Release Notes 6.4.2-2

This topic provides information about the new features and enhancements, bug fixes, and database changes that have been implemented in this version of Automic Automation Intelligence as well as enhancements and bug fixes that are connector-specific.

Enhancements

General

  • Provided API for connector developers / integrators to retrieve events from the "waiting room" that have already been submitted to AAI.

  • Provided a command line tool to check for remediate common data corruption issues encountered by customers at AAI server initialization. For more information, see Database Inconsistency Remediation Commands.

  • Updated remote reporting of telemetry data to new Broadcom standards

  • Removed support for JobTrac scheduler.

AutoSys

  • Added support for additional AutoSys Job properties.

  • Added support for additional AutoSys Job types.

Connector Framework

  • Added scheduler name to log messages to improve diagnostics when connectors are configured to service more than one scheduler (Automic Connector, Control-M)

  • Improved installer to check for a valid Java executable on the system PATH. If it does not exist, the user is prompted to provide a java location before installing. The installer then configures the service to reference the user-provided java.
