Hello!
I’m very pleased to announce the General Availability (GA) build of N-central 2022.1! For a complete list of changes in this release, read on! To access the documentation or grab the installers, please head over to the 2022.1 download page.
Automation Manager 2.19 – making Automation Better!
N-central 2022.1 includes v2.19 of Automation Manager, and there are a lot of really great changes in this release!
- Several new objects, for interacting with files in Microsoft Azure environments, have been added. All of the objects can be found under the new MS Azure category:
- Install Azure PowerShell Module
- Create Blob Storage Container
- Upload File To Blob Storage
- Download File From Blob Storage
- A new Get File Name and Path Info object has been added, and can be found under the File Management category
- The Input Prompt object now allows the Body field to be linked to the output of other objects.
- The If/Else object can now check for NULL values.
- Error handling within the Run PowerShell object has been improved to mirror how PowerShell error handling works on Windows.
- When uploading a new version of an existing AMP to N-central, you’re now able to choose whether the existing AMP should be overwritten, or if a new AMP should be created.
- v2.19 of Automation Manager also addresses several bugs; please see the Fixed Bugs section of the Release Notes for details.
