Important note for customers with Spider / Columbus Inventory: With this release installed programs (Add & Remove Programs) are not processed when importing Spider / Columbus inventory data. The data processing of data from other 3rd party connectors are not affected. With Spider / Columbus Inventory, only one program (Windows operating system) is usually visible in Spider under the installed programs. The error means that there are consequently no recognized products for affected systems.

A short-term hotfix was made available in the PLC with the version number 1.2111.1. The monthly November delivery takes place at the end of November.

We recommend customers who use Spider / Columbus Inventory and have already updated to version 1.2110.1 to update it at short notice. When a new delivery of inventoried systems is processed, all installed programs are imported and processed again.
