Schedule: Fixes and Improvements

The general stability and reliability of Schedule have been improved since the last version. In addition, the following improvements have been made:

• Staging memory usage and performance for large sets of transports has been improved.

• The merge of pipeline batches from Imports has been improved so that rules are applied to the current pipeline contents and not to an average over time. For example, if there is a rule specifying that sweet crudes are to go to Tank1 and sour crudes go to Tank2, and the pipeline switches from the sweet crude batch to the sour crude batch, the rule now sees the pipeline content correctly and not as a blend of the two crudes.

• Unit flows now have a new Average Total Flow Rate column in Tabular. This is calculated as Total Flow for Period / Total Duration of Period.

• Assay data is shared between Plan and Schedule to reduce load times and align crude property information. In rare cases, in previous versions of USC, this sharing might not refresh the data when cut points were updated in Schedule. This has been fixed.

• Paste performance of large data sets to Tabular tables has been significantly improved. Users are able to observe it as up to a ten times reduction in time when pasting data to Tabular.

• Using the Excel Add-in, in certain cases containing null values, it was not possible to delete an Import/Export row. This has been fixed.
