Automation Plan Engine Update - Documentation?

Usage and Config Server Automation
1

Hi,

I noticed an update available for the AP Engine in my environment (9.5.8) the other day. I was curious if there was somewhere I could look to review a README or listing of changes in this latest version?

Am hesitant to update the engine as I recently had a case open to resolve an email notification issue requiring me to edit and recreate the Server-Automation-PlanEngine-production-9.5.XX jar file.

Am also asking because my users are seeing a link to update the engine as well when they’re reviewing our automation plans…(they have been instructed not to click it…but accidents happen.:roll_eyes:

Thanks,

Doug
