SC Navigator 25.1.1

Date January 9, 2025

• New Features

  • Previously, every SC Navigator user had access to 1 solver. As of Monday January 6th 2025, we introduced Hyperscaling, which means that every user has access to 25 solvers at the same time. Instead of processing scenarios one-by-one (sequentially), multiple scenarios are now solved in parallel, significantly saving users time and boosting productivity when solving multiple scenarios at the same time. You can read more about Hyperscaling in this blog post.

• Improvements

  • In the previous version, a user was not allowed to load a Results dataset that was created when the user had access to more modules than currently are allowed. This is now allowed without any restrictions, unless it contains data for attributes that are no longer allowed. In those cases, you will still be able to load the data, but you are not able to run and/or save it again.

  • The documentation has been updated to include detailed instructions on How to customize your Login page?.

  • Data validation is added to make sure that a ‘Default/Base UOM’ is given when multiple units are used in the input data.

  • Data validation is added to make sure that Product and UOM combinations used in the Bill Of Material, have an unit conversion specified.

  • The ‘Save’ buttons are renamed to ‘Save As’, to better match their functionality.

  • The System Configuration app is by default only available for the Admin user. When other users were assigned access to it, these rights would be reset (removed) after a new release of the System Configuration app. Now, these rights are transferred to the new version of the app.

• Bug Fixes

  • Circular dependencies in the Bill of Material data previously caused a fatal data validation error saying that the Capacity data is too large. This is resolved and circular dependencies now only trigger the warning about circular dependencies.

  • In the Data Navigator application, selecting a dataset from the Dataset Overview table and pressing the ‘Load Selected Dataset’ button will no longer result in an error.

  • The Infeasibility Analysis was not working correctly in combination with the new Solve in Background option turned on. Now the Infeasibility Analysis page correctly becomes visible with the results when viewed using the Overview of Solutions dialog.

  • An input dataset that was saved, after a results dataset was saved, was not correct. It contained only very limited amount of data, and reading it in, would lead to data validation errors, that were not present before.

  • In some rare cases with multiple production facilities at one location and inventory build up, the production cost could not be correct, and too much cost was assigned to the System Cost.
