standard practice became to exit the program and re-start. This has been corrected and changing companies both in Foxpro and SQL is now reliable.

Update process:

This update requires modifications to the data-dictionary.

We will want to make an appointment for running a data-dictionary comparison against your existing DD before installing this update so that your changes (labels, pick lists, etc) can be preserved.

SQL users will have an ADDITONAL STEP to ensure that the new server-side scripts are installed and operational.

The update process should take less than an hour. You will need to ensure that no one is using GAT during the process, and that you have excellent and fully-up-to-date backups before beginning the update process.

Please contact the TBC Software VocShop support agents to schedule your update.
