Automation Center's release product drivers were operational efficiency, security, and scalability.
Eagle is excited to highlight key improvements implemented for Automation Center in the V2017 V17 release.
Accounting Event Manager definition
Accounting Event Manager events can now be created and managed in Automation Center

Migration Wizard and Cart
Migration functionality has been integrated with Automation Center. You can now select and export Events, Jobs, and their schedules as well as SLAs from Automation Center's main ribbon. You can also add these items to the Cart and migrate. We now support ability to monitor migration process and view audit information

Monitor Loopbacks
We now have a new Loopbacks workspace in Automation Center which replaces the Global Process Monitor and provides several new features including, query loopbacks by all partitions, ability to query loopbacks by multiple accounts and by multiple securities. Loopbacks security can be set in Automation Center Roles
This enhancement can be tracked under issue #132392
Message Streams integrated with Events
Message Streams are now one of the available event types and can be found as part of Events workspace. Events Ribbon was updated to include Message Stream specific actions. Unique column set is shown when filtering only by Message Stream eventsMessage Streams were integrated into the Events workspace and the Message Streams link was removed from the left navigation. When you search by Message Streams in the Events workspace, a set of columns unique to message streams is displayed. The Polling Type parameter is now part of Scheduling, not the message stream definition.
This enhancement eliminates the extra step of having to define the message stream with a specific Polling Type and then define it again to be scheduled. Integrating message streams with the rest of the events in the Events workspace allows for a message stream to be defined once, regardless of whether it is defined to run On Data or as Scheduled in the Polling Type parameter.
This enhancement can be tracked under issue #138176
Setup options
The new Automation Center Setup area is accessible from the Left Navigation. Setup allows you to manage commonly used Automation Center elements, such as Date Rules and Sources, Business Calendars, Schedule Groups, Capacity, Schemas and SLA

We now display feed errors that result from processing Data Upload and Data Export events in Exceptions. Feed errors can now be accessed and managed from the Exceptions workspace where you can efficiently monitor, organize, and resolve exceptions for data that has been rejected and sent to the repair queue
This enhancement can be tracked under issue #133759
