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.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on planning the upcoming Q and finishing up features of the last 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.
6 6  
7 -== **Event streaming alerting** ==
7 +== **Announcement - Release Properties** ==
8 +As of the next release (202) we will introduce a completely 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 contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
8 8  
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 +== ** Deploy Architecture - Apply To Environment improvements ** ==
11 +As of this release we will show you a list of all change that are about to be changed once you press "Apply to environment" in Deploy Architecture. This will ensure that it becomes clearer for users, especially those working together in teams, what will change when pressing this button.
10 10  
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.
13 +//__Enhanced right-hand view within Deployment Plan context__//
14 +When executing your deployment plan we will show specific log entries of the info category that indicate that a container (i.e. runtime) has started up correctly. On top of that we show the warnings and errors in this overview.
12 12  
13 -The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on queue level we already offer to the community.
16 +{{info}}Note that when the JMS container gets restarted connection errors in the logs are a normal thing to witness so keep your eyes peeled for the startup logging on JMS level to gain confidence in the deployment.{{/info}}
14 14  
15 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@197-release-blog--new-alerting-options.png]]
18 +//__Improved timeout settings when deploying__//
19 +To avoid mismatches between various parts of the infrastructure we have improved the timeout configuration on certain deployment plan steps to reduce the chance that these mismatches occur.
16 16  
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.
21 +{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the current-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
18 18  
19 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--alert-config-example.png]]
23 +//__Detailed HTTP Statistics now show user info in specific additional cases__//
24 +To solve a bug for a specific client we changed the logic to show the user info (i.e. first part of the api key) in a specific implementation just as we already do in our standard implementations.
20 20  
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.
26 +{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the next-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
22 22  
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"]].
28 +//__Improved loading speed of Manage Dashboard__//
29 +This release improves the loading speed with which all the dashboards in Manage are shown to the user. This will enhance the user experience within the Manage phase.
24 24  
25 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
31 +== **Store Improvements** ==
26 26  
27 -//__Event Streaming statistics completion__//
28 -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.
33 +//__Importing in Design is improved__//
34 +We have solved a bug that could cause issues when importing something in Design while the accompanying integration was not yet in Create.
29 29  
30 -//__Deployments on next generation architecture__//
31 -This release fixes several smaller bugs and adds several improvements to the deployment process of the next generation architecture.
36 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
32 32  
33 -//__Clean queues option__//
34 -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.
38 +//__Deprecated reminder pop-up removed__//
39 +We have removed a reminder pop-up on a pending cloud template as it was deprecated and could cause issues when using it in communication with other systems.
35 35  
36 -== **Feedback items ** ==
41 +//__Improved selection area in Flow Designer__//
42 +When working on a large flow you can now select specific areas easily while you are scrolled down further down the flow.
37 37  
38 -//__On-premise containers are started upon slot wakeup__//
39 -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.
44 +//__Improved Kafka settings__//
45 +For all flows that use a Kafka related component within the flow designer we will run a migration to update every single one of them to the new best practices and create a new flow version for them.
40 40  
41 -//__Resource path is shown to the user__//
42 -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.
47 +{{info}}We strongly encourage all users that use these components to update to these new best practices as they increase stability of the cluster and throughput of the solution{{/info}}
43 43  
44 -//__Flow designer improvements__//
45 -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 -
47 -//__Improved capabilities of a company contact__//
48 -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.
49 -
50 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
51 -
52 -//__Optional API parameters are handled correctly__//
53 -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.
54 -
55 -//__Without CDM rights nothing related to any data model can be edited anymore__//
56 -With this release, we have made sure that nothing related to any data model can be edited without having the proper rights.
57 -
58 -//__Improved sorting of Design and Deploy archticture__//
59 -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.
