1 -Here's our first release of this quarter. We have delivered additional small (bug) fixes in this release and released the Live Flow testing feature. The last is a real improvement during the development process of a flow. Furthermore, you will find several improvements in the way of work for nextGen environments.

3 -Please find out more on our [[Release blog>>Main.Release Information.Release Blogs.196 - The Last Post.WebHome||target= "blank"]].
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have processed additional feedback on the Manage phase to ensure you can more easily create overviews of your statistics, displaying all information correctly and improving the migration process to the next-generation architecture in the Create phase slightly. On top of that, we have improved the scalability of our new generation monitoring stack and the alerting structure. We will also release a new cloud template for our next-generation infrastructure to comply with technical requirements from our cloud provider.

7 +== **Mandatory Cloud Template Upgrade - Next-generation models ** ==

7 -* Create - Flow Testing: Till now, the Flow Testing allowed to test eMagiz flows by defining a testing point on the start (and end) point(s), run them and compare the actual and expected messages. In this release, “Live Mode Testing” is introduced, making it possible to test communication with an actual "live" endpoint. As a result a “HTTP outbound gateway” can be set in “Live Mode”. When you do this, the HTTP outbound gateway will send its HTTP request to the actual endpoint. Consequently the response will be handled by the flow in the flow test so you can determine whether the actual endpoint behaves as expected.
9 +As can be seen on our [[status page>>https://status.emagiz.com/incidents/dbh6g9w3ks7q||target="blank"]], we will release a new cloud template for our next-generation models (both single and double lane) that will change a configuration in these templates to comply with technical and operational requirements from our cloud provider. The announcement of the status page itself holds more detail for those to whom it pertains.

9 -=====Minor changes=====
11 +== **Feedback Items** ==
10 10  
11 -* Design - Store: You are able to see some warning messages when you import a transformation from store. Because your imported transformation is required some information from the related store fragment. You should include that store fragment to avoid a breaking transformation in Create phase after importing. Afterward, we will update your existing flow component transformer to make it work correctly.
12 -* Design - Store: We updated importing to help you avoiding an error during importing store item that will break your message definition in some special cases.
13 -* Design - Store: We fixed an issue that you import the message definition(s) and a specialized DataType of imported message definition(s) are not matched with the exported message definition(s). Now, they are matched and your transformation won't get issues.
14 -* Create - Store: We excluded automatically resources that are not good enough from the exporting wizard. Then you will easy to recognize a problem and avoid creating unusable store item.
15 -* Create - Flow designer: CDM edit right is applied to the message definition in Create phase. You can not change CDM message definition, Gateway message definition, even Event streaming message definition without the proper right.
16 -* Create - Flow designer: Model resources tab removed on resources page when adding an resource to a validating filter.
17 -* Create - Flow designer: Improve responsiveness of resources tab at right panel.
18 -* Create - Flow Designer: Resources in "Unused resources" section can be marked as used for the case that the resources are referred by components through property placeholders or in custom spel expressions.
19 -* Create - API Gateway: We fixed an issue where an optional query parameter would cause failed requests, if that parameter was not supplied. Please reset your entry flow to apply the fix.
20 -* Create - API Gateway: We fixed an issue where API-Key secured requests would fail with error code 500 instead of code 401, if no API-Key was supplied. Please reset your entry flow to apply the fix.
21 -* Create - Resources: When viewing a resource, its full name will be shown, removing the need to download the resource in order to obtain its name
22 -* Deploy - Releases: We reduced the time it takes to prepare a release, before it can be deployed. The process of building runtime images has been optimized.
23 -* Deploy - Releases: We have improved editing properties in releases for runtimes that are 3rd generation compatible.
24 -* Deploy - Architecture: The topics are now ordered alphabetically and the runtimes will now get the same order as design architecture (after ‘apply to environment’)
25 -* Deploy - Architecture: We improved the auto-healing feature of AWS machines. The new generation JMS server runtimes always start before other runtimes are ran.
26 -* Manage - Explore: A new button to delete queue is added. This button is only visible for authorized personnel.
27 -* Administration -User management: Company contact can edit permissions of models that fall under child companies.
28 -* Administration - Overview: Contracts page removed.
13 +//__Improved Validation when migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
14 +To improve the migration process to the next-generation architecture, we now show a list of all reported problems, allowing the user to resolve them before migrating to the next-generation architecture.

30 -====Bug fixes====
16 +{{info}}Note that when no problem is found, the migration process of that runtime will start automatically.{{/info}}
31 31  
32 -* Create - Flow designer: Improved help texts of various flow components related to key-/truststores and their usage. They now better explain what you need them for and mention important security considerations.
33 -* Create - Flow designer: Various small (cosmetic) fixes and changes in the edit pages of some flow components to make them more consistent with similar pages.
34 -* Deploy - Releases: We fixed an issue, where after removing containers from a machine, during execution of the deployment plan, the removed containers are not recognized as change, causing the ‘Deploy machine’ step to be skipped.
35 -* Manage/Event streaming statistics. For some models, (some) topic data did not show in the graphs.
18 +//__Improved HTTP Statistics__//
19 +To improve the filtering and refresh functionality we offer on this overview, we have made several changes in this release that will improve the behavior of this overview.
20 +
21 +//__Show values on the runtime level in Deploy Architecture__//
22 +We have improved the values shown on the runtime (i.e., container) level in Deploy Architecture so you can better assess whether the memory configuration is still suitable for your deployed solution.
23 +
24 +{{info}}To get to the values we use different calculation methods per type of runtime, as certain runtime types have various reasons for existence.
25 +* JMS - The number of queues in the active release.
26 +* Messaging Container - The number of messaging integrations in the active release.
27 +* Messaging Connector - The number of messaging integrations related to this system in the active release.
28 +* API Gateway Container - The number of operations in the active release.
29 +* Event Streaming Container - The number of event processors in the active release.
30 +
31 +There might be multi-tenant and multi-runtime situations that do not always get to the exact number; however, this is a great improvement compared to showing no values.{{/info}}

33 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
34 +
35 +//__Gain the ability again to configure certificates in Deploy Architecture again__//
36 +In restricting the configuration options on the certificate level in one of our latter releases, it became impossible for normal users to add and edit certificates within Deploy Architecture. To resolve this problem we have now released a fix to resolve this issue, giving people the ability again to add and edit certificates under Deploy Architecture.
37 +
38 +//__Ensure that differing container configurations deploy the correct configuration__//
39 +When you run in a multi-runtime configuration and change the actual flows that need to run on container A vs. container B, it happened before that all flows were still being deployed on all runtimes. With this release, we will feed this information correctly to our infrastructure to ensure the correct and configured flows are deployed on the proper containers.
40 +
41 +//__Remove queurying options in Manage__//
42 +To avoid errors and loading problems when analyzing your statistics in Manage, we have removed the option to select a default time range spanning more than seven days. This is to guarantee the stability of the solution and to avoid users getting unnecessary errors.
43 +
44 +== **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
45 +
46 +As always, this is a gentle reminder to ask questions via the Q&A forum. The Q&A forum is available in the eMagiz iPaaS portal, so we can all benefit from the knowledge within the community. For some inspiration, take a look at these forum answers:
