Solution Manager Improvements​

What's New​

✳️ OC-5051: Updated Deploy Server Log and ImpEx2 Log Deploy server logs and ImpEx2 logs (now renamed to SMAImpEx2.log) are now visible in the Solution Manager Logs page, improving consistency and simplifying diagnostics.

Visibility Improvements Across Reports Column ordering is retained during report interactions; filters now adhere to industry standard best practices for ease of use, and downloads now include all pages, not just the current view.

Why This Matters​

These updates improve reliability and reduce friction when monitoring and managing automation at scale.

Studio & Workflow Builder Usability Fixes​

What's New​
