Changes made to Task drivers
Digital Headend Backup Task
Support for Transis in the Transis Loop of a D9600 Series device
A "Backup Needed" message of the Transis will trigger the backup of the section the Transis belongs to.
An "Input Loss" and "TS Sync Loss" message on the Transis Loop Input of the D9600 Series device will trigger the backup of the section the D9600 Series device belongs to.
"Fatal Error" trigger for D9600 Series and Pegasus devices
The "Fatal error - internal malfunction" error with severity level "Major" on a D96xx or Pegasus can be used as a trigger to backup the section the device belongs to. Whether to use it as a trigger or not can be configured in the GUI.
"Outgoing Stuffing Rate Threshold Exceeded" trigger for D9640 device
The "Outgoing Stuffing Rate Threshold Exceeded" error on a D9640 can be used as a trigger to backup the section the device belongs to. The trigger fires only if there is no Input Loss on the QPSK input and no FEC Sync Loss. Whether to use it as a trigger or not can be configured in the GUI.
"RF Output switched off" trigger for D963x and D964x devices
The "RF Output switched off" error with severity level "Major" or "Critical" on a D963x or D964x can be used as a trigger to backup the section the device belongs to.
Support for visualization of "Inactive" and "Backup" devices
If the "Inactive" or "Backup" state of a device is changed by the task (due to backup or restore actions), this change will be visible in the ROSA maps.
Bug fix on D963x and D964x device backup.
If a D963x or D964x device was backed up (manually or automatically) and the RF Frequency of the QAM Output of the backup unit differed from the frequency of the main unit, during 10 to 15 seconds, a carrier was generated on the frequency of the backup unit. This could disturb a channel that also used this frequency.
The GUI status of a Processing Section containing a D963x or D964x device was not correctly displayed.
SI Editor
Default settings if ARIB mode is active
"Japanese" is default language in the language combo box.
"Japan" is default country in the country combo box

SNMP Agent
Bug fix: the SNMP Agent Task can now be remotely upgraded on Copernicus MKIV G3 and G4.
The CopMsgNew trap is extended with 2 additional trap variables: trpMsgResourceID and trpMsgParameter.
Bug fix: The SNMP Agent task could fall in an intermediate, non created state. Start and Stop button did not give any result.
Web Server Task
Bug fix: an installation problem is solved.
Bug fix: an image generation problem is solved.
Changes made to Component drivers
SDH Backbone Model
Support for paths with "Ring Wrapping"
With paths on rings, it is now also possible to drop in the same node as where the signal is added for the path. This can be done by selecting AddDrop for the node and indicate a different add and drop slot (in the past those two were forced to the same slot in case of AddDrop).
Bug fix:"Downgrade and upgrade driver"
After downgrading and upgrading this driver, the Copernicus application became unstable. This has been fixed.
SNMP Profile Manager
Internal support added for
"MaxVbPerPdu" keyword in the Identification section of the DIO file.
"Filters" section in the DIO file.
Macro
It is possible to drag and drop a macro preset onto the ROSA maps. The bitmap of the macro will change depending on its execution status (running or completed).
Server Backup
Bug fix: If a network backup failed because of network failures, a subsequent backup would fail because the "NewBackup" directory still existed. This has been fixed.
Changes made to SNMP Device drivers
D9850
The Current Program is stored in the configuration file as well. When backing up a D9850 device, the Current Program will also be written to the backup device.
When backing up a device, the active preset of the backup device will be used to store the settings of the main device. Consequently, the "PresetNr" in the "D9850BackupPar.atl" file is not supported anymore.
ML350_G3
This profile can be used to monitor both the HP ML350 G3 and G4.
Orbiter
Phoenix
The amount of data transferred between the GUI and the Server has been reduced.
Prisma DT
Support for DS1-card and SNMP manager settings has been added.
Prisma IP 10GbE PTP
The TDP protocol can now only be enabled on the 10 GbE port, not on the GbE ports.
Extended information for the Restart Mode is displayed in a tooltip on the GUI.
ROSA EM Proxy driver
Superfluous tracing has been removed.
The driver will automatically resynchronise its inventory upon receiving a warmStart trap.
Optimized the ROSA EM inventory synchronisation between the ROSA EM device and ROSA NMS, will take less time o
ROSA EM Backup visualisation : a unit in backup or taken over by backup will be colored on the maps
ROSA EM Maintenance state visualisation : a unit which is put in maintenance will be colored in the ROSA maps and ROSA explorer
Transfer of ROSA NMS security settings to the ROSA EM : the security keys "General Configuration", "Logging In" and "Limited Configuration" will be mapped to ROSA EM user privelege levels. This require a ROSA EM embedded software version higher than 3.0.25
D9224
Now, this driver also runs on ROSA DCS.
Changes made to ROSA EM Device drivers
ROSA EM Router drivers
The ROSA EM Router drivers will try to retrieve as many crosspoints, source names and destination names from the router as exposed by ROSA EM, even if the number of exposed sources and destinations (from the devtype) is smaller than the number of destination and sources configured in that devtype.
Changes made to ROSA
Support to archive messages to text files
In the message maintenance options, a new option can be enabled to archive all non pending messages to compressed text files. The message zip files are stored in the Copernicus\Data directory
Support for Dashed and Dotted Lines in Maps
Lines in maps can now have different styles. There are dashed and dotted line styles. Select "Properties" in the right-click menu to configure them.
Group objects in Maps can be scaled
When grouping different objects in a map, it is handled as one object. In the past, such an object could not be scaled.
During unit selection for security configuration, a location filter can be applied
Certain security items can be enabled or disabled on a resource level. This can be hard when having many resources on different locations. A display filter can now be used during the selection of these resources.
Maps are compressed when synchronizing them to the master Copernicus
Before maps are transferred to the master Copernicus, they are compressed to possibly lower the necessary network traffic in case the Copernicus is a remote server.
Added key combination for the "To Back" action on Maps
When selecting an object in a map (rectangle, circle, etc.) and pressing the key combination "Ctrl+Minus", the object will be moved to the background. In the past you could only do this via the menu option.
New color indications
The View-Options dialog has been extended with three additional colors: Backup, Maintenance and Inactive. Use of these colors propagates throughout the user interface (icons in ROSA Explorer, ROSA Map Explorer and ROSA Maps, GUI's of unit and components).
Bug fix:"Message query on folder with many units and subfolders failed"
When there are over 1000 units (possibly with many ports) that are arranged in one folder in ROSA, there was a problem when opening a message viewer on that folder. The database server would truncate the lengthy message query and a message is shown in ROSA saying "Error getting messages".
Bug fix:"ROSA incorrectly restores its position when using multiple monitors"
When shutting down and restarting ROSA, the window position is now correctly restored. This was not always the case when using multiple monitors.
Bug fix:"Users who don’t have edit-right on a map can't zoom"
If the logged on user had no rights to edit a certain map, he could not zoom around on the map. This has been fixed.
Bug fix:"Multiple reboot situations when license expires"
After a reboot notification from Copernicus, the expired licenses info is cleared in all connected ROSA Clients (in of case server unreachable checking off), so no new reboot is forced.
New License Policy
New since build 6 but also applicable for build 11: all drivers need a license key. Due to this the following can happen:
You have a good working server running ROSA/Copernicus software of a previous build.
You upgrade the server to ROSA/Copernicus v3.0 Build 6
You have drivers installed that didn't require a license key in the previous builds but...
Now the server generates a warning message that your license file is old and that the license for some drivers will expire within 180 days.
What to do?
Contact our
Customer Services to convert your license
file. The license keys for the drivers that
didn't have a license before and that you
could manage with your old license file will
be added without any additional cost.
Remark: This procedure only applies to
customers with an old license file (this is
a license file generated before build 6).

Performance improvements
Headend Model Component (V3.0.9)
Digital Service Model support: the user can capture and synchronize the services and transport stream data from the Pegasus. This information is stored in the database and updated at run-time based on the status of the transport stream. Services and transport streams can be dropped on the maps. The status of the services and transport streams is determined by the logic in the Digital Head End Probe component.
Group-wise equipment manager (V3.0.3)
Multiple table view : one or more tables can be (de)selected for multiple units
Support for tables with dynamic row creation: rows can be easily added either directly to the devices or in the GUI

Driver installation/uninstallation
Improved feedback during driver installation. Improved feedback on a failed driver installation.
Uninstalling multiple drivers is now possible
Maps
Grippers of bitmaps are now positioned around the bitmap itself, this should ease graphical positioning of the devices
When you hover with the mouse over a dropped resource you get a tool tip with some information about the resource
The predefined map sizes are extended with "A3 Landscape" and "A3 Portrait"
Possibility to change the size of a dropped resource to the default drop size
Message viewer enhancements
A toolbar with action buttons is now available on top of the message viewer
Configurable menu: the right-click menu can be configured to point to external web-sites.
Pending messages can be full line colored
Repetitive alarm suppression
The standard rule "Suppress repetitive alarms" can be activated
Toggling alarms will be logged in a compressed way: the observation period, count and summary information will be shown. Every alarm is monitored within a user configurable observation period.
Alarm correlation domains
The iLynx alarm correlation engine will perform a root cause analysis for iLynx 6U and iLynx 1U backbone networks. Superfluous messages will be hidden for the user. The root cause message is shown under the SDH backbone model component.
New License Policy
New since build 6 but also applicable for build 8: all drivers need a license key. Due to this the following can happen:
You have a good working server running ROSA/Copernicus software of a previous build.
You upgrade the server to ROSA/Copernicus v3.0 Build 6
You have drivers installed that didn't require a license key in the previous builds but...
Now the server generates a warning message that your license file is old and that the license for some drivers will expire within 180 days.
What to do?
Contact our Customer Services to convert
your license file. The license keys for
the drivers that didn't have a license
before and that you could manage with
your old license file will be added
without any additional cost.
Remark: This procedure only applies to
customers with an old license file (this
is a license file generated before build
6).
