  • Find Favorites in their own menu.
  • View a wider and easier to use Announcements Feed.
  • Use a fully redesigned and responsive navigation menu with consistent naming.

Integration Hub Enhancements

• Now, you can:
  • Click a stop button to stop automation scripts during runtime in Integration Hub – API and Deployment Plan Activities.
  • Reduce the chance of data loss by using the argument args.lastSuccessfulRunDateUtc in your scripts to find the last time a script ran successfully.

Plutora Analytics Enhancements

API Enhancements

• Now, for the Release, Change, TECR, and TEBR entities, you can retrieve the:
  • Schema, which is the list of fields and field attributes (for example, what fields are mandatory, what fields cannot be edited, and so on)  for a specific entity type. Schemas can be used to build request bodies for creating and updating records via the API:
    • GET /schema/{Type}.
    • For example, GET /schema/Releases.
  • Workflow details for an entity type so you know what the valid workflow options are when using the API:
    • GET /workflow/{Type}/{id}.
