If you haven’t signed up for automated notifications of changes to the Cobra 5.1 HotFix List (KB Article 60817), you should always check in with Deltek’s support web site at the end of each month. Deltek have been very consistent in releasing fixes at the end of each month and each time they have a dozen or more fixes for items that may be affecting your system.
For November 30th, Deltek have released HotFix #8, build 5.01.313. Among other things, this HotFix #8 build 5.01.313 brings us improvements in the memory usage that can otherwise overwhelm your system if you’re running very large CPR or Time-phased reports. So if you’ve been experiencing problems with Microsoft Excel running out of memory when running large reports, this patch will help you.
There are also improvements to the Deltek Cobra 4.7 conversion process and an important speed improvement in loading the project list when integrating with scheduling tools. This one has been affecting some of my customers using Primavera P6 with an Oracle database, so I expect this will be well received.
As usual, for full details check out the Deltek support web site. The release notes download with the HotFix file and provide details of all the fixes in that particular release.
