5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we worked hard on API improvements and 3rd generation improvements for you all to see. Amongst the API improvements we now introduce the option to define REST/XML structures in your API gateway for your API callers to call. This brings more options to the user community in setting up the API Gateway structure in accordance with the needs and desires of the client. On top of that we have released several 3rd generation improvements. Amongst these we will add WS-Security functionality to the runtime and improvements on viewing release properties. Furthermore we have released new cloud templates to improve security in our current runtime and improve the auto-healing for 3rd generation runtime cloud slots. Last but not least we release the first adaptation of "State generation" that can be implemented with the help of us in your model. In the upcoming monts we will gather feedback from actual client cases and improve on this functionality.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have work hard on improving our next generation architecture and introduced alerting functionality on top of our event streaming pattern based on user feedback. Furthermore there are several 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 -== **REST XML for API Gateway** ==
7 +== **Event streaming alerting** ==
8 8  
9 -{{warning}}Note that a decision needs to be made to select XML or JSON as default format for all your operations hosted in your API Gateway.{{/warning}}
9 +With this release we expand our alerting functionality into the event streaming pattern. As of now one new "static" alert is introduced for all clients (using event streaming) and two "dynamic" alerts are introduced that you can configure yourself if there is need for it.
10 10  
11 -To enhance your options when developing an API gateway that can be called by others we now introduce the option to select XML as the default message format on your API Gateway pattern. You can do this under Design -> Settings -> API Management. In here you can select and edit the settings.
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 whether messages on it are deleted due to a size or time constraint. In cases where data is deleted becomes the topic was too full way before the messages should have been removed as a result of the retention hours constraint this alert can be seen as an indication that messages might be deleted before consumer groups had the option to consume the messages.
12 12  
13 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@193-release-blog--rest-xml-default-setting.png]]
13 +The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on queue level we already offer to the community.
14 14  
15 -Every operation made after this decision will default to XML (or JSON which is still the default). Should you want to support JSON on some operations and XML on others you can select a default and manually correct the mediaType for the requests and responses to which it matters.
15 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@197-release-blog--new-alerting-options.png]]
16 16  
17 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@193-release-blog--rest-xml-change-media-type-setting.png]]
17 +The first new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once the total 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 message placed on a topic called "Exception" is less than 15 messages within 5 minutes.
18 18  
19 -==**Cloud Template update** ==
19 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--alert-config-example.png]]
20 20  
21 -We have released several new Cloud templates which will be installed via the auto-upgrade settings of your model (or manually in case not set).
22 -
23 -====Cloud Template R23 - Single Lane ====
21 +The second new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once one (or more) consumer groups is more than X number of messages behind on one or more topics. The configuration of this is comparable as we saw before.
24 24  
25 -This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup in the 2nd generation runtime. This cloud template will update some specific security settings on these cloud slots. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
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"]].
26 26  
27 -====Cloud Template R6 - Single Lane ====
25 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
28 28  
29 -This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup in the 3rd generation runtime. This cloud template will improve the auto-healing functionality of these cloud slots. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
27 +//__Increased grace period for shutdown__//
28 +In this release, we have increased the grace period a container gets to shutdown before it is forcefully shutdown. This should reduce the chance of unwanted failover behavior to pop-up within your model.
30 30  
31 -====Cloud Template R6 - Double Lane====
30 +//__Update at once or not__//
31 +This release fixes 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.
32 32  
33 -This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a double-lane setup in the 3rd generation runtime. This cloud template will improve the auto-healing functionality of these cloud slots. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
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 of 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.
34 34  
35 -== **WS-Security on the 3rd generation runtime** ~*~* ==
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.
36 36  
37 -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.
38 -
39 -== **State Generation ~*~* ==
40 -
41 -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.
42 -
43 -{{info}}Should you be interested in this functionality or want to learn more please contact us at productmanagement@emagiz.com{{/info}}
44 -
45 45  == **Feedback items ** ==
46 46  
47 -//__Removed OData as option for an API Gateway operation__//
48 -With this release, we have removed the OData operation option as it was not used and was not fully supported anymore by the platform.
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.
49 49  
50 -//__Changes in API Gateway operation paths is automatically updated in Create__//
51 -When you change your path on a hosted API Gateway we will now automatically update the accompanying component in your Create (all-)entry.
44 +//__Various styling improvements in the flow testing functionality__//
45 +Various smaller styling improvements have been added to the flow testing functionality to improve the overall user experience. For a complete list and more details please check out the release notes.
52 52  
53 -{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
54 -
55 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
56 -
57 -//__Prevent endless loop in Deploy -> User Management__//
58 -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.
59 -
60 -{{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}}
61 -
62 -//__Update error handling during migration to the 3rd generation runtime__//
63 -As of now the error handling of all flows is correctly updated whilst migrating to the 3rd generation runtime configuration.
