Last modified by Carlijn Kokkeler on 2024/04/18 13:21

Hi there, eMagiz developers! This release will release several impactful features and enablers to our community. Among others, the next phase of the eMagiz Store will become publicly available. This means that you can now import data models and transformation on top of system messages in Design and accelerators in Create. Furthermore, we will launch a new Beta functionality through some of our clients, enabling you to restore your flow to a previous version.

Store - Next phase

This release will introduce the next phase of the Store to our whole community. With this new functionality, you can import data model messages (i.e., CDM, API Gateway Data model, or Event Streaming data model) and transformations. Connecting to standardized systems such as Exact Online, Microsoft Graph, Salesforce, and others will become even more accessible.

For more information on the Store please check out this course. As a reminder, you can find all documentation on all available Store content published by eMagiz here.

New eMagiz Mendix Connector

This release introduces a new version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector. This version (6.0.0) will work with the current runtime architecture and the new runtime architecture making the migration from the existing runtime architecture to the new runtime architecture easier. The latest version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector can be found in the Mendix Marketplace and the eMagiz portal.

Migrating the runtime from the eMagiz portal works the same as for any other runtime. The migration path can be found here

Flow version restore *

On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to restore your flow to a previous version. This way, you can quickly undo changes made that were incorrect.

Note that the following restrictions apply when restoring to a previous version:

Changes made on definition and transformation level are not restored
You will not be able to restore to any flow version that was created before October 17th, 2022
You will not be able to restore your flow to the original version created by eMagiz. You can use the reset function if you want this state back
Your restored flow version will not be automatically committed to Deploy

Feedback items

We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.

Improved help texts Kafka component
The help texts on various configuration options and the general help text on multiple Kafka components have been updated to clarify how they work and how you ought to configure them to achieve the best possible result when sending and receiving messages to and from topics within eMagiz.

Improved warning message when Message redelivery cannot be adequately executed
We have improved the warning you get when you cannot retrieve the messages waiting to be redelivered. This helps clarify what is going wrong when a user sees this warning.

See Flow Designer errors on the Create overview
To improve our offering surrounding the new Flow Designer functionality, we now show on the Create overview which of the flows you still have alerts due to a misconfiguration of the flow. This will help to identify ongoing work much more manageable.

Note that you need to open flows that are currently triggering alerts to show the alert on the Create overview

Bug Fixes

Update Swagger File when changing the order of entities in gateway message
In our previous release, we improved how the Swagger file is generated when changing the order of attributes of your gateway message. To make this functionality work for entities, we have made several additional changes to the platform supporting this.

Fancy Forum Answers

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:
