  • 1.  Documentation switcher does not work

    I was browsing the page Setting up single sign-onhttps://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ALL/components/AE/11/All%20Guides/help.htm#ucacyr.htmhttps://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ALL/components/AE/11/All%20Guides/help.htm#ucacyr.htmhttps://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ALL/components/AE/11/All%20Guides/help.htm#ucacyr.htm in the v11 AE documentation. I wanted to view the v12 version of the page, so I selected 12.0 from the version menu in the Documentation switcher bar. The following message appeared:

    The Automation Engine - All Guides have been deprecated with Automation Engine 12.0.0
    Please refer to the AWA Guides.         

    It would be nice if the documentation switcher actually worked, and facilitated quickly switching between different versions of the same page.

    The correct v12 page in this case is Setting up single sign-on.

    Dear Michael Lowry,

    Thank you very much for your feedback.
    I have passed it along to Documentation.
    I will update this post as soon as I get any new information.

    I got a feedback from the Documentation Team:

    The V12 Online Documentation in completely new.
    All modules like Automation Engine, AWI, Analytics, Plugin Manager, Package Manager, Proxy, Process Analytics und LDAP Sync are now moved to the new AUTOMIC WORKLOAD AUTOMATION (AWA) Documentation.
    Also the User Guide has been redefined.

    That is the reason why it is not possible to switch from a topic in V11 to the same topic in V12 via the Doc Switcher.


    Best Regards

    Yeah, that's the answer I was expecting. I guess the documentation team figured that after all the reorganization they had done, it would be too much trouble to fix the links between the old and new pages. Too bad. It's a missed opportunity for a good user experience.
