ILogic log output is now part of the report.txt. The logs produced by iLogic start with [iLogic] prefix. This feature is supported in engines 2019 and upwards.
The Automation Service will now produce additional information on WorkItem failures. This information can be used to either debug the issue or contact support.

Improved
The POST /workitems operation will no longer return 429 errors as frequently as it did previously.
Validation of inputs has been enhanced so that the server detects additional invalid input conditions and returns a status of 400 for them.

Changed
Create nickname has improved error messaging. The error message for invalid nicknames is more detailed and the server retruns a status of 400 if the ClientId is used as a nickname.
Release Date: 2020-10-20
Job reports are now uploaded every five minutes. This could be helpful if your job runs longer and you would like to see the reports during the process.
Create activity has improved error messaging which can report that the activity’s command-line doesn’t match the activity’s parameters.
Fixed a bug where “timeFinished” was being incorrectly included in the workitem status even when the job was in progress.
Release Date: 2020-10-01
Added
Validation to Activity creation to ensure that paths specified as command line parameters are encapsulated by quotes. The server now raises an error if paths are not placed within quotes.
Release Date: 2020-08-20
Changed
Activity parameters that start with the string “adsk” are now reserved for internal use by the Automation Service.
WorkItem limits have been simplified. The limits for maximum number of downloads, maximum number of uploads, maximum total size of all downloads, maximum total size of all uploads, maximum download time, and maximum upload time have been removed.
