Release Notes - MIKE OPERATIONS 2024.3

Release date

August 2024

Welcome

Welcome to MIKE OPERATIONS 2024.3

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 2024.3.

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.

    Breaking Changes

    Breaking changes are changes made to functionality that requires user action as part of an upgrade to ensure that specific functionality will work after the upgrade.

    If any breaking changes has been made to a release, the breaking changes will be described in the release notes.

    MIKE1D and MIKE+ adapter models

    As a result of fixing issues with identifying and reading output time series on links, models registered with the MIKE1D or the MIKE+ adapters, should be reregistered in order to parse links correctly.

    In case links output is not used, there is no need for doing a re-registration of the models.
