Version 11.3.2 Release Notes

These release notes describe new features, changed features, fixed features, security fixes, deprecated features, and known limitations introduced in Version 11.3.2 for Automation Anywhere Control Room, Enterprise Client, and Bot Insight.

New features

Control Room new features
Feature Description
Automation Anywhere Control Room user interface localization A Control Room user can change the language of the application's user interface by selecting English (United States), French, Japanese, and Korean from the Control Room. See Control Room interface overview.
Password type attribute in Credential Vault (Zendesk # 48249, 49478,52363, 62880, 65358, 84852,100452, 138760, 138779, 141926, 178161) When creating a credential, you can now mark a specific attribute as a password type to ensure that a password-type attribute selection can only be made from the password field in the commands supporting the Credential Vault variables in the Enterprise Client interface. This feature enhances the security of credential variables because the password-type attributes are not exposed and the value cannot be printed in a plain text application.
Note: Existing bot users must modify their credential variable definition to use this feature. However, the bots require no modification.

See Create a credential.
Automatically discover domains and sites across single or multi-forest environments for Active Directory configuration. Introduced support for automatically discovering domains and sites by the Control Room when the administrator configures or updates Active Directory authentication. See Configuring Control Room for Active Directory: auto mode, Configuring Active Directory Settings, Reset LDAP user credentials

Switch Terminal Emulator logs generation You can now enable and disable the generation of Terminal Emulator logs for mainframe terminals using Advanced Technology during bot execution to capture only the required logs to share for analysis. This preserves user-sensitive information and does not capture the username and password.
Support SOAP Version 1.2 in SOAP Web Service command The SOAP Web Service command now supports SOAP Version 1.2, which uses the content type application/soap+xml and charset utf-8, in addition to SOAP Version 1.1, which uses the content type text/xml.

Option to regularly clean up Terminal Emulator logs

You can now clean up the Terminal Emulator log at specific intervals to optimize disk space. For example, if you set an interval of seven days, older log files are deleted during cleanup.

Valid interval ranges: 1 through 60 days Default: 7 days.
Mutual authentication using Access Manager Reverse Proxy server
  • You can now configure an Access Manager Reverse Proxy server, for example, the IBM WebSEAL, between the Automation Anywhere Enterprise Client and Control Room for secure communication.
  • The client certificate authentication mechanism is used for the first-time authentication of Automation Anywhere Enterprise Client.

    See Enterprise 11: Configuring Access Manager Reverse Proxy.
Object Cloning using the Remote Agent for Citrix

The Remote Agent for Citrix enables you to use the Object Cloning command to capture objects from the applications that are installed on a Citrix environment, even when the Enterprise Client is installed outside the Citrix environment. See Object Cloning command.
