DIS 2.30
New features
IDE
Protocol solutions will now by default have a Documentation folder [ID 27596]
When you create a new protocol solution or convert an existing protocol to a protocol solution, from now on, a “Documentation” folder will automatically be added to the solution.
In this folder, you can store all information about the protocol in question.
Broken references to DataMiner DLLs will now automatically be detected and fixed [ID 27604]
When it creates a QAction project, DIS will look for the DataMiner DLLs in the C:\Skyline DataMiner\ folder. If it does not find them there, it will check the DIS extension folder. However, the name of that folder is a unique ID that differs from one installation to another and from one update to another. As a result, a QAction project can easily contain broken DLL references.
From now on, when DIS detects a broken DLL reference, it will automatically try to update the path to that DLL.

XML Schema
Protocol Schema: Miscellaneous updates [ID 27564][ID 27566][ID 27709][ID 27772]
The Protocol XML schema has been updated.
- The visibleInUI attribute has been removed from Protocol.PortSettings (i.e. the port settings of the main connection). This attribute is now only available in Protocol.Ports.PortSettings (i.e. the port settings of the additional connections).
- The backup attribute has been removed from Protocol.Params.Param.
- PortSettings.FlowControl.DefaultValue, PortSettings.FlowControl.Range.From and PortSettings.FlowControl.Range.To can now all be set to “no”.
- Protocol.Params.Param.Interprete.Exceptions.Exception.Display is now of type non-empty string.
UOM Schema: New units added [ID 27568]
The following units have been added to the UOM Schema:
- mV/deg C/Cell (millivolt per degree Celsius per Cell)
- Flashes/s (flashes per second)
- Streams (streams)
- Channels (channels)
Changes
Enhancements
Validator: Enhanced endless loop check [ID 27554]
Up to now, in some cases, false positives could be raised when there was an Action of type “make” or “crc” and a trigger on the related command.
Also, when a (potential) endless loop is detected, from now on, the result of the check will contain the protocol implementation path rather than the DataMiner processing order path.
Validator - Major Change Check: Miscellaneous enhancements [ID 27720]
A number of enhancements have been made to the Major Change Check functionality.
The following error will no longer be raised for parameters that are not available in SLElement.
