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 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.

7 -== **"Live" mode on flow testing** ==
7 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
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 +//__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.
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.
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.
12 12  
13 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-pop-up.png]]
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.
14 14  
15 -Once confirmed you will see that the user interface now indicates that the endpoint is in "live" mode.
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.
16 16  
17 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-result.png]]
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.
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}}
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.
22 22  
23 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
36 +{{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||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}
33 33  
34 34  == **Feedback items ** ==
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.
40 +//__Removed OData as option for an API Gateway operation__//
41 +With this release, we have removed the OData operation option as it was not used and was not fully supported anymore by the platform.
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.
43 +//__Changes in API Gateway operation paths is automatically updated in Create__//
44 +When you change your path on a hosted API Gateway we will now automatically update the accompanying component in your Create (all-)entry.
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.
46 +{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
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.
47 -
48 48  == **Bug fixes ** ==
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.
50 +//__Prevent endless loop in Deploy -> User Management__//
51 +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.
52 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.
53 +{{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}}
55 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.
55 +//__Update error handling during migration to the 3rd generation runtime__//
56 +As of now the error handling of all flows is correctly updated whilst migrating to the 3rd generation runtime configuration.
