5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvement points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. We have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation, improved when specific logging is triggered, and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that, we fixed several bugs surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado, let us look at all these improvements.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have processed additional feedback on the Manage phase to ensure you can more easily create overviews of your statistics, displaying all information correctly and improving the migration process to the next-generation architecture in the Create phase slightly. On top of that, we have improved the scalability of our new generation monitoring stack and the alerting structure. We will also release a new cloud template for our next-generation infrastructure to comply with technical requirements from our cloud provider.

7 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
7 +== ** Mandatory Cloud Template Upgrade - Next-generation models ** ==
8 8  
9 -//__Better feedback in the 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.
9 +As can be seen on our [[status page>>https://status.emagiz.com/incidents/dbh6g9w3ks7q||target="blank"]], we will release a new cloud template for our next-generation models (both single and double lane) that will change a configuration in these templates to comply with technical and operational requirements from our cloud provider. The announcement of the status page itself holds more detail for those to whom it pertains.
11 11  
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 alerts you receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
11 +== **Feedback Items** ==
14 14  
15 -//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
16 -This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrate your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
13 +//__Improved Validation when migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
14 +To improve the migration process to the next-generation architecture, we now show a list of all reported problems, allowing the user to resolve them before migrating to the next-generation architecture.
17 17  
18 -//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
19 -When a slot is put into standby mode, we also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models with this functionality. 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.
16 +{{info}}Note that when no problem is found, the migration process of that runtime will start automatically.{{/info}}
20 20  
21 -//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
22 -With this release, we have improved the process through which your deployment action is prepared by eMagiz. As a result, the chances of unexpected behavior occurring in your model are drastically reduced.
18 +//__Improved HTTP Statistics__//
19 +To improve the filtering and refresh functionality we offer on this overview, we have made several changes in this release that will improve the behavior of this overview.
23 23  
24 -//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
25 -When migrating your streaming container, we now consider whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination, additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without manual intervention.
21 +//__Show values on the runtime level in Deploy Architecture__//
22 +We have improved the values shown on the runtime (i.e., container) level in Deploy Architecture so you can better assess whether the memory configuration is still suitable for your deployed solution.
26 26  
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.
24 +{{info}}To get to the values we use different calculation methods per type of runtime, as certain runtime types have various reasons for existence.
25 +* JMS - The number of queues in the active release.
26 +* Messaging Container - The number of messaging integrations in the active release.
27 +* Messaging Connector - The number of messaging integrations related to this system in the active release.
28 +* API Gateway Container - The number of operations in the active release.
29 +* Event Streaming Container - The number of event processors in the active release.
29 29  
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 help texts to clarify what each chart our table displays to you.
31 +There might be multi-tenant and multi-runtime situations that do not always get to the exact number; however, this is a great improvement compared to showing no values.{{/info}}
32 32  
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.
33 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
35 35  
36 -{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesitate to contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:productmanagement@emagiz.com]] or read our [[documentation>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}
35 +//__Gain the ability again to configure certificates in Deploy Architecture again__//
36 +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.
37 37  
38 -== **Feedback items ** ==
38 +//__Ensure that differing container configurations deploy the correct configuration__//
39 +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.
39 39  
40 -//__Generation of security logic API Gateway in case of API Key as security method is improved__//
41 -With this release, we have improved the generation of security logic within the Create phase related to API Gateways that use the API Key method as their security mechanism.
41 +//__Remove queurying options in Manage__//
42 +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.
42 42  
43 -//__User Roles are sorted alphabetically__//
44 -All user roles under User Management are now also sorted alphabetically.
45 -
46 -//__Name of keystore for user management now includes the environment__//
47 -To improve the naming of the downloaded keystore that needs to be distributed to external parties, we have added the name of the environment to the filename. You can distinguish between the various environments by looking at the filename.
48 -
49 -//__Improved Topic calculations in Design Architecture__//
50 -Following our earlier improvements on the best practice configuration of topics we have now additionally updated the calculations on "Topic Storage" level to ensure that the configuration of a user is related to the total Assigned Size on "Topic Storage" level.
51 -
52 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
53 -
54 -//__Consolidated upgrade process cloud template__//
55 -With this release, we have removed some specific update options that could cause mismatches between what was visually displayed and what was happening in the cloud.
56 -
57 -//__Ensure users can deploy release on environments they have edit rights on__//
58 -Currently, users with limited rights in Deploy, for example, only edit rights in Test, can now activate and deploy releases ready for other environments but need to be deployed on the environment for which they have the rights to do so.
