Ref HB core update 337 - Details and migration path?

[Berto2002]

I have many workflows with Get datetime-type utilities.

Which of these is going from Cloud Utils?

After this happens, will our nodes change in the workflows or is there a necessary migration path and deadline?

Perhaps I am suggesting that each of the releases should start to have a link to the updated documentation so we can read the detail.

Hi @Berto2002,

This piece of work was intended to present the utilities in the correct place going forwards, as having them in iBridge (Cloud Automations) doesn't make a great deal of sense - they are utilities that process data locally to your instance, so should be Hornbill Automations rather than Cloud Automations. 

The operations in iBridge will be marked as deprecated in the next release of the iBridge content pack - this won't break any existing workflows, but will basically remove them from being selected in new Cloud Automation nodes on your workflows. As with all automations that we deprecate, they will not be fully removed from the platform until they are no longer present in any active workflows (or autotasks, runbooks or lifecycles) on customer instances. We appreciate that these automations are in use in many active workflows across most customer instances, and there is no plan to remove them permanently, and as such there is no deadline for migration.

The operations that are being replaced in this release are:

• Date Formatter
• Current Day
• Get Current Timestamp
• Get Date Difference
• Get Next Date
• Get Timestamp
• Password Generator

The documentation for the automations is in-app, and accessible using the blue ? button in your image.

Hope this helps,

Steve
