Utilities
✳️ OPCON-15335: OpCon now includes a utility that publishes usage data (daily task counts) to the cloud and/or local file.

Details of the utility are here: https://github.com/smatechnologies/usage-data
✅ OPCON-15504: Small fix in invalid data for SMAUtility schedule.
✅ OPCON-15337: Fixed the transaction log backup file in the backup utility scripts to be initialized so it does not keep appending to it and grow forever.

✅ OPCON-15461: Fixed an issue where ImpEx2 did not start up if the database was configured to force encrypted connections.
✅ OPCON-15450: Fixed an issue in ImpEx2 where deploying a schedule with a frequency having the same name but different case in the name deployed the schedule to target with some missing properties and missing job level frequencies.
✅ OPCON-15436: Fixed an error with deployment when calendars associated with the schedule or package to be deployed does not exist in target server.
