Satisfying Requests for Enhancements (RFEs)

HCL Workload Automation satisfies Requests for Enhancements (RFEs).

Requests for Enhancements (RFEs) give customers the opportunity to collaborate directly with the product development team and other users. The team prioritizes and develops new product features based on proposals made by customers.

HCL Workload Automation V9.4 delivers numerous RFEs. The following are a sample of a few of them:

• RFE 56898: Two significant changes have been implemented in the variable tables. The first addresses character lengths for variable names and variable values. The lengths have been extended to 64 and 1024 characters respectively. The second change addresses the possibility to use a variable in place of a static file name when defining file dependencies for dynamic agents. The variable is defined in the variable table of the workstation on which the file exists, and is resolved at later time rendering the file name dynamic and more flexible for use in your plans.
