Compatibility notes at the start of each version identify companion components that require updating before or alongside that OpCon release.

Spring 26​

26.1.2​

NOTE: For compatibility, the following packages require updating if used on-premises:

  • ACS AzureWebservices - 25.0.2
  • ACS Ease - 25.0.3
  • ACS WebServices - 25.0.2
  • Deploy – 26.0.0 or higher
  • Enterprise Manager - 26.0.1 or higher
  • Relay - 26.1.2 or higher

  • WebServices Connector – 21.6 or higher

Core Engine & Infrastructure​

✅ OC-7278: Schedule Built for Wrong Date Fixed an issue with build date selection.

✅ OC-7316: Question Mark in Resolved Values of [[$NOW]] and [[$TIME]] Resolved values of the $NOW and $TIME global properties no longer contain an unexpected question mark before AM/PM (for example, 12:27:01?PM now correctly displays as 12:27:01 PM). This affected SAM logs, console display events, notifications, and any other location where these properties were resolved.

✅ OC-7321: Job Output Retrieval Through Relay Over TLS Resolved an issue where JORS (Job Output Retrieval Service) requests routed through SMANetComRelay over TLS would fail with a "Client Certificate with Serial Number not found in repository" error in environments where TLS client certificate validation was not configured.

26.1.1​

NOTE: For compatibility, the following packages require updating if used on-premises:

  • ACS AzureWebservices - 25.0.2
  • ACS Ease - 25.0.3
  • ACS WebServices - 25.0.2
  • Deploy – 26.0.0 or higher
  • Enterprise Manager - 26.0.1 or higher
  • Relay - 26.1.0 or higher
  • ServiceNow Connector – 25.0 or higher

✅ OC-2700: "On Occurrence Last Friday of the Quarter" Frequency Fix Fixed an issue where a job using "on occurrence last Friday of the quarter" frequency was excluded even though it was included in the forecast.

Solution Manager​

✳️ OC-3856: Relay/NetCom Administration Page Added a new Relays/NetComs administration page in Solution Manager displaying all Relays and NetComs registered in the OpCon instance. From this page, OpCon admins can remotely restart, upgrade, and request logs for Relay instances, as well as manually transition workload from a Primary relay to a failover relay using the new Relay Failover modal. Relay 26.1.0 is required.

✅ OC-4434: NetCom Name Now a Validated List The NetCom Name field on the Machine Definition page is now a validated list instead of a free text field.

✅ OC-6096: Master Job Save — Connection Pool Fix Fixed connection pool exhaustion when saving master jobs. Saving a job was opening 10+ simultaneous SQL connections per request, causing pool exhaustion under load. Database queries are now run sequentially and frequency, threshold, and resource updates are batched into single SQL statements instead of one per row.

✅ OC-6119: Master Job Load — Performance Fix Fixed slow master job loading under concurrent load. Each database query was opening a new connection and triggering a sign-in event, so a single page load could generate ~12 sign-in events causing contention when multiple users loaded jobs simultaneously. The fix reuses a single database connection per HTTP request, reducing sign-in events to one per request.

✅ OC-47: CloudEvents API — Error Response Fix Fixed an issue where posting a malformed or unreadable body to the CloudEvents API returned 500 (Internal Server Error) instead of 422 (Unprocessable Entity), causing MFT agents to retry the request indefinitely.

✅ OC-2606: SNOW Connector Fix Fixed an issue that caused intermittent server internal errors with the SNOW connector.

✅ OC-6050: IMPEX Export Fix Fixed an issue that caused an error when exporting a schedule to an IMPEX.MDB file.

✅ OC-5988: User Deletion Event Fix Fixed an issue where deleting a user could prevent jobs with associated events from loading.

✅ OC-6795: Windows Batch User — Case-Sensitive Collation Fix Fixed an issue on case-sensitive SQL Server collations where a Windows batch user's login name stored with different casing would cause SAM to report "Windows Password not found" and the batch user to appear blank when editing master and daily jobs. The fix applies case-insensitive matching across the SAM password lookup, master job batch user retrieval, and daily job batch user display.

✅ OC-7222: ServMan — Ghost Process and Shutdown Fix Fixed ServMan to prevent PlatformNotSupportedException errors and ghost processes on service shutdown.

Documentation​

✅ OC-36: Large Schedule Dependency Display Clarification Updated documentation to explain the dependencies display issue for large schedules. On large schedules, a job can appear to have no dependencies when the predecessor is simply off-screen.
