Answer:
Only user who subscribe to the QA program are notified with a complete list of published errors. For all others when opening a model that was created in a pervious version, AutoPIPE will alert the user of an issue that may be impacted by a critical error and prints a report providing some specifics on that error. This behavior has always been implemented by AutoPIPE since the earliest versions to today.
Following is an example.
An issue was discovered that Tees with different material across tee legs may report inconsistent allowable values. This was marked as a critical issue for models generated by AutoPIPE 09.06.01 to 09.06.02.02. All QA users were notified about in the reported issue in the next QA monthly report. Meanwhile, all others would be notified by looking it up on the Known issue community page here, or by opening a model generated by the affected versions in AutoPIPE 09.06.02.06 or higher versions. The following message would be displayed if the model fits the evaluation criteria:
Note, known issues are categorized into 4 levels: low, medium, high, and critical. One of the perks for being apart of the QA program is receiving monthly reports on all published errors, new and existing. Otherwise, the mechanism mentioned above only covers high and critical issues fixed in a future version than was originally reported. Again, these issues are only reported as mentioned above.
