Erik Bakker 30.1 6 **Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have hit the ground running this quarter by focusing on more prominent features and spending a substantial chunk of time focusing with us all on a lot of smaller feedback items and bugs. All these items will be provided to you with this release. Among these are flow designer improvements, navigation improvements, and consistency improvements. On top of that, we have made our new monitoring stack available to the first set of models. So let us dive into all we have to offer this time!

Erik Bakker 18.1 8 == **New monitoring stack** ==
eMagiz 1.1 9
Erik Bakker 30.1 10 This release will introduce a new monitoring stack available for models that run in the new runtime architecture of eMagiz. With the help of this monitoring stack, we have redesigned various screens in Manage and restructured our alerting approach. For a sneak preview of these changes, please check out the following microlearnings.

Erik Bakker 30.1 21 == **Academy improvements** ==
Erik Bakker 18.1 22
Erik Bakker 30.1 23 On top of that, we have added various microlearnings to our academy offering available on docs.emagiz.com related to the new runtime architecture. You can identify these microlearnings by looking at the following icon in front of a microlearning.

Erik Bakker 18.1 26
Erik Bakker 30.1 27 == **Flow Designer Improvements** ==
Erik Bakker 18.1 28
Erik Bakker 30.1 29 //__See last changed date and changed by on resource level__//
30 This release will reinstate the ability to see who changed a resource last and when it was changed for the last time. You can find this information by double-clicking on a resource or viewing its details via the view button.
Erik Bakker 18.1 31
Erik Bakker 30.1 32 [[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--change-info.png]]
Erik Bakker 18.1 33
Erik Bakker 30.1 34 //__See on which other flows a resource is used__//
35 This release will reinstate the ability to see whether a resource is used in other flows within your model or not. This will help to determine the impact of a specific change.
Erik Bakker 18.1 36
Erik Bakker 30.1 37 [[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--resource-used-in-other-configs.png]]
Erik Bakker 18.1 38
Erik Bakker 30.1 39 //__Toggle option to see the generated resource by default__//
40 Upon request, we have made the toggle for the generated resources in the new flow designer user-dependent. This means that you, as a user, can determine that the toggle should also be on. This means that the generated resources will be shown to you when opening any flow in eMagiz. When you switch the toggle off, this will mean that you will **not** see the generated resources by default.
Erik Bakker 18.1 41
Erik Bakker 30.1 42 == **Feedback items ** ==
Erik Bakker 18.1 43
Erik Bakker 30.1 44 We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
Erik Bakker 18.1 45
Erik Bakker 30.1 46 //__Redirect to the Manage Dashboard from your model home page__//
47 Directly navigating to the Manage phase (of any environment) will automatically redirect you to the error message Dashboard, as that is the landing page of the Manage phase.
Erik Bakker 18.1 48
Erik Bakker 30.1 49 //__Readable entry of a SpEL expression in a flow component__//
50 As of now, the input field for your SpEL expression in certain flow components will dynamically expand when you enter a large SpEL expression. This will improve the readability of your solution and will make it easier to enter and validate your SpEL expressions.
Erik Bakker 18.1 51
Erik Bakker 30.1 52 [[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--spel-expression-readible.png]]
Erik Bakker 18.1 53
Erik Bakker 30.1 54 //__Keep Create and the Create Phase release in sync__//
55 Previously the Create and the Create Phase release might have become out of sync. As a result, comparing a release to the Create Phase release could yield confusing results. With this release, we have made several improvements to prevent this from happening.
Erik Bakker 18.1 56
Erik Bakker 30.1 57 //__Mask password values in the unused properties overview__//
58 All property values of the type password can be masked in the properties overview screen. However, this behavior was different when pressing the unused properties overview. With this release, we have corrected this behavior to ensure that passwords are also masked in this overview.
Erik Bakker 18.1 59
Erik Bakker 30.1 60 //__Press Enter to Search for properties__//
61 With this release, we have added functionality that makes it possible to press **Enter** when searching for properties in the property overview.
Erik Bakker 18.1 62
Erik Bakker 30.1 63 //__Styling update on tag selection on integration level__//
64 With this release, we have improved the styling of tags displayed on the integration and system level. This way, the tag is better readable, and the icon to remove a selected tag is completely shown to the user instead of partly.
Erik Bakker 18.1 65
Erik Bakker 30.1 66 //__Enter to close automated flow testing pop-up__//
67 Upon your requests, we have made the pop-up detailing your automated flow test results to be closable by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. This saves you the hassle of grabbing your mouse and clicking the button.
Erik Bakker 18.1 68
Erik Bakker 30.1 69 //__Improved naming of downloaded Event Streaming keystore__//
70 When downloading a Keystore that an Event Streaming client needs to access a topic, the name now includes the client name **and** the environment so you can easily discern the difference between the keystores when distributing them to your client.
Erik Bakker 18.1 71
Erik Bakker 30.1 72 //__Pop out on the Traces tab within Flow Testing__//
73 In line with the improvements we made before within the Flow Testing functionality, we have now added the pop-out functionality to all results shown in the traces tab. This will make it easier to analyze what happens between the start and the end of your flow.
Erik Bakker 18.1 74
Erik Bakker 30.1 75 //__Sorting User Management__//
76 As of this release, the user management overview in Deploy for users and roles will be sorted alphabetically to make it easier to find a specific user or role within this overview.
Erik Bakker 18.1 77
Erik Bakker 30.1 78 //__Improved warning on passthrough API operation__//
79 Most users forget to configure a backend API operation or switch to the transformation option when configuring an API operation in Capture and Design before moving to Create. This is then blocked, leaving users confused about what to do next. Therefore we introduce an additional warning in the Design phase that lets you know that your configuration of an API operation is not yet finished. This way, you can correct it **before** trying to move it to Create.
Erik Bakker 18.1 80
Erik Bakker 30.1 81 //__Improved update functionality of Swagger file when changing data model__//
82 Before, there were specific scenarios in which the Swagger file was not updated according to changes made to your API data model. With this release, we have made a first step in improving this behavior. Then, when you change the order of attributes in your data model, the Swagger file will be updated accordingly.
Erik Bakker 18.1 83
Erik Bakker 37.1 84 {{info}}
85 Note that just as with any resource that is changed from the Design phase, a version bump of your flow in Create is still necessary to deploy the changes to your environment(s)
86 {{/info}}
Erik Bakker 18.1 87
Erik Bakker 30.1 88 //__"Disapprove and go to environment"__//
89 Following the "Approve and go to environment" functionality, we have now expanded that by adding the "Disapprove and go to environment" functionality.
Erik Bakker 18.1 90
Erik Bakker 30.1 91 //__Improve readability of API Gateway operations in Create and Deploy__//
92 When you have a lengthy name for your API Gateway operation, it becomes tough to discern the various API Gateway operations in your landscape. To alleviate this problem, we have added a tooltip functionality that will show the full display name when hovering over the API Gateway operation.
Erik Bakker 18.1 93
Erik Bakker 30.1 94 //__Add Topic Storage information to License Tracker__//
95 On top of the information already shown in the License Tracker, we have added Storage information for the Event Streaming pattern. This way, you can easily see the amount of GB you have assigned and the amount of GB that was contractually agreed upon between you and eMagiz.
Erik Bakker 18.1 96
Erik Bakker 33.1 97 [[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--topic-storage-info.png]]
98
Erik Bakker 30.1 99 //__Add Compatibility check when importing store items__//
100 We have added a compatibility check to the platform to prevent you from importing store items that do not work on a specific runtime architecture to prevent this from happening.
101
102 //__Show dependencies between support objects__//
103 As of now, when you click on a support object, all related support objects will also be highlighted in the same overview. This makes it easier to see the relationship between support objects and components and among support objects.
104
105 //__Improve rendering of validation definition when using multiple namespaces__//
106 With this release, we have improved how we render the validation definition (XSD) when using multiple namespaces. This will prevent you from running into validation errors while everything seems configured correctly on your end.
107
Erik Bakker 31.1 108 //__Improved help texts on next-generation runtime functionality across the portal__//
109 With this release, we have improved several help texts on functionality related to the next-generation runtime that help you while migrating to the next-generation runtime.
110
Erik Bakker 18.1 111 == **Bug Fixes** ==
112
Erik Bakker 30.1 113 //__Provide correct feedback when a flow is transferred to Deploy for the first time__//
114 With this release, we have made several improvements to what feedback is given to the user when moving a flow from Create to Deploy for the first (upon creating your first definitive version). This will ensure that no confusing pop-ups will be shown that are incorrect and only confuse the user further.
Erik Bakker 18.1 115
Erik Bakker 30.1 116 //__Show information in the Exception of error messages overview__//
117 With this release, we have resolved the bug plaguing this page. As a result, you will again see information on this page when there is information to show.
Erik Bakker 18.1 118
Erik Bakker 30.1 119 //__Improve styling of cron trigger configuration pop-up__//
120 The styling of this pop-up made it very hard to configure a cron trigger. We have redesigned the styling to make the pop-up readable again.
Erik Bakker 18.1 121
Erik Bakker 30.1 122 //__Prevent flow editing locks in specific situations__//
123 There were specific situations when switching between Design and Create that could lead to unexpected behavior in the Create phase. This led to a flow editing lock warning to the user. We have solved this problem in this release.
Erik Bakker 18.1 124
Erik Bakker 30.1 125 //__Generate property value empties the runtime selection__//
126 With this release, we have fixed the bug that emptied the runtime selection upon generating a property value (i.e., password).
Erik Bakker 18.1 127
Erik Bakker 30.1 128 //__Make sure nothing of a system message is editable from your exit__//
129 Before, you could change part of your system message from your exit (but not everything). This led to confusion. As a result, we have now made sure you cannot edit anything on the system message level from your exit to keep it consistent with our design choices.
Erik Bakker 18.1 130
Erik Bakker 30.1 131 //__Prevent users without view rights from seeing a weird screen in those phases__//
132 With this release, we have introduced a consistent approach towards what we show a user that has no view rights on a complete phase. This means that you will always see the same information consistently.
Erik Bakker 18.1 133
eMagiz 35.1 134 //__Name of starting point of the flow test is incorrect__//
Erik Bakker 30.1 135 With this release, we have ensured that the name of the starting point of your flow test you see in the "Results" tab is correct.
Erik Bakker 18.1 136
Erik Bakker 30.1 137 //__Audit Trail on User Management could break__//
138 When performing many changes to user management in Deploy at once, there was a chance the audit trail functionality would give an error blocking you from continuing your update. With this release, we have solved that issue.
139
140 //__Progress bar in the license tracker is shown twice__//
141 With this release, we have fixed a bug that showed the progress bar twice in the license tracker.
142
143 //__Compare flows with support objects in the new flow designer__//
144 We have fixed a bug related to support objects that prevented you from comparing two flows when one was built in the latest, and the difference was constructed in the old flow designer.
