burst-new

IIllumina Connected Analytics is being renamed to Illumina BioInsight Platform Core. As part of this release, you will begin to see name changes across the Illumina software portfolio from ICA to Illumina BioInsight Platform Core or Platform Core. There is no change to functionality under this rename, no changes to API structures, and backwards compatibility will be maintained. Additionally, all references to iCredits are being changed to Illumina BioInsight Credits (BIC). More information can be found in Illumina Product Change Notification (PCN2026-1866).

Starting with the current release, references to Illumina Connected Analytics in the release notes will be changed to Illumina BioInsight Platform Core going forward.

2026 July 15 - Platform Core v2.47.0

New Features and Enhancements

  • General

    • All Platform Core subscription levels, including Basic, now have access to Base, Bench, and Custom Pipelines.

    • Multiple RBAC profiles can now be assigned at the tenant level, removing the need to assign profiles to each user individually.

  • Base

    • Running a query in Base now creates a corresponding History entry, so you can see a record of the queries you have run.

  • Bench

    • -

  • Cohorts

    • -

  • Data Management

    • Platform Core now supports S3 object tagging for opted-in customer-supplied S3 storage volumes via new asynchronous folder and file tagging endpoints.

    • New customer-supplied S3 storage volumes are now automatically granted S3 object-tagging permissions, so when tagging objects outside Platform Core no copy or archive failures occur and no manual support intervention is needed.

  • Flow

    • Improved performance of aborting analyses from the UI so cancellations complete much faster.

    • Retrieving the files of a cloned pipeline through the API now returns the config and main files.

    • Cloning a pipeline now preserves the ‘No standard cluster’ setting, so cloned pipelines keep the same compute configuration as the source.

Fixed Issues

  • General

    • The batch API now returns the correct per-item error instead of repeating the same error for all items.

    • The permissions PUT endpoint no longer throws a NullPointerException when a required field is missing from the request body.

    • Fixed a bug where ‘Save as’ on a pipeline did not carry over newly added, unsaved files; those files are now included in the saved pipeline.

    • Fixed an issue where signing out could leave you appear still logged in or show a session validation error, so logout now works consistently.

    • Restored population of the instrument run ID on workflow sessions, so autolaunch integrations that rely on it work correctly again.

    • Available regions now take the app entitlement into account, so users see the correct regions for their app-specific entitlements.

    • Fixed inconsistent behavior after a subscription is reactivated, so project and data actions work correctly once the subscription is valid again.

  • Base

    • Fixed an issue where exporting a Base query result to a table could leave transactions stuck in the UI, so exports now complete reliably.

      -

  • Bench

    • Fixed Bench workspace mounting so non-indexed folders can be mounted again.

    • Fixed a validation error that blocked saving an edited Bench workspace when another workspace of the same name existed elsewhere in the tenant; you can now edit and save such workspaces.

      -

  • Cohorts

    • -

  • Data Management

    • Archive and unarchive operations are no longer incorrectly flagged as external modifications, so BYOB change detection reflects only genuine external changes.

    • Addressed a slowdown that caused analyses to spend excessive time generating output, restoring expected run completion times.

    • Volume sync no longer incorrectly marks newly uploaded files as externally modified.

  • Flow

    • Fixed an issue where secondary analyses did not appear in a sample’s Secondary Analysis view even though they showed in history; analyses now display correctly.

    • Fixed an issue where a Nextflow analysis using YAML-structured custom input could get stuck in the Queued state and fail; such analyses now proceed correctly.

    • Resolved intermittent socket timeouts during analysis runs that could make analyses take longer than expected, improving run reliability.

    • Fixed an error when opening a secondary analysis from a sample, so analysis details now load correctly.

    • Fixed the pipeline search API so filtering by pipeline language (for example CWL or Nextflow) no longer returns a 400 error.

    • Fixed the pipeline search API so sorting by status no longer returns a 500 error.

    • The pipeline clone API now returns a clear error message when a language version is specified for a CWL pipeline.

    • Cloning a tool shared from another tenant now creates the clone in the user’s own tenant instead of the originating tenant.

    • Improved reliability of BCL Convert analyses by preventing a transient API error from failing analyses that otherwise completed successfully.

    • Cloning a JSON-based pipeline now correctly persists the removal of additional input-form files, so deleted files no longer reappear in the cloned pipeline.

    • Fixed an error that prevented previewing a Graphical CWL pipeline when a metadata model was added; preview now works in this case.

    • Improved analysis run reliability by resolving a storage-mount deadlock that could cause long-running workflows to hang and eventually time out.

  • Samples

    • Resolved an error when linking data to a newly created sample, so data can be added to a sample immediately after creation.

    • Improved data linking reliability.

    • Fixed the project samples deep link so following it opens the sample directly instead of showing an error.

2026 MAY 26 - ICA v2.46.1

Fixed Issues

  • General

    • Fixed an issue which caused Genome Viewer to not respond to the settings (gear icon) button to configure tracks and prevented users from toggling tracks.

2026 May 20 - ICA v2.46.0

New Features and Enhancements

  • General

    • Users can now retrieve the input form (inputform.json) for proprietary pipelines via the API

      /projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}/inputForm/inputFormFile, to support autolaunch use cases.

  • Base

    • -

  • Bench

    • -

  • Cohorts

    • -

  • Data Management

    • -

  • Flow

    • S3 and HTTP URLs can now be provided as file inputs for JSON-inputForm pipelines both in

      the ICA web UI and as default values in the pipeline definition (previously only supported

      via the API).

    • Improved error messages for pipelines imported from Git. For example;

      Invalid nextflow workflow project - main file not found or is unexpected file type (main.nf)

      |For questions about this import, contact Illumina Support with your pipeline URL and import run ID: <runId>

    • The analysis timeline now shows an ‘Environment provisioning’ internal task while AWS resources are being set up, making it clearer when a scheduled analysis is waiting on infrastructure rather than stalled.

    • The Genome Viewer tabs in the analysis detail page now appear immediately.

Fixed Issues

  • General

    • Fixed an issue when loading a drop-down with many entities (for example, Base Table Add

      Data > Job history) so that the view no longer runs out of memory.

    • Fixed an issue when executing POST/api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines:createNextflowPipeline with a duplicate name/code (and no API-version header), so that the endpoint now returns a clear 409 validation error instead of an internal error.

    • Fixed an issue in the Swagger documentation for POST/api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}:clone, so that the documented response code now correctly reads 200 to match actual API behavior.

    • Fixed an issue when saving auto-populated operationId details in the ‘Edit api endpoint filter’ dialog, so that the populated details are now persisted correctly for all APIs.

  • Base

    • Fixed an issue when adding a file with a long path to a Base table, so that temporary

      credentials are now obtained correctly, and the Base load job succeeds.

  • Bench

    • Fixed an issue when running Create tool while the workspace image had been deleted, so

      that a clear error is shown instead of an unexpected error.

    • Fixed an issue when deleting a Bench Docker image that is still in use, so that the confirmation dialog now clearly warns that the image is in use.

  • Cohorts

    • -

  • Data Management

    • Fixed an issue when searching for ‘/’ in the search box (for example in the linking-data

      dialog), so that results are now filtered by path as expected.

    • Fixed an issue when the initial Key prefix was left empty, so that creating a new storage

      configuration no longer shows an incorrect ‘The combination of bucketName and keyPrefix

      already exists’ error.

    • Fixed an issue when displaying CSV files with multi-line quoted cell content in the Data section, so that the cell is now shown correctly instead of being split across multiple cells.

    • Search now supports filtering by file or folder path, in addition to the existing name and tag fields, in both the data search endpoint and the UI.

  • Flow

    • Fixed an issue when choosing an analysis folder as the log folder, so that the folder tree in

      Output files can now be expanded as expected.

    • Fixed an issue when archiving or deprecating a pipeline and confirming with the Enter key,

      so that the optional message entered in the dialog is now saved.

    • Fixed an issue when launching a CWL-XML analysis with a float value for a longType input,

      so that the API now returns a clear validation error instead of an unexpected error in the

      UI.

    • Fixed an issue when running a batch copy against a source project with data sharing disabled, so that the ‘Not allowed to copy this folder’ error now includes a clearer explanation of why the copy was blocked.

    • Fixed an issue when importing a Git pipeline with a name longer than the length limit, so that a clear validation error is shown instead of an opaque transaction-commit error.

    • Fixed an issue when a transient caching error occurred during validation of a public-repo Git pipeline run, so that the workflow continues and the caching issue is logged as a warning instead of failing the run.

    • Fixed an issue when using a Git repository name at GitHub’s maximum supported length (100 characters), so that workflow execution no longer fails during the validation/caching step.

2026 April 27 - ICA v2.45.0

Git-Sourced pipelines are described in detail here. See this page for a basic example of how to configure and use the feature.

New Features and Enhancements

  • General

    • The createTemporaryCredentials endpoint POST /api/projects/{projectId}/data/{dataId}:createTemporaryCredentials now returns an expiryDate for the AWS temporary credentials so clients (including Bench) can refresh before the credentials expire. See createTemporaryCredentialsForData.

  • Base

    • -

  • Bench

    • -

  • Cohorts

    • -

  • Data Management

    • The data-search endpoint GET /api/projects/{projectId}/data now accepts analysisId and analysisDataType filters so you can list files produced by a specific analysis (supported for analyses created in v2.41 and later). See getProjectDataList.

  • Flow

    • All users can now import Nextflow pipelines from Git

    • Nextflow v20.10 is no longer supported. See Nextflow

    • The analysis object available to pipeline onGenomeView, onRender, and onSubmit JavaScript hooks now includes the analysis status as a string (null during onRender and onSubmit).

Fixed Issues

  • General

    • Read-only dropdown, date, and dialog fields no longer show the open-picker icon, so it's clearer at a glance that they can't be edited.

    • Fixed an 'Unexpected error occurred when updating project permission' error that could appear when editing team permissions on a project using billing-mode project.

    • Two users in the same tenant can now reuse a credential name. Previously, creating credentials failed if another user had already used the same name.

    • The GET /api/storageConfigurations response now includes the storageCredentials id, so you no longer need a separate lookup to find which credential a storage configuration uses.

  • Base

    • Base Query now supports columns of type TIMESTAMPTZ (timestamp with time zone). Queries that previously returned an 'Unexpected error' now run as expected. (fixes a known issue).

  • Bench

    • -

  • Cohorts

    • -

  • Data Management

    • Fixed icav2 projectdata copy hanging when the source file is archived. The copy now fails immediately with a clear error.

  • Flow

    • You can now sort the Steps tab of an analysis (list view) by column — for example, to find the longest-running steps.

    • Launching an analysis with a non-empty 'user log' folder now displays a warning in the analysis details instead of silently overwriting the existing log files.

    • Pipeline clone API (POST /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}:clone) improvements: the error message now distinguishes between 'Project' and 'Project/Bundle' when the source pipeline is not linked to the target project.

    • POST /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}:clone, Name and code are now mandatory and return a validation error when omitted

    • POST /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}:clone, pipeline names and codes containing disallowed characters are now rejected with a clear error instead of silently creating an invalid pipeline.

    • POST /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines/{pipelineId}:clone, the response body now matches POST /api/projects/{projectId}/pipelines:createCwlJsonPipeline and includes projectId and bundleLinks.

2026 Apr 9 - ICA v2.44.2

Fixed Issues

  • General

    • Fixed an issue where calling the following endpoints without a version resulted in a 500 internal server error. These endpoints will now default to V3 if no version is specified.

      • GET /projects/{projectId}/pipelines

      • POST /projects/{projectId}/pipelines:createCwlPipeline

      • POST /projects/{projectId}/pipelines:createNextflowPipeline
