5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvements points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. Among others we have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation. Improved when certain logging is triggerd and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that we fixed several bug fixes surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado let us take a look at all these improvements.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks we had our quarterly "hackathon" in which we fixed a series of annoying bugs and introduced many small improvements. On top of that we also finished several additional features for our 3rd generation runtime that will make your life while running on the 3rd generation runtime easier and better manageable. Among the additional features we have the dynamic alerting and the debugger functionality.

7 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
7 +== **Dynamic Alerts** ~*~* ==
8 8  
9 -//__Better feedback in error log when a corrupt stylesheet is encountered__//
10 -We have improved the logging within a 3rd generation runtime that identifies the broken resource by name within a container and informs you to navigate to Create -> Resources to see in which flows the resource is used so you can take the appropriate action.
9 +{{warning}}Note that depending on the alert this functionality will only work when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime{{/warning}}
11 11  
12 -//__Better internal error handling to avoid unnecessary alerting and notifications__//
13 -We have improved the internal error handling when sending metrics from the runtime to our monitoring stack. This will gravely reduce the number of alerts you will receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
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 "Dynamic Alerts." You can access this functionality via the "Alerting" menu in Manage. Then, with the help of the "Trigger" overview, you can view all triggers on your environment. On the top of the list you will see all "static" alerts as defined by eMagiz. Below that you will see all "dynamic" alerts that you and your fellow teammembers (with sufficient rights) can view, edit and delete.
14 14  
15 -//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
16 -This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrated your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
13 +We offer alerting on five types.
17 17  
18 -//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
19 -When a slot is put into standby mode we now also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models that have this functionality activated. The opposite happens when the slot wakeup is triggered. As a result not only the cloud runtimes are started but also all on-premise runtimes.
15 +* Error message
16 +* Log message
17 +* Queue consumers
18 +* Messages in queue
19 +* Queue throughput
20 20  
21 -//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
22 -With this release we have improved the process through which your deploy action is preparated by eMagiz. As a result the chances of unexpected behavior occuring in your model are drastically reduced.
21 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--dynamic-alert-trigger-options.png]]
23 23  
24 -//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
25 -When migrating your streaming container we now take into account whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination specific additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without any manual intervention.
23 +These five options give you the option to configure more or less the same as you are currently used to when configuring triggers. Once you make a choice for a type you can press the "Next" button to fill in the details of the trigger. One example of how this can look is shown below.
26 26  
27 -//__Add History to Notifications in Manage__//
28 -To improve the auditability of our platform we have introduced an audit trail to the Notification section in Manage for models running on our 3rd generation monitoring stack. This way it is always visible when the notifications were paused and who paused or unpaused the notifications.
25 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--dynamic-alert-trigger-input.png]]
29 29  
30 -//__Improved Manage phase for Event Streaming__//
31 -Based on the feedback on our first iteration of the Manage phase for Event Streaming we have improved the graphs and the calculations that fill the graphs with values. On top of that we have added helptexts to clarify what each graph our table displays to you.
27 +Once the trigger tab is filled in you can navigate to the "Output" tab to select the recipients for the trigger you are configuring. On top of that you can reduce the number of message at which congestion control is enabled if ten is too high for you.
32 32  
33 -//__Improved help text for network volumes__//
34 -With this release we have improved the help text that explains network volumes and how to use them within our solution.

35 35  
31 +== **Debugger ** ~*~* ~* ==
36 36  
33 +{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when the following criteria are met.
34 +* Your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime
35 +* The store item called "3rd generation debugger" is imported in the infra flow of each runtime for which you want the ability to debug
36 +* The beta image is activated
37 +* A new release is created that includes the flow changes and this release is deployed to the environment(s){{/warning}}
37 37  
38 -{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesistate to contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:productmanagement@emagiz.com]] or read our [[documentation>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3.WebHome||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}
39 +As with our current offering, we now offer a functionality with which you can debug channels and see them via the eMagiz portal. As stated above to get to this point you need to execute several steps to get your model ready to be "debugged". Once you have done this you can activate the "debug" mode, via Deploy -> Containers for **one** specific flow **per** runtime that is of particular interest to you. Once you have done this you will see a pop-up telling you whether the "debug" mode was indeed activated or not.
39 39  
40 -== **WS-Security on the 3rd generation runtime** ~*~* ==
41 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--debugger-action-success.png]]
41 41  
42 -To further improve our offering on the 3rd generation runtime we now also have added the necessary functionality to allow you to call SOAP endpoints while utilizing WS-Security as well as securing your hosted SOAP endpoint through WS-Security protocols. Please make sure to create a new release that will trigger the image creation process which will included this feature when necessary.
43 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--debugger-action-failure.png]]
43 43  
44 -== **State Generation ~*~* ==
45 +Assuming it was activated correctly you can navigate to Manage -> Explore -> Queue browser and select the emagiz.debug queue to see the messages coming through.
45 45  
46 -With this release we introduce our first "State Generation" functionality to our user community. After rigorous internal testing and use we have now made a stride to also make it available to the user community on specific use case. In the following months we will gather feedback on this to further improve and release it in a simpler and more user friendly way to the user community.
47 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--debugger-output-queue-browser.png]]
47 47  
48 -{{info}}Should you be interested in this functionality or want to learn more please contact us at productmanagement@emagiz.com{{/info}}
49 +{{info}}Note the following limitations when working with the debugger.
50 + * Your entire model needs to be migrated to the 3rd generation runtime
51 + * Only **one** flow **per** runtime can be debugged **per** environment
52 + * There is only **one** overview in which **all** debugged messages are shown
53 + * Message payload in excess of 100KB are not shown in the queue browser as they constitute a "large message"
54 + * The debug functionality works for a period of five minutes in which you can use the refresh button to see new messages coming in.
55 + ** After five minutes the debug functionality will be shutdown automatically under water.
56 + ** To see new messages after the five minutes you will have to access the debug functionality again from scratch.{{/info}}
49 49  
58 +== **Volume mapping - Network Share** ==
59 +
60 +This release will introduce an additional functionality within our [[volume mapping>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.File based connectivity.novice-file-based-connectivity-volume-mapping-on-premise||target="blank"]] offering. With this additional configuration option you can configure a network share and configure it to create a mapping between a network share and a docker volume.

65 +
50 50  == **Feedback items ** ==
51 51  
52 -//__Removed OData as option for an API Gateway operation__//
53 -With this release, we have removed the OData operation option as it was not used and was not fully supported anymore by the platform.
68 +We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
54 54  
55 -//__Changes in API Gateway operation paths is automatically updated in Create__//
56 -When you change your path on a hosted API Gateway we will now automatically update the accompanying component in your Create (all-)entry.
70 +//__Improved validation feedback on non-supported WSS4J interceptor __//
71 +We have improved the validation feedback when someone tries to implement a specific WSS4J interceptor implementation.
57 57  
58 -{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
73 +//__Improve help text in flow testing on Java classes__//
74 +We have improved the helptext when you are adding headers to your test message. In this helptext we explain the top five Java classes and how to note them down to make it work in the flow testing functionality and in eMagiz in general.
59 59  
76 +//__Improved readibility of notification when trying to delete a runtime__//
77 +When you have forgotten one or more steps when deleting a runtime you will be notified by the system on this. With this release we have improved the readibility of the notification.
78 +
60 60  == **Bug fixes ** ==
61 61  
62 -//__Prevent endless loop in Deploy -> User Management__//
63 -With this release, we have changed the way we update properties when user management is updated for an API gateway using the API Key security mechanisms. This will prevent the endless loop that could now happen on occasion.
81 +//__Keep selection when copying properties__//
82 +We have fixed the bug that prevented you from easily copying properties from one runtime to another based on the runtime list.
64 64  
65 -{{warning}}Any operation that is incorrectly deleted from Deploy while still end up in the logic and could cause issue so pay attention when removing API Gateway operations.{{/warning}}
84 +//__Check on security header improved for API Gateway__//
85 +We improved the check in the API Gateway through which we validate whether an API caller is authenticated when using the API Key method to secure the API Gateway.
66 66  
67 -//__Update error handling during migration to the 3rd generation runtime__//
68 -As of now the error handling of all flows is correctly updated whilst migrating to the 3rd generation runtime configuration.
87 +//__Copy and paste default support objects__//
88 +With this release, you can now copy and paste components without worrying that additional support objects already existing in your target flow are copied over and over into the same flow.
69 69  
90 +//__Fix editability of properties when importing store items__//
91 +With this release, you can once again change property names upon importing a store item.
