Skyline update - issue uploading method on LabSolutions (Shimadzu) benoit fatou  2021-11-11 08:39
 

I updated the Skyline software on Monday and when I uploaded a new method to LabSolutions, I couldn't see the transitions table anymore by clicking on the associated tab (it basically doesn't allow me to open the tab). I found an alternative which is to first export a transition list from Skyline and import it to an old method in LabSolutions but it is not the best solution for me.

Let me know if you need more information as it may be a bit difficult to understand my problem.
Thanks,
Benoit

Hi Benoit,
Shimadzu has looked into the issue and it sounds like upgrading to a newer version of LabSolutions should fix it:

I tried opening the user’s problematic method file in our latest not-yet-released LabSolutions (5.113), and the transition list actually appeared correctly.

So I believe it isn’t a problem with the MethodWriter.dll, IoModule.dll etc. after all (but thank you for sending the user’s template method file and the Skyline CSV – which would have been necessary if I debugged them).

So in short, the solution to the problem is that the user should upgrade to a more recent LabSolutions LCMS version. (You mentioned that they are using LabSolutions 5.97).

Thanks,
Kaipo

Hi Kaipo,

Thanks for taking the time to solve this issue, really appreciate it.
Something I probably forgot to mention earlier is that this issue appeared right after I downloaded the latest Skyline Daily update.
Anyway, I will reach out to request the latest LabSolutions.
Thanks again,
Benoit
