Side panel layout updates​

In an effort to improve the readability of the queue items side panel, we have changed its layout to a row format, and have made several minor font tweaks.

These updates aim to solve a rendering issue which caused content to have too little space in the old side by side layout to accommodate values. The underlying issue stemmed from a rendering change meant to account for any whitespace formatting coming from automations or raw content.

Changes to the count parameter​

Improved identification of resource types​

The improved identification of resource types, announced on July 9, 2024, is now enabled.

Error message improvement​

We have improved the error messages displayed by all Orchestrator resources. The errors now include a Trace ID, where relevant, for more efficient debugging.

Bug fixes​

  • The package feed did not refresh when you switched folders. Versions from the previous folder remained visible until you switched between tabs.
  • An error stating that the command must not be null was displayed when you attempted to update a process.
  • Some fields using relative dates displayed details based on the system preferences instead of the user's language preferences.
  • An error stating that the startJobParameters must not be null was displayed when you manually started a job from the user interface, or when you performed a StartJobs API call.
  • The Log Details window previously did not display new-line characters correctly. Now, the window properly shows whitespace for all text values in logs, and its width has been increased for improved content visibility.

Applying size limits on large data fields​

Starting today, we are rolling out size limits on large data fields to Enterprise tenants. The change will gradually go into effect over the course of a week. These are the new limits:

  • Progress - limited to 104,857 characters
  • AnalyticsData/Analytics - limited to 10 KB
  • OutputData/Output - limited to 100 KB
  • SpecificContent/SpecificData - limited to 500 KB
  • ProcessingException - Reason - limited to 102,400 characters
  • ProcessingException - Details - limited to 102,400 characters

Additionally, the $top filter is now also limited to a maximum of 100 records.

You can read more about these in Large data fields.

Removing the account authentication endpoint​

The api/Account/Authenticate endpoint has been removed. We recommend using external applications and personal access tokens instead.

Find out more about external applications.

New options on the Processes page​

The Processes page now includes two new options: View Logs and View Jobs. The options allow you to easily access the logs and jobs associated to a specific process.

Launching the Orchestrator Credentials Proxy 2.1.1​

The release of the Orchestrator Credentials Proxy 2.1.1 brings two important fixes:

  • The error message displayed when you tried to use an encrypted appsettings.Production.json, which stated that a file or assembly could not be loaded, no longer occurs.
  • The BeyondTrust Password Safe - Team Passwords credential store would sometimes not work as expected when the Folder Path Prefix parameter was used.

Deprecation timeline​

We recommend that you regularly check the deprecation timeline for any updates regarding features that will be deprecated and removed.
