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.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have crossed our t's and dotted our i's on the release properties functionality that will impact the day to day life of every user working within the platform. The focus of the release blog will consequently also be on this subject. On top of that we have several additional smaller feedback item coming from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.

7 -== **Start/Stop Flows** ~*~* ==
7 +== **Release Properties** ==
8 +As of this release, we will introduce a new way of handling properties for all our clients. This change intends to solidify the relationship between a release and a property value. Before, in the current generation architecture, timing of changing properties was crucial to avoid costly mistakes on Production. On top of that it was not always clear whether a property value was indeed updated as it was not linked to something that was deployed. These considerations let us to change the property management behavior not only on our next-generation architecture but also on our current generation architecture. Having said that, there are several key changes compared to the current way of managing your properties. Most notably among these are:

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}}
10 +* The current properties tab in Deploy will disappear. The new overview of the properties (and their values) can be found under the "Create phase release" in Deploy -> Releases
11 +* Property placeholders (i.e. the names of properties as given in Create) are now automatically created for you. This to avoid mistakes when filling them in.
12 +* When adding or editing a property you can *now* select multiple runtimes for which the property applies. This is mainly beneficial for those running in a double lane setup or having a distributed landscape of containers.
13 +* A, for most, new concept of a "property release" is introduced. With the help of this functionality you can easily change a property on Production without having to create a completely new release in Test and promote it to the Production environment.
10 10  
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.
15 +{{info}}For more information please check out the following microlearnings:

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.
21 +Should you have any questions in advance, please get in touch with us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].

24 +== ** Manage - Next generation graphs improvements ** ==
25 +As of this release, we will create a condensed view of your metrics when zooming out in the Manage phase graphs. This will significantly improve the performance of the manage graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.
18 18  
19 -{{info}}Only in "Start Editing" mode can you start and stop specific flows{{/info}}

21 -== **Manage overview Event Streaming** ~*~* ==
29 +== **Feedback Items** ==
22 22  
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.
31 +//__Improved editability when testing in eMagiz wihout Edit rights in Create__//
32 +Without having edit rights in the Create phase you could already do a lot on the level of flow tests in eMagiz. However, there were some oversights we missed during the implementation. These have been fixed allowing those without edit rights to now also change the name and description of the test case.

25 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@192-release-blog--event-streaming-overview-manage.png]]
34 +//__Improved auditability on Deploy Architecture__//
35 +To improve the audtiability on Deploy Architecture we now also log when someone with Admin rights changes specific functions on this level (i.e. Fixed IP).
26 26  
27 -== **Feedback items ** ==
37 +//__Test your own exported work__//
38 +We have now made it possible to test your own exported work to the Store before it gets approved. This will increase the quality of store items we have, and our partners, have on offer within the store.
28 28  
29 -We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
40 +{{info}}In case the concept of the store is new for you please check out this [[Fundamental>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-emagiz-store.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
30 30  
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.
42 +//__Improved Audit Trail on several places__//
43 +In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.
33 33  
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.
45 +//__Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API__//
46 +This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
36 36  
37 -{{warning}}Make sure to update your deployment plan accordingly to ensure that the preparation step is not forgotten{{/warning}}
48 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
38 38  
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.
50 +//__Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another__//
51 +To avoid unexpected behavior, we now ensure that nothing can be selected once you see the "deletion" pop-up when you want to remove something in the flow designer.
41 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.
53 +//__Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
54 +We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
44 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.
56 +//__Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights__//
57 +This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
47 47  
59 +//__Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed__//
60 +This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
