Batch Application Creation

Batch Application creation via the med.exe command line is now fully headless and no longer interacts with the Windows Desktop.
This enables execution within CI/CD and DevOps pipelines using non-interactive services (e.g., the RED Scheduler).
Additional changes:

  • Error and warning dialogs are suppressed.
  • All messages are redirected to the standard error stream for capture by the calling process.
  • Exit codes remain unchanged.

Scheduler Installation and Upgrade Process

Scheduler installation and upgrade should be smoother. Extra Users have reported that the installation of the WhereScape Scheduler is prone to errors. To address this concern extra validation checks on user the users inputs during installation have been included to better inform when invalid information has been entered. The aim is to immediately highlight to users when they have input invalid information.

3D Export to RED

Less manual steps are required Post-load scripts & procedures are now automatically generated during the 3D Export to RED process. UI configured column properties are also included when Exporting from 3D to RED.

Enablement Pack Installation

  • Fixes that enhance the installation process of enablement packs have been added.

Usability Improvements

Script Execution

Updated script execution behavior in the RED UI:

  • All script files are now written to disk using UTF-8 encoding by default.
  • PowerShell scripts executed on Windows now include a Byte Order Mark (BOM), ensuring compatibility with PowerShell 5.x.

Previously, interactive script execution used ANSI encoding, which caused inconsistencies between the RED UI and the Scheduler. This could lead to execution failures when scripts contained accented or non-standard characters.
The RED Scheduler Plugin for Azkaban has been aligned with this behavior and now also adds a BOM to PowerShell scripts executed on Windows
