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 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.

7 +== **"Live" mode on flow testing** ==
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 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 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 +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 -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 +Once confirmed you will see that the user interface now indicates that the endpoint is in "live" mode.

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 -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).

23 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
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"]]
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.

The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
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.

32 -
33 -This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a double-lane setup in the 3rd generation runtime.

35 -== **WS-Security on the 3rd generation runtime** ~*~* ==
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
52 52  
53 -{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
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.
54 54  
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 +
55 55  == **Bug fixes ** ==
56 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.
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.
59 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}}
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.
61 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.
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.
