MineMarket 5.5.3 Hot Fix 2 (February 2023)

• To use OAuth for email authentication, you need access to an Azure OAuth application. Connect to the Azure OAuth application via the Azure OAuth Configuration screen.

  Note: Any existing OAuth configuration needs to be reauthenticated after upgrading to this version.

• The Allow the user to maintain OAuth accounts security right in the Options user group security rights group controls whether users can edit settings in the Azure OAuth Configuration screen and sign in and out of email accounts that are used for OAuth email configuration in the Warehouse Settings screen and for email groups in the Alert Editor.

MineMarket 5.5.3 (November 2022)

User Interface

• Search profile functionality has been extended to the Lot Despatch Explorer, Supply Ship Explorer, Supply Train Explorer and Container Explorer. The Date Range selector and searching with F3 have been implemented on these explorers and the Batch Explorer. Search profile functionality has been fixed in billboards and billboard charts. See also Use Saved Search Profiles in MineMarket Explorers and Billboards.
• You can press F3 instead of clicking Search in any screen.
• When configuring a user group, you can specify which tabs in invoice screens display or are hidden for that user group, and in which order the tabs display. See Configure Form Tabs for a User Group.

Inventory Management and Tracking

• When adding a process flow to a production and demand plan, the default product source is Movement. See Specify Plan Stockpiles, Process Flows, Locations and Product/Brands.
• When configuring a packing process flow, you can specify whether to exclude the packing transactions from downstreaming. See Create a Packing Process Flow.

Transportation and Logistics

• Planned and actual berths at the loading and unloading route points can be recorded for service trips. See Enter Route Point Dates for a Service Trip.
• The barge can be changed for a Service Trip that has (un)loading information if the user has the Allow the user to change the barge after service trip loading security right. In this scenario, (un)loading information refers to loading or unloading plans, opening surveys, bulk transactions, discrete unit movements or delays. If the new barge has the same hold structure as the original barge, any (un)loading information is recreated for the matching holds of the new barge. If the barge has a different structure, any opening surveys must be deleted before the barge can be changed. If the new barge has only one hold, all (un)loading information is recreated for that hold. If the new barge has a different structure, the Barge Structure Mapping screen displays the holds of the original barge, and the user can select the new hold for each.
• The Train Explorer displays the consignment number of each train.
• The logic to determine despatch load states has changed. See Despatches - Common Activities.

Sales and Marketing

• For despatch orders with a closed status, any data related to the snapshot is read-only, including contract term overrides, bulk transactions, discrete unit movements, samples, certificates, assay exchanges, invoices, hedging allocations, and trades. See Status Definitions.
• You cannot change a despatch order status to a closed status if there is an unlocked invoice for the despatch order. This limitation also applies if a linked despatch order has an unlocked invoice and the linked despatch order status is synchronised. See View or Change Despatch Order Status.
• A despatch order can be split into multiple despatch orders. See Despatch Order Splitting.
• The credit line is only copied if the contract type and organisation are the same in the original and duplicate contracts. If they differ, the credit line is set to Use Organisation Default. See Duplicate a Contract.
• When entering a contract rate detail with a Rate Detail Basis of Demurrage/Despatch, the default Invoice Scope is Demurrage/Despatch Invoice. See Contract Rates.
• When creating a repurchase contract, the price is used to create fixed pricing for the repurchase contract as well as for the strike price if the open action is immediately hedged. Separate dates for the maturity date of the repurchase contract and the maturity date of the hedge position can be entered. See Create a Repurchase Contract.
• The Services table on the Costs tab of despatch order snapshots; repurchase actions in repurchase contracts; and quotas in sales or purchase contracts can be sorted.
• A setting on the Sales and Marketing tab of the Options screen controls whether costs and budgeted costs must have a unique combination of the Name, Rate Detail Basis and Type.
• The Due Date option has been removed from exchange rate methods in configuration of charts of accounts. See Set up a Chart of Accounts.
• When configuring an invoice revaluation stream, you can select whether to include prepayment invoices only if they have despatch activity. See Invoice Revaluation.

Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM)

• MineMarket only creates trades automatically for linked despatch orders if the despatch orders are for the same company. See Trades.
• For trades with a closed status, adjustments cannot be added, edited or cleared; and the profit and loss cannot be recalculated. See Status Definitions.

Reports and Billboards

• Scheduled reports and billboards, and billboard counts are run by the MineMarket Export and Reports Service. You can View the Status of Monitored Services or View MineMarket Server Statistics to see the status of this service.

System Administration

• The Allow the user to view the base data, market data and scripting user group security right has been deprecated. In addition to other existing security rights, the following new user group security rights cover the functionality of the deprecated security right. When upgrading a MineMarket installation, if the deprecated security right was disabled for a user group, these new security rights are disabled for that user group (but can be enabled as required). See Assign User Group Security Rights to a User Group.

• The Allow the user to edit currency and exchange security right has been moved to the Marketing user group security rights group. The Currency user group security rights group has been removed.

Important: Issues have been identified with OAuth for email authentication. Datamine recommends using EWS or SMTP until these issues can be addressed in a future release.

Installation and Upgrades

• The MineMarket Export and Reports Service is a back-end process that is in charge of exporting data using the standard MineMarket export process, and running scheduled reports and billboards. See MineMarket Export and Reports Service Configuration in the MineMarket Installation Guide, Reporting and System Interfacing and Integration.
• MineMarket configuration includes a setting called Use Remoting. This setting controls the communication technology used by the server and client. The value of this setting must be the same on the server and all clients. If False, MineMarket uses gRPC, which is a newer communication technology to communicate between the server and clients. This newer technology is not better or more functional than prior technologies; however, .NET Remoting is no longer actively developed and therefore must be replaced. This setting will be removed in a future version of MineMarket when the older communication technology is also removed.
• The tracers that are logged for gRPC are configurable for the server and each client. However, leave gRPC Tracers with its default setting of -all (with a prefixed hyphen) unless you need to debug the gPRC communication layer.

Important: All custom plug-ins and adaptors require code changes to be used with MineMarket 5.5.3 or later, even if you are not using gRPC. Contact Datamine for assistance with updating custom plug-ins and adaptors.
