201 - Be Informed
Hi there, eMagiz developers! In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on planning the upcoming Q and finishing up features of the previous Q. More on that later. On top of that, we have several smaller items as a result of our hackathon efforts to present to you.
Announcement - Release Properties
As of the next release (202), we will introduce a new way of handling properties for all our clients. In the upcoming weeks, we will publish additional information on the process, what changes, and how you best manage your properties as of then within the documentation portal. Should you have any questions in advance, please get in touch with us at productmanagement@emagiz.com.
Deploy Architecture - Apply To Environment improvements
As of this release, we will show you a list of all changes about to be changed once you press "Apply to the environment" in Deploy Architecture. This will make it clearer for users, especially those working in teams, what will change when pressing this button.
Breadcrumb navigation in eMagiz
This release introduces the "breadcrumb" navigation in certain parts of eMagiz. This will mostly be noticed and impact the Create phase when you check out your transformation or system message on the flow level. Apart from there, the navigation is implemented consistently across the portal for a unified look and feel.
Feedback Items
Improved layout of catalog page in Design
We have improved the layout of the API Catalog overview in Design for our API Gateway users. Among others, we have introduced a scrollbar to get a better overview of several operations.
Improved layout of "Edit integration" pop-up for API Gateway integrations
Currently, the full path of your backend system will be shown when opening the "Edit integration" pop-up on your API Gateway integration.
Additional help texts on Design Architecture
We have improved the help texts in Design Architecture concerning the Event Streaming topic storage overview.
Improved Audit Trail on several places
In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.
Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API
This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
Bug Fixes
Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another
To avoid unexpected behavior, we now ensure that nothing can be selected once you see the "deletion" pop-up when you want to remove something in the flow designer.
Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture
We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights
This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed
This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
Fancy Forum Answers
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:
- Replacing Legacy eMagiz-Mendix Connector: Migration Plan
- Unknown character(s) does not create error message.
- Split gateway configuration for local GEN3 gateway
