Automation Catalog

The following breaking change applies to Automation Catalog in the 2023.1 feature release.

Automation Catalog Removed (2023.1)

All app-automation_catalog functionality is removed in IAP 2023.1, including any Automation Catalog items or elements that are part of importing pre-builts. The application UI will remain available in "read-only" mode for a limited time for users to view and search the Automation Catalog collection. An in-app notification bar will also display on the top announcing that user access to Automation Catalog is "read-only".

The read-only controls in the app-automation_catalog UI means that:

• Users will have viewing access only.
• Users cannot create, edit, or import any Automation Catalog automations.
• Users will have to manually select the Automation Catalog automations they want to migrate (export) to Operations Manager.
• Users must use Operations Manager from now on.

What should I do?

Review any custom apps and adapters that referenced any Automation Catalog APIs and verify they are changed to the OM replacement call.

If upgrading to IAP 2023.1, you will need to select the automations in Automation Catalog you want to migrate and export them to Operations Manager (see section below). Automation export can be performed before or after upgrading IAP.

If installing IAP for the first time (beginning at 2023.1), no additional action is required.

How to Export Automations to Operations Manager

To export an automation in Automation Catalog to Operations Manager:

1. Click the Select All button on the top toolbar to select all automations in the Automation Catalog collection.

2. Alternately, you can select an individual automation and then click the vertical dots icon (⋮) to open a menu drawer.

3. Click the "Export" icon to export the automation and its assigned triggers to a downloadable .json file.

   • One .json file is downloaded per automation selected to export.
   • Be sure to remember the location where the downloaded JSON file is saved.

Next, you will need to import (migrate) the automation to Operations Manager:

1. Click the Import icon from the top toolbar on the Operations Manager homepage.
   • Select the JSON file from the location where it was saved.
   • One or more JSON files can be imported at a time.
2. After clicking the Import button, the imported automation will display under the Automations accordion in the left navbar.
3. Select any automation from the accordion list and you will be directed to an Automation Details page in Operations Manager.
