5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on a lot of things that are unfortanetly not quite ready to be released. As a result the ouput of this release is limited. Having said that we still bring some key improvements in the Deploy and Manage phase that would make life much easier.
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.
6 6  
7 -== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
7 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
8 8  
9 -//__Enhanced right-hand view within Deployment Plan context__//
10 -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.
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.
11 11  
12 -{{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}}
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.
13 13  
14 -//__Improved timeout settings when deploying__//
15 -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.
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.
16 16  
17 -{{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 +//__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.
18 18  
19 -//__Detailed HTTP Statistics now show user info in specific additional cases__//
20 -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.
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.
21 21  
22 -{{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}}
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.
23 23  
24 -//__Improved loading speed of Manage Dashboard__//
25 -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.
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.
26 26  
27 -== **Store Improvements** ==
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.
28 28  
29 -//__Importing in Design is improved__//
30 -We have solved a bug that could cause issues when importing something in Design while the accompanying integration was not yet in Create.
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.
31 31  
32 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
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.WebHome||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}
33 33  
34 -//__Deprecated reminder pop-up removed__//
35 -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.
38 +== **Feedback items ** ==
36 36  
37 -//__Improved selection area in Flow Designer__//
38 -When working on a large flow you can now select specific areas easily while you are scrolled down furhter down the flow.
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.
39 39  
40 -//__Improved Kafka settings_//
41 -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.
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.
42 42  
43 -{{info}}We stronly 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}}
46 +{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
44 44  
48 +== **Bug fixes ** ==
49 +
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 +
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}}
54 +
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.

45 45  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
46 46  
47 47  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:
