5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release is characterized mainly by our efforts to bolster our 3rd generation runtime and all the interactions with it. Furthermore, some small bug fixes and beta features will be released to the community.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** It has been a while since our last deployment on the 9th of December. As a result we have finished up a lot of new improvements to our 3rd generation runtime offering and fixed a variety of annoying bugs as well as some small improvements. This release is characterized by the major steps we took to release several major features on our 3rd generation runtime among which are the queue browser and message redelivery functionality.

7 -== **Store - Next phase** ==
7 +== **Queue Browser** ==
8 8  
9 -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.
9 +{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime{{/warning}}
10 10  
11 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--current-store-offering.png]]
11 +To enhance the observability of your integration landscape while running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture we have added a new feature to our Manage phase called the "Queue browser". You can access this functionality via the "Explore" menu option in Manage. With the help of the queue browser you can, as the name suggests, browse your queue.
12 12  
13 -{{info}}For more information on the Store please check out this [[course>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]]. As a reminder, you can find all documentation on all available Store content published by eMagiz [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]].{{/info}}
13 +To do so, we offer two options within this functionality. We have the Explore function and we have the Wiretap function. When selecting a queue and opting for the Explore option you get a live view of what data is currently present on the queue. When selecting the Wiretap functionality you automatically wiretap your queue and are presented with copies of your actual message that pass through the queue from the moment you pressed the Wiretap button.
14 14  
15 -== **New eMagiz Mendix Connector** ==
15 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-overview.png]]
16 16  
17 -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.
17 +After selecting the queue and choosing the option eMagiz will show you the list of messages (oldest first) that are currently on the queue (Explore option) or that passed the queue since the moment you activate the option (Wiretap option). For each message you have various options at your disposal.
18 18  
19 -{{info}}Migrating the runtime from the eMagiz portal works the same as for any other runtime. The migration path can be found [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Support.Migration Paths.migration-path-emagiz-runtime-generation-3.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
19 +* Delete the message from the queue (Explore option)
20 + ** This means throwing away live data which can be helpful in a test or acceptance environment where you inadvertedly put a lot of messages on a queue.
21 +* Clear message from the wiretap queue (Wiretap option)
22 + ** Once you are done with the analysis of a certain message in the wiretap functionality you can clear it from the overview so it does not clutter the view anymore
23 +* Refresh messages list (both options)
24 + ** By pressing this button you can refresh the list of messages that are displayed to you. Note that the list is sorted in such a way that the oldest messages are shown first
25 +* Save as test message
26 + ** By pressing this button you can save the message and use it in our flow testing functionality in Create. Note that we link the message to the corresponding flow if we can. Should we not be able to do so we link the message to your model so you can still use it in the flow testing functionality.
27 +* Download
28 + ** By pressing this button you can download the message and use it outside of the tooling should that be needed.
20 20  
21 -== **Flow version restore** ~* ==
30 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-explore-overview.png]]
22 22  
23 -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.
32 +== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
24 24  
25 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--flow-version-restore.png]]
34 +This release will introduce various improvements for our 3rd generation runtime. Below you will find the most noteworthy enhancements we made to the 3rd generation runtime and its interaction with the portal.
26 26  
27 -{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when restoring to a previous version:
28 - * Changes made on definition and transformation level are **not** restored
29 - * You will **not** be able to restore to any flow version that was created before October 17th, 2022
30 - * 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
31 - * Your restored flow version will **not** be automatically committed to Deploy{{/warning}}
36 +//__SOAP and REST web services migration, including splitting them__//
37 +With this release, we have released the migration process that will allow you to migrate SOAP and REST web services to the 3rd generation runtime. At the same time, you can directly split the all-entry to eliminate that construction. A specific migration path for this will be published in the documentation portal.
32 32  
39 +//__Changing SSL settings for 3rd generation runtime models works__//
40 +As with the current runtime architecture, you can change the SSL settings if needed for a model running in the 3rd generation runtime.
41 +
42 +//__Improved migration for JMS flows__//
43 +This release will improve the migration of JMS flows when migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
44 +
45 +{{warning}}If you already migrated your JMS flow, you should execute a "Reset" action on the JMS level to get these changes in your model{{/warning}}
46 +
47 +//__Removed the ability to add "Debug components" to a flow running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
48 +As of this release, you can no longer add debug components on a flow already migrated to the 3rd generation runtime. This functionality will not work in the 3rd generation runtime and would break your flow.
49 +
50 +//__Deployment plan is updated correctly when completly migrated to the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
51 +We have fixed a bug that generated an incorrect default deployment plan once you were fully migrated to the 3rd generation runtime.
52 +
53 +//__Correct property generation for Event Streaming flows using the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
54 +With this release, the properties generated for Event Streaming flows running in the 3rd generation runtime are configured correctly to mimic the ones in the image.
55 +
56 +//__Added "Reset" functionality__//
57 +With this release, a new functionality has been added for 3rd generation runtimes that allows you to combine several steps into one action, called "Reset runtime." The effect of this action is the same as it currently is in the legacy runtime.
58 +
33 33  == **Feedback items ** ==
34 34  
35 35  We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
36 36  
37 -//__Improved help texts Kafka component__//
38 -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.
63 +//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
64 +We have improved various display names using the merge functionality within our store offering.
39 39  
40 -//__Improved warning message when Message redelivery cannot be adequately executed__//
41 -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.
66 +//__Update security protocols for our internal architecture__//
67 +Parts of our internal infrastructure (i.e., docs.emagiz.com) have been updated to adhere to the latest security standards.
42 42  
43 -//__See Flow Designer errors on the Create overview__//
44 -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.
69 +//__Improved read-only description for "if exists" constructions in Transformations__//
70 +To make it clear what the "if exists" check does while not being in "Start Editing" mode, we have improved the description so users without edit rights or without wanting to enter the "Start Editing" mode can read and interpret what the check does.
45 45  
46 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--alert-visualized-in-create-overview.png]]
47 47  
48 -{{info}}Note that you need to open flows that are currently triggering alerts to show the alert on the Create overview{{/info}}
73 +== **Bug fixes ** ==
49 49  
50 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
75 +//__Decent validation feedback when not filling in the property value__//
76 +We have fixed the validation feedback you get when not filling in the property value using the "Check properties" functionality.
51 51  
52 -//__Update Swagger File when changing the order of entities in gateway message__//
53 -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.
78 +//__Incorrect resource locations__//
79 +We have fixed several instances where the resource location was not generated correctly in the 3rd generation runtime.
54 54  
81 +//__Apply to environment in User Management performance improvement__//
82 +We have improved the performance of updating User Management on your environment. This way, the update functionality is more stable and faster.
