5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have work hard on improving our next generation architecture and introduced the "live" mode within our flow testing functionality. Furthermore there are loads of smaller feedback items and bugs that have been resolved with this release. So without further ado let us dive into all we have to offer.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving our next-generation architecture and introduced alerting functionality on top of our event streaming pattern based on user feedback. Furthermore, several smaller feedback items and bugs have been resolved with this release. So without further ado, let us dive into all we have to offer.
6 6  
7 -== **"Live" mode on flow testing** ==
7 +== **Event streaming alerting** ==
8 8  
9 -With this release we bring an improved version of the flow testing functionality. As of now you will have the option to switch between "live" and "mock" mode will running a flow test. The "mock" mode is the mode you are used to from us. In this mode all external communication is mocked by the system and only the functional process can be tested.
9 +This release expands our alerting functionality into the event streaming pattern. As of now, one new "static" alert has been introduced for all clients (using event streaming), and two "dynamic" alerts have been introduced that you can configure yourself if there is a need for it.
10 10  
11 -By switching to "live" mode you can not only test the functional process but also the communication to the external system. You can do so by entering the "edit" mode of the flow test and toggle between "mock" and "live" mode. When doing so eMagiz will show you the following pop-up stressing the consequences of your actions.
11 +The "static" alert we have added raises an alert (and a subsequent email) when the actual topic size crosses the threshold of 80% of the configured maximum retention size on a topic. This alert provides insights into whether messages on it are deleted due to a size or time constraint. In cases where data is deleted, the topic was too full way before the messages should have been removed due to the retention hours constraint. This alert can indicate that messages might be deleted before consumer groups had the option to consume the messages.
12 12  
13 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-pop-up.png]]
13 +The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on the queue level we already offer to the community.
14 14  
15 -Once confirmed you will see that the user interface now indicates that the endpoint is in "live" mode.
15 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@197-release-blog--new-alerting-options.png]]
16 16  
17 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-result.png]]
17 +The first new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once the number of messages on one (or more topics) is less than a certain number per defined time unit. So, for example, you can configure an alert once the number of messages placed on a topic called "Exception" is less than 15 messages within 5 minutes.
18 18  
19 -{{info}}* The following restrictions apply for this functionality
20 - ** "Live" mode can only be activated on HTTP outbound gateway components
21 - ** "Live" mode can **not** be active when you want to use the flow test as an "automated" test{{/info}}
19 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--alert-config-example.png]]
22 22  
23 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
21 +The second new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once one (or more) consumer groups are more than X messages behind on one or more topics. The configuration of this is comparable to what we saw before.
24 24  
25 -//__Event Streaming statistics completion__//
26 -In this release, we have updated the retrieval of data to ensure that for all models, all environments and all topics this data can be shown to the user so they can properly monitor the environment.
23 +For more information on the generic way of working surrounding alerting, please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] and this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.Alerting.novice-alerting-dynamic-alerting.WebHome||target="blank"]].
27 27  
28 -//__Deployments on next generation architecture__//
29 -This release fixes several smaller bugs and adds several improvements to the deployment process of the next generation architecture.
25 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
30 30  
31 -//__Clean queues option__//
32 -This release introduces an option for **admins** to clean queues that remained after a migration towards the next generation runtime architecture. This will make the overview of which queues are "problematic" a much more realistic overview.
27 +//__Increased grace period for shutdown__//
28 +In this release, we have increased a container's grace period to shut down before it is forcefully shut down. This should reduce the chance of unwanted failover behavior within your model.
33 33  
34 -== **Feedback items ** ==
30 +//__Update at once or not__//
31 +This release fixes and re-introduces the option to execute your actions on the eMagiz per zone or all at once when running in a double-lane Docker setup.
35 35  
36 -//__On-premise containers are started upon slot wakeup__//
37 -With this release, we have added additional functionality to models running in the next generation runtime architecture. With this improvement all on-premise containers are stopped when the cloud slot goes to sleep and are woken up once the slot is woken up in the morning.
33 +//__Improved user feedback while executing a deployment plan__//
34 +This release introduces additional feedback to the user when the deployment plan is executed. This is noticeable when a step cannot be executed properly. The relevant information about why this cannot be executed is shown to the user. This way, they can take this information and act upon it instead of assuming everything went well.
38 38  
39 -//__Resource path is shown to the user__//
40 -You can now, without downloading, see the resource path of a resource by viewing the metadata of the resource. You can do so by pressing the "eye" icon to view this information.
36 +//__Improved auto-healing when running in a hybrid situation__//
37 +In situations where you run in a hybrid situation (i.e., partly next-gen and partly the current generation), we have improved the auto-healing functionality in case an "out of memory" appears on a runtime running in the current generation but on a next-generation architecture.
41 41  
42 -//__Flow designer improvements__//
43 -With this release various improvements have been made to the flow designer. Among others we have improved the overview of what an "unused resource" is. You now have the option to define certain resources that are used but cannot be auto-detected by eMagiz to be an "used" resource to avoid confusion.
39 +== **Feedback items ** ==
44 44  
45 -//__Improved capabilities of a company contact__//
46 -With this release we have improved the capabilities of a company contact. As of now you can also add users to models belonging to subcompanies below your the company to which you are the company contact.
41 +//__Make sure the message format can be viewed without "Start editing"__//
42 +With this release, we have ensured that when you navigate to Design -> System message, you can see the message format (i.e., XML, JSON, or EDI) without entering the "Start Editing" mode.
47 47  
48 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
44 +//__Various styling improvements in the flow testing functionality__//
45 +Various minor styling improvements have been added to the flow testing functionality to improve the overall user experience. Please check out the release notes for a complete list and more details.
49 49  
50 -//__Optional API parameters are handled correctly__//
51 -Currently, eMagiz would create the wrong expression for handling optional API parameters. With this release we have improved the expression in such a way that all optional parameters are handled correctly out of the box.
52 -
53 -//__Without CDM rights nothing related to any data model can be edited anymore__//
54 -With this release, we have made sure that nothing related to any data model can be edited without having the proper rights.
55 -
56 -//__Improved sorting of Design and Deploy archticture__//
57 -With this release, we now ensure that both Design and Deploy architecture are sorted in the same manner to avoid confusion when quickly switching between both views.
