Orion.AlertStatus.AddNote & Orion.AlertStatus.Acknowledge not working since upgrading to 2023.3.1 getting "Cannot find assembly"

Hello,

It seems that something has changed or broken in the Orion SDK after we upgraded to 2023.3.1. Attempts to acknowledge or add notes to alerts via Powershell return errors.

Orion.AlertStatus.Acknowledge failed, check fault information. Verb Orion.AlertStatus.Acknowledge: Cannot find assembly

Orion.AlertStatus.AddNote failed, check fault information. Verb Orion.AlertStatus.AddNote: Cannot find assembly

Are others having similiar issue?

Actually, it looks like it's supposed to be Orion.AlertActive Acknowledge now with different parameters...

Yeah looks like they may have deprecated the means to access those verbs on the Orion.AlertStatus entity.

Here's an example of invoking it on the new ones with powershell:

## Acknowledge an alert with a note

$alertObjectId = 115230
$xmlconfig = @"

        $alertObjectId


$note = "Here is my note at " + [string](Get-Date)
$config = ([xml]$xmlconfig).DocumentElement
Invoke-SwisVerb -SwisConnection $swis -EntityName 'Orion.AlertActive' -Verb 'Acknowledge' -Arguments @($config,$note)

## Append an alert with a note

$alertObjectId = 115230
$xmlconfig = @"

        $alertObjectId


$note = "Here is my appended note at " + [string](Get-Date)
$config = ([xml]$xmlconfig).DocumentElement
Invoke-SwisVerb -SwisConnection $swis -EntityName 'Orion.AlertActive' -Verb 'AppendNote' -Arguments @($config,$note)

Weird...they didn't mention deprecating verbs in the release notes?

Many things don't make it to release notes.

I know...but I thought I was the only one that noticed. What's up with that? SolarWinds should divert some of the resources they dump into silly things like "Missions" toward improving their documentation.
