5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks we worked hard on building several major things that will be released later this Q. On top of that we finished an additional features for our 3rd generation runtime that give you chirurgical precision when doing maintenance on a model. Among the additional features we have a new event streaming graph and some updates to our platform in general.
	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.
6	6
7		-== **Start/Stop Flows** ~*~* ==
	7	+== **"Live" mode on flow testing** ==
8	8
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}}
	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.
10	10
11		-To enhance the options you have when running into problems or when maintaining your solution in a Production environment, we have added a new feature to our Deploy phase called "Start/Stop Flows". You can access this functionality via the "Deploy Architecture" overview in Deploy. On runtime level you can open the context menu and select the option called "Start/Stop Flows".
	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.

	13	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-pop-up.png]]
14	14
15		-After selecting the option eMagiz will open a pop-up in which you can stop and start the starting point of each flow that is deployed on that runtime. The effect of this is that no new messages will be processed by the flow but all remaining messages will still be processed by the flow after stopping the flow. To stop a flow you simply select a flow and press the Stop button. To start it again press Start.
	15	+Once confirmed you will see that the user interface now indicates that the endpoint is in "live" mode.

19		-{{info}}Only in "Start Editing" mode you can actually start and stop specific flows{{/info}}
	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}}

21		-== **Manage overview Event Streaming** ~*~* ==
	23	+== **3rd generation improvements** ==
22	22
23		-To enhance the observability of your event streaming solution while running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture, we have added a new feature to our Manage phase called "Event streaing statistics." You can access this functionality via the "Monitoring" menu in Manage. Then, by clicking on the "Event streaing statistics" overview, you can see metadata information on all your topics. Among others you can see whether data is consumed, on which topic a lot of data is produced, and whether consumers are lagging in consuming data.
	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.
24	24
25		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@192-release-blog--event-streaming-overview-manage.png]]
	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.
26	26
	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.
	33	+
27	27	== **Feedback items ** ==
28	28
29		-We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
	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.
30	30
31		-//__Topic configuration calculation__//
32		-With this release we have simplified the configuration of settings on topic level to enforce certain best practices within the portal and at the same time make it easier to configure topics.
	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.
33	33
34		-//__Make preparation step in deployment plan visible__//
35		-For a deployment on the 3rd generation runtime to work some preparation work needs to be done by the portal. We have now made this step explicit and part of the deployment plan.
	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.
36	36
37		-{{warning}}Make sure to update your deployment plan accordingly to ensure that the preparation step is not forgotten{{/warning}}
	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.
38	38
39		-//__3rd generation runtime debugger feedback__//
40		-We have improved the user experience of the 3rd generation runtime debugger with this release by solving various feedback items we noticed in the first adoptions of the functionality.
	48	+== **Bug fixes ** ==
41	41
42		-//__No "Shift key" needed anymore to select multiple items in the flow designer__//
43		-As of now you do not have to hold your "Shift key" when you want to select multiple items in the flow designer. This will make it easier to select parts of flows.
	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.
44	44
45		-//__User Management synchronization now happens in one step__//
46		-With this release we have updated the synchronization process between Design and Deploy with regards to User Management. From now on, when you press the "Transfer from design" button both Users and Roles will be synchronized.
	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.
47	47
	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.

50	50	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:
