The Opswise agent has been merged with the Stonebranch Universal Broker to create standard agent software that runs on all platforms.

Record Versioning
Opswise now maintains historical copies of most user-created records in the database. These include tasks and their associated records (virtual resources, variables, actions, notes), calendars and their custom day associations, custom days, variables, credentials, virtual resources, scripts (and associated notes), email templates and connections, database connections, SNMP managers, SAP connections, agent clusters, applications, Opswise groups, and triggers (and associated variables). When the user updates one of these records, the system creates an image of the old version and stores it in the record's Versions tab. See Record Versioning.
...
Updating Multiple Records on a List
...
Two menu options available from any list of records allow you to make updates to multiple records. You can make these "global" changes to the list for any field that is common to every record in the list or every selected record. For example, if your list includes multiple Cron triggers, you can make "global" changes to all fields on a Cron trigger. If your list includes all task types, you can make "global" changes to any field that is common to all task types. The more uniform your list is, the greater the number of fields you can change.
...
All Task Types will now be validated upon definition. //What is this??//
SQL Warning Messages
SQL warning messages are now captured and available with output on the Database Task output from the Activity Window.
Launch with Variables
Opswise now supports a "Launch with Variables" feature that allows you to quickly provide values for the variables specified in the task and launch it. All task types support the Launch with Variables feature. Any variables attached to the task are automatically filled in.
Limiting the Number of Lines on Retrieved Output
You can now use the Number of Lines field to limit the amount of output retrieved by a task.
New Built-In Variables
A number of new built-in variables are now available. See Built-In Variables.
...
You can now select multiple tasks in the Activity Window in order to perform the same command against them at one time. The lowest common command set will be available for selection. See Selecting Task Instances.
Task Monitor
...
Enhancements
Task Monitor enhancements include the ability to specify a Workflow Condition and a Time Scope, as well as add the capability to specify Restrict Times on the Task Monitor TriggerFor Task Monitors within a workflow, you can now specify a Time Scope, or window of time, during which the event being monitored for must be satisfied. You can also now use the Workflow Condition fields to specify a particular workflow within which the task being monitored must appear.
Estimated End Time Calculation
For improved forecasting, the Estimated End Time of Workload is based on Historic Averages.
Export
New scripts to export history have been added to the utilities.
...
Exporting Data
The selection of maintenance scripts used to export records has been enhanced. Specific scripts are now available to export all current record definitions,
...
The export of history was previously part of "opswise_bulk_export.js." However, it is now contained within its own script "opswise_bulk_export_history.js." If customers wish to export and/or migrate their history data, they will need to execute "opswise_bulk_export_history.js" in addition to the "opswise_bulk_export.js."
The new script "opswise_bulk_export_with_versions.js" essentially initiates the original export script "opswise_bulk_export.js," followed by exporting all of the version data associated with the definitions exported by "opswise_bulk_export.js"; for example, Trigger versions, Task versions, etcexport record definitions including all previous versions, export all records in the activity table, and export task instance history.
