| Inventory Manager (ENG-18005) | Platform 6.3.0 adds Inventory Manager to the platform sidebar, providing integrated access to inventory management capabilities directly within the automation platform. Benefits: • Seamless navigation between automation workflows and inventory data • Improved efficiency for operations requiring device and asset information • Unified user experience across platform modules |
| Workflow Metadata Panel Deep Linking (ENG-17257) | Added support for URL parameters that enable direct navigation to workflow metadata panels, improving integration with external tools like Insights. New Capabilities: • URL parameter support for automatically opening workflow metadata panel • Works for both global and project-scoped workflows • Enhanced tooltip help text for Pre-Automation Time and SLA Per Workflow fields • Improved user guidance for workflow performance tracking Example URL: https://{instance}.itential.io/{workflowId}?expandMetadataPanelOnFirstWorkflowOpen=true Use Cases: • Navigate directly from Insights performance data to workflow settings • Quick access to edit Pre-Automation Time for ROI calculations • Streamlined workflow configuration updates |
| Workflow engine optimization (ENG-15586) | Added support for configurable rate limiting to control workflow task execution rates. Benefits: • Prevent system overload by controlling task execution speed • Maintain stable performance during high-volume workflow processing • Scale horizontally across multiple Platform instances |
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Platform Responsiveness with Large Role Sets (ENG-18555) | Resolved critical performance issues affecting instances with large numbers of roles and methods, particularly impacting adapters with extensive method collections. Improvements: • Faster login times when using LDAP or local authentication • Improved UI responsiveness in Admin Essentials and Operations Manager • Optimized workflow execution performance • Reduced timeout incidents with load balancers Impact: Customers with gateway adapters containing thousands of allowed methods will experience significantly improved platform performance. |
| Nested Indexed Array Support (ENG-9417) | Fixed issue where nested indexed array elements in JSON Schema Transformation schemas were not selectable, enabling proper transformation configuration for complex data structures. |
| Special Character Handling in JST (ENG-11898, ENG-11954) | • Resolved issues with % symbol in property names causing transformation failures • Fixed schema corruption when renaming properties containing special characters • Improved URI validation and error handling |
| Enhanced JST Error Reporting (ENG-9088) | Regular expression errors in transformations are now properly captured and displayed in the UI, providing clear feedback to users instead of silent failures. |
| JST Schema Editability Improvements (ENG-3512) | Resolved inconsistencies in incoming schema editability, ensuring consistent behavior regardless of how transformations are accessed (via method card or sidebar navigation). |
| JST Duplicate Name Handling (ENG-7907) | Fixed issue allowing transformation renaming to duplicate names, preventing data display inconsistencies and confusion between transformations with identical names. |
Bug fixes (13)
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| AD-FS Identity Provider Authentication (ENG-17545) | • Fixed issue where AD-FS IdP login succeeded with empty username • Added validation to prevent login when UPN value is missing • Enhanced logging to identify missing identity provider values • Improved error messages for authentication failures |
| CyberArk Reference Handling (ENG-16734) | • Resolved issue where CyberArk secret path references in adapter configurations were incorrectly encrypted • Reference paths now remain intact, preventing adapter authentication failures |
| Scheduler Task Data References (ENG-11487) | • Updated scheduler to use new task data reference format • Ensures consistency with workflow engine task document structure • Aligns scheduled tasks with current data management architecture |
| Job View Display (ENG-4564) | • Fixed issue where job variables appeared empty in the 2023.2+ job view interface • Restored proper display of job variable data |
| doProvision Workflow Task Schema (ENG-18195) | • Corrected input parameter schema definition from incorrect array type to proper object type • Resolves task execution failures due to schema validation mismatches • Ensures compatibility between API and task implementations |
| Integration Deletion (ENG-16275) | • Fixed issue preventing integration deletion when confirmation dialog appeared • Resolved blank screen issue during integration deletion workflow |
| Project Workflow Import (ENG-17839) | • Fixed issue where imported project workflows appeared in global scope instead of project space • Ensures proper workflow organization and namespace isolation |
| JSON Forms Transformation Bindings (ENG-17772) | • Resolved mismatch between JSON form configuration view and runtime display • Ensures consistent form rendering across configuration and preview modes |
| Project JST Export/Import (ENG-9553) | • Fixed issue where JSTs used in childJob tasks were duplicated during project export • Resolved JST renaming issues on project import • Eliminated orphaned JST copies in database after project operations |
| Prebuilt Transformation Import (ENG-3435) | • Fixed issue where prebuilt import did not properly overwrite existing transformations with same name • Prevents duplicate transformations with different IDs |
| Large Data in Editor (ENG-10557) | • Resolved issue where large data in workflow editor reformatted unexpectedly • Prevents unwanted “dirty state” triggering in workflows • Improves editor performance with large datasets |
