Whats New In Build 3.7.0.17

Auto updates should update plugin tonight, but if you need the download you can get it here

We have several new little tweaks made to the data views where sorting on image columns failed. We've made a custom sort function to manage these columns.

We found a typo in our new Plugin Server Script Function that prevented the groupscripts entries from being removed. This has now been fixed. We also removed the EDF removal function so that client and agent data remains intact when resetting the environment. The Server Script Function will now only reset the Chocolatey For Automate environment leaving all data and agent settings intact.

We found an issue where script creation was not properly handled when script exised thus causing duplicate scripts to be created. This also now fixed, but if anyone is experencing duplicate scripts. You can use the Plugin Server Script Function to reset the environment and fix all the issues you maybe having.

We had several reports of groups not having a search or script assigned which is causing functions not to be performed. If anyone thinks something is off or not working as desired can have a quick peek at the groups and sub groups and verify that each group has a valid search assigned and a Scheduled script enabled.



Group Seach Exists?

If any group is missing either of these items then you should reset your Chocolatey For Automate environment. Here is how you do that.



Create a Simple 2 line script
We named our script "Reset Chocolatey For Automate Environment" and added 2 lines. The Plugin Server Function and a log line to log any output.

The Plugin Server Function looks like this:

Once script is created, You can execute the script using any agent, just one and you only need to run it once. After the script finishes restart the DBagent and allow several minutes for the DBagent to complete its start up tasks, which include recreating groups, searches and scripts.

After a successfull restart of the agent you should now have a reset environment. You can verify this by checking the groups for searches and scripts.

Yes, I think I could add in the version number..

I am pretty quick to move Habitat to new versions of Chocolatey. I typically give a day or two to catch any hard case issues before updating the build.

You wont go a week between updates.
