198 - Great Migration

Another couple of weeks have passed, so it is time for a new release. We have focused in this period on improving the migration process towards the next-generation architecture as well as how the user experience and interaction with the next-generation architecture works.

Please find out more on our Release blog.

Minor changes

• Create - 3rd generation runtime migration: You will be notified by a pop-up when the migration is complete.
• Create - 3rd generation migration: Migrating a JMS server to the 3rd generation runtime will migrate backup JMS servers too.
• Create - Flow designer: Added a validation for HTTP outbound gateways and HTTP outbound channel adapters that will create an alert if both Encoding mode and a REST template is set for the component.
• Deploy - Releases: We improved the performance of preparing and deploying releases, by optimizing the algorithm that decides if runtime images needs to be rebuild or not.
• Deploy - Releases: We improved resource validation when preparing releases. You will get notified when a flow resource was updated in one flow, but not in another flow in your release. Only applies to third generation runtimes.
• Deploy - Architecture: When pressing "Apply to Environment" in Deploy -> Architecture there is no hard dependencies anymore on the (active) release when running in the next generation architecture. This makes it more clear and tangible what function is necessary for what goal.
• Manage - Alerting: Updated the eMagiz control tower with an improved way to determine whether metrics for a runtime are missing.
• General: Updated the monitoring stack so alerts can be paused, reducing the alerts that are received during eMagiz infra deployments.

Bug fixes

• General: Increased the performance of the eMagiz Control Tower, which should significantly reduce the occurence of the 'failed to send to elastic' log message in your models.
• Deploy - Architecture: The docker commands now correctly propagate to the java process, making sure containers stop, start and restart as intended when running runtimes in a hybrid situation. Please check out the runtime release notes for additional information.

Remarks

• Infrastructure Upgrade: We have updated the underlying version of one of our applications to 9.24.2.
