Release date¶
May, 2024
Welcome¶
Welcome to MIKE OPERATIONS 2024
In this Release Note, you will find information about new features of MIKE OPERATIONS and what you need to know to install and get started with Release 2024.2.
MIKE OPERATIONS is a software product designed for data management and model-based forecast services and for online operational control of river systems, water collection systems and water distribution systems. MIKE OPERATIONS empowers you to build real-time systems by offering flexible tools that help you deal with complexities such as acquiring and combining online data sources in preparation for real-time modelling.
MIKE OPERATIONS is a product consolidation of software tools developed and applied in projects since 2012. Hence, although MIKE OPERATIONS is a relatively new member of the MIKE product family it builds on proven software products that already serve many customers worldwide.
Note
Note that model adapters of MIKE OPERATIONS support the official MIKE 2024 Update 1 release only. This means that previous and future releases of MIKE engines are NOT supported.
System requirements¶
| Operating systems | |
|---|---|
| Fully supported Windows operating systems (*) | |

(*) Fully supported operating systems are systems that have been tested in accordance with MIKE's Quality Assurance procedures and where warranty and software maintenance agreement conditions apply.
(**) Non-supported but partially tested operating systems are systems, which are not officially supported by the MIKE software products. These operating systems have only undergone very limited testing for the purpose of MIKE software, but the software and key features are likely to work. Installation of MIKE software on a non-supported operating system is done so at the user's own risk. The MIKE software warranty and software maintenance agreement conditions do not apply for unsupported operating systems and DHI is under no obligation to provide assistance or troubleshooting for cases where the software is being used on a non-supported operating system.
Please note that when running a fully supported operating system as a 'guest operating system' on a virtualization platform, it is automatically downgraded to a non-supported operating system under the conditions provided above.
