5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have done much work for the Deploy phase. On top of that, we have worked on several store functionalities. Next to this, we have several smaller feedback items from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we worked hard on building several essential things that will be released later this Q. On top of that, we finished additional features for our 3rd generation runtime that give you chirurgical precision when doing maintenance on a model. Among the other features, we have a new event streaming graph and general updates to our platform.

7 -== **Deployment Plan** ==
7 +== **Start/Stop Flows** ~*~* ==
8 8  
9 -//__Improved deployment plan to make the process better and more predictable__//
10 -The algorithm for genarating a default deployment plan is improved to keep jms downtime and alerting to a minimum. Next to this, the start/stop/restart machine deployment steps are now also executed correctly for aws and on-premises machines.
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}}
11 11  
12 -//__Editing release properties__//
13 -With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
11 +To enhance your options 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 the runtime level, you can open the context menu and select the "Start/Stop Flows" option.
14 14  
15 -//__JMS memory setting check__//
16 -A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.

17 17  
18 -//__Properties tab__//
19 -We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
20 -
21 -//__Cleanup old images__//
22 -
23 -== **Store Improvements** ==
24 -
15 +After selecting the option, eMagiz will open a pop-up where you can stop and start the starting point of each flow deployed on that runtime. This effect is that the flow will process no new messages, but the flow will still process all remaining messages after stopping the flow. To prevent a flow, you select a flow and press the Stop button. To start it again, press Start.
25 25  
26 -== **Feedback Items** ==
17 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@192-release-blog--start-stop-flows-pop-up-menu.png]]
27 27  
28 -//__Alerting manual pause__//
29 -A few releases ago we changed the behavior of alerting in the deployment plan. Now each time when a deployment plan is executed the alerting will be automatically re-enabled when the deployer closes the deployment plan or closes the web browser. The majority of the users are happy with the new behavior, but there are some use cases that you do not want start the alerting immediately. With this release, if alerting has been paused manually, this will not be activated automatically after a release deployment.
19 +{{info}}Only in "Start Editing" mode can you start and stop specific flows{{/info}}
30 30  
31 -//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
32 -The graphs in Manage are now ordered according to importance. This means that runtime statistics are sorted by "Process CPU usage" (highest first), queue statistics are sorted by "Messages in queue" (highest first), and HTTP statistics are sorted by "Unsuccessful requests" (highest first).
21 +== **Manage overview Event Streaming** ~*~* ==
33 33  
34 -//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
35 -All Grafana panels now show UTC times, which are normally used in eMagiz, instead of local (browser) time zones. This way, it is easier to match graphs with logging events or alerts.
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 streaming statistics." You can access this functionality via the "Monitoring" menu in Manage. Then, you can see metadata information on all your topics by clicking on the "Event streaming statistics" overview. Among others, you can see whether data is consumed, on which topic much data is produced, and whether consumers are lagging in consuming data.
36 36  
37 -//__Update flow designer version__//
38 -The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.

42 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
29 +We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
43 43  
44 -//__Gain the ability again to configure certificates in Deploy Architecture again__//
45 -In restricting the configuration options on the certificate level in one of our latter releases, it became impossible for normal users to add and edit certificates within Deploy Architecture. To resolve this problem we have now released a fix to resolve this issue, giving people the ability again to add and edit certificates under Deploy Architecture.
31 +//__Topic configuration calculation__//
32 +With this release, we have simplified the configuration of settings on the topic level to enforce certain best practices within the portal and simultaneously make it easier to configure topics.
46 46  
47 -//__Ensure that differing container configurations deploy the correct configuration__//
48 -When you run in a multi-runtime configuration and change the actual flows that need to run on container A vs. container B, it happened before that all flows were still being deployed on all runtimes. With this release, we will feed this information correctly to our infrastructure to ensure the correct and configured flows are deployed on the proper containers.
34 +//__Make preparation step in deployment plan visible__//
35 +For deployment on the 3rd generation runtime to work, the portal needs some preparation work. We have now made this step explicit and part of the deployment plan.
49 49  
50 -//__Remove queurying options in Manage__//
51 -To avoid errors and loading problems when analyzing your statistics in Manage, we have removed the option to select a default time range spanning more than seven days. This is to guarantee the stability of the solution and to avoid users getting unnecessary errors.
37 +{{warning}}Make sure to update your deployment plan accordingly to ensure that the preparation step is not forgotten{{/warning}}
52 52  
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.
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.
44 +
45 +//__User Management synchronization now happens in one step__//
46 +With this release, we have updated the synchronization process between Design and Deploy concerning User Management. When you press the "Transfer from design" button, both Users and Roles will be synchronized.
