Performance improvements for v15
Why wait...
In version 15 we have improved various areas in the code to optimize performance. These performance improvements will typically be most noticeable on larger systems. But even on smaller projects, things will feel much smoother.
Improvements
Openings Dialogs
Various dialogs containing long dropdown lists or list views has been improved in terms of opening speed.
More specifically you can expect improved performance in: Shelve/Inhibit Alarms dialogs, State and Commands property page, Alarm Texts dialog, Edit Alarm dialog, the Object Browser dialog and the Font toolbar.
Filling Property Table View
Filling up datatables in Property Table View can time consuming for large configurations. In version 14 filling the OPC table was greatly improved, and in version 15 we have improved the performance opening the Property Table View for Alarms.
Loading Project
Various modules load the IGSS Project. So improving the load time here improves the startup time of the entire system, including features like Online Update.
Check and Deploy
Check and Deploy also loads the project, but various other aspect of the code has been optimized as well.
