Oracle Database support

We now support Automation Co-Pilot on Oracle Database. When you install or update to this release, you can now choose Oracle Database to work with Automation Co-Pilot.

Delete files permanently from Automation Co-Pilot cloud storage

You can now delete files permanently from Automation Co-Pilot cloud storage. When you delete a request, the associated file is also permanently deleted now and not just sent to the recycle bin.

Cloud storage usage

Append or overwrite operations in your form

Append or overwrite operations in your form by using the Assign form rules for the web, with the Checkbox and Radio Button elements, which now support form rules.

Assign dynamic values with support for new elements in your forms

When you use the interactive forms package, you can now assign dynamic values with the Assign action, which now supports Checkbox and Radio Button elements in your form.

You can also change the label of the selected form elements with the Change label action for the Button element.

Interactive forms package

Run processes more seamlessly by setting expiration time for human tasks (Service Cloud case ID: 00806522)

You can now run your process more seamlessly even when a human task takes longer to run. You can achieve this by setting an expiration time for your tasks in Human Task in a process.

When you set an expiration time, if a human task takes longer to address, the task times out and the process moves to the next step to ensure there is no break to the flow.

You can set the expiration time by number of days, hours, and minutes, depending on your requirement.

What's changed

Simplify your workflow by grouping multiple conditions in form rules

You can now group multiple conditions for your form rules by using the And logic with the Or logic. Previously, you could group only the And logic or the Or logic. This change, which is similar to the If-Then-Else logic, facilitates grouping multiple conditions and helps simplify your workflow.

Fixes

You can now have greater security validation because it is no longer possible to upload files that have double extensions, such as File.PDF.PDF, to your web application.

Previously, uploading files with double extensions was possible, which represented a significant risk to applications.

Service Cloud case ID: 00828289
Clean up operations now include recursive request files to prevent spam in audit logs. Previously, an Unsuccessful Request alert appeared repeatedly in the audit log, from root error: 
org.hibernate.exception.ConstraintViolationException: could not execute statement

Service Cloud case ID: 01816489, 01839604
When you use the Has Errors rule to show the number of errors in your form, the error message now shows the correct number of errors.
When you update from Automation 360 v.24R2 to Automation 360 v.25, the bot setup now correctly shows the number of bots and assigned teams.
