What's New in Automation Center V17

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 V17 release. 

Accounting Event Manager definition

Accounting Event Manager events can now be created and managed in Automation Center

This enhancement can be tracked under issue #132099

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

This enhancement can be tracked under issue #115438 and 137985

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 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

This enhancement can be tracked under issue #138946

Feed Error processing

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

Event type and event level permissions

User Administration has been updated to support event type and event level permissions. You can now grant run access to specific Event Types to individual users

This enhancement can be tracked under issue #109352
