IAP 2022.1.0

In this feature release of Itential Automation Platform (IAP) you'll see:

• Improved Golden Configuration importing functionality to support overwrites and renaming duplicates. This enhancement allows users to easily migrate Golden Configurations between environments such as from development to production.
• Incorporated a new DiffViewer to handle large configurations. Previously, the config diff functionality would timeout on extremely large device configurations. It now works in a very timely manner.
• Implemented the ability to update (patch) device variables without replacing all existing variables.
• Added new icons to the main IAG UI sidebar for each of the sliding menus.
• Bolstered support to write the IAG global log to the file system.
• Fixed Auto-Work mode to better handle jobs and tasks under certain network conditions.
• Applied a new Gen 2 canvas component to display Gen 2 jobs.
• Updated the JST application in Automation Studio to use React to enhance the user experience for integrating JSTs.
• Added new functionality to the JST Builder to allow for if..else statements as well as switch statements.
• Fixed the Command and Analytic Template collections to better handle incoming schema objects that are broken or not fully compatible.
• Improved handling of workflows with special characters so they no longer fail on import.
• Refined the transformation check to ensure an error is displayed when something goes wrong while rendering a transformation.
• Incorporated a more unique server ID for better identification, security, and ease of use.
• Provided the ability to auto-write passwords to Vault when entered through Admin Essentials. This feature will also mask those passwords from view within the UI. With this feature addition, Itential users have the option to use their own HashiCorp Vault Secrets Manager in a ‘read-only’ mode.
• Made integration improvements with AWS Lambda.
• Improved the API caching mechanisms for a better UI experience.
• Boosted recovery efforts when processes die by allowing the platform to restart the service.
• Accelerated the processing performance for large task objects from 2 minutes to 3 seconds.
