Administration

Self-registering execution servers

Silk Central now enables the registration, which means the creation and the assignment to a location and therefore to a project, of new execution servers through command line with the new Execution Server Launcher. This new feature provides you with the flexibility to start up your execution resources when you need them, without any manual overhead. Additionally, the Execution Server Launcher keeps the execution server on the most current version and will attempt to re-start the execution server in case of an unintended termination.

User management - Links between users and groups

You can now navigate easier between users and group pages, as the group names on the Users page now link to the corresponding groups and the user names in the Groups page now link to the corresponding user.

Change Status
