Awards Tracking System
We are putting some finishing touches on a new release of our
Awards Tracking system. This includes a totally revamped
interface, incorporation into the TwinEngines Web Application Suite
(i.e. upgrade to the .NET 4.0 framework), better tracking of the
DA638, and some enhanced functionality to track getting SIDPERS
updated with the Awards.
PERMS Integrator
A new release of PERMS Integrator is now available.
This corrects a couple of incorrect PERMS document types as well as
altering the configuration for a few of the AFCOS Orders to pull
the Effective Date out of the body of the order as opposed to using
the Effective Date. It also has some improvements to how we
queue up the documents for processing. We have now
implemented a staging process where all the documents are prepared
locally, then copied over to the PERMS Server at the end of the
process, with the "Date Exported" not getting updated until the
files are successfully copied to PERMS. In the past, we had
issues with losing network connectivity to the PERMS Share halfway
through an export process, which meant you had to start all
over. This way you can just wait until connectivity is
restored and complete the process.
Still waiting on feedback from a few more states, but once we
receive that; we will work with NGB to get this version released
through NGB to all the states.

Discharges
A new release of the Discharges application is now
available. This includes the newest version of the DA4836,
which allows for electronic signatures. It also includes a
new version of the NGB-22 PureEdge form, which also allows for
electronic signatures. The PureEdge version of the 22 does
NOT however allow for the "Soldier not available for signature"
option. We've contacted NGB about this and are waiting on a
response.

Feedback on the E5-E9 Auto Advancement
We created an online demo of the E5-E9 Auto Advancement
functionality we are currently working on at
http://sharepoint.twinengines.com/NG/Online%20Training%20and%20Demos/RR_AutoAdvancement.pdf
and got some great feedback on it. We are currently analyzing
that feedback and will be incorporating it into the next
release. If you have any feedback, please let us know at ngsales@twinengines.com.
