Future-proof technology
=================
The year 2038 problem – a well-known time-formatting bug inherent to all systems which measure Unix time – might still seem far away right now, but for our customers starting up new, long-running projects, preventing catastrophic system failure in the future is very much a present-day concern.
WinCC OA is committed to solving our customers’ future problems today. By replacing our configuration database (RAIMA) with SQLite, a new and improved relational database solution, WinCC OA has been made year 2038 ready well ahead of the curve. Including zero voltage safety, a better performance as well as a smaller footprint, SQLite offers our customers many configuration options and last value storage. An importer for historical data is going to be added in an upcoming patch for v3.19, making it possible to migrate existing RAIMA-based projects as well.
Additionally, our NextGen Archiver has been further optimized, so WinCC OA’s future-proof archiving solution now meets all the top requirements for our customer base’s investment.
