Carlijn Kokkeler 233.1 5 **Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have done much work for state generation, so that you can derive more information from your data! Examples are enrichment, aggregation, change detection and duplicate detection. Next to state generation, several improvements regarding the alignment of components have been made. Moreover, performance improvements and bug fixes have been implemented. Lastly, a change in the metrics storage duration has been performed.
Carlijn Kokkeler 206.1 6
Carlijn Kokkeler 207.1 7 {{warning}}State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license.{{/warning}}

Carlijn Kokkeler 203.1 9 == **State Generation~*~*** ==
Carlijn Kokkeler 172.1 10
Carlijn Kokkeler 185.1 11 //__New components__//
12 The following components have been added:
13 * Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
Carlijn Kokkeler 190.1 14 * Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
Carlijn Kokkeler 185.1 15 * Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
Carlijn Kokkeler 190.1 16 * Duplicate detector: support object used to detect duplicate messages for a certain key on an inbound channel of a flow component. Duplicates can be marked or discarded.
Carlijn Kokkeler 185.1 17 * Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
Carlijn Kokkeler 227.1 18
Carlijn Kokkeler 185.1 19 //__SpEL functions & JSON__//
20 Added SpEL functions for:
Carlijn Kokkeler 188.1 21 * Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac.
22 * Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond).
23 * Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser).
Carlijn Kokkeler 187.1 24
Carlijn Kokkeler 186.1 25 Added support for SpEL property accessors for XML and JSON, meaning that you can read message payloads in SpEL expressions easily. For example, to retrieve the value for 'id' in the following JSON String: `{"id":"123"}`, this SpEL expression suffices: `payload.id`.
Erik Bakker 151.1 26
Erik Bakker 238.1 27 Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions. With this functionality, you can access your JSON payloads in a similar way as you would access XML payloads using [[xPath>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Advanced Level.Create your transformations.advanced-create-your-transformations-xpath-advanced||target="blank"]].
Erik Bakker 181.1 28
Carlijn Kokkeler 209.1 29 {{info}}The components are all configurable from the Flow Designer in Create and are accompanied by a help text explaining the use cases and the various technical configurations. Note that to make the components work in your model, a new release containing the latest image (2.0.0) needs to be deployed.{{/info}}
Carlijn Kokkeler 188.1 30
Carlijn Kokkeler 241.1 31 {{warning}}The library used for Code Mappings has been changed. Any customer with next generation architecture runtimes and code mappings is required to reset their container infra flows prior to deploying on image 2.0.0. This has no consequences on a functional level. {{/warning}}
Carlijn Kokkeler 226.1 32
Carlijn Kokkeler 185.1 33 == **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
Carlijn Kokkeler 204.1 34 We will change the retention of monitoring data of different environments. For minute level data, it will be kept for test, acceptance and production environments for 7, 14 and 30 days respectively. Then the minute level data will be reduced to hour level data then will be stored for test, acceptance and production for 3, 6 and 12 months respectively.

Erik Bakker 149.1 44
Carlijn Kokkeler 195.1 45 //__Import from store__//
Carlijn Kokkeler 220.1 46 The button 'Import from Store' in Design will directly open the store instead of showing a pop up asking whether the store should be opened.
Erik Bakker 151.1 47
Carlijn Kokkeler 196.1 48 //__Save and cancel buttons placement__//
49 The save and cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
Erik Bakker 151.1 50
Carlijn Kokkeler 195.1 51 //__User session times__//
Carlijn Kokkeler 221.1 52 The user session times for next generation architecture dashboards have been extended, so that the user is not thrown out of the model when using the Manage phase for longer than an hour.
Erik Bakker 151.1 53
Carlijn Kokkeler 198.1 54 //__Cancel and next buttons order__//
Carlijn Kokkeler 196.1 55 The order of the cancel and next buttons when creating a new trigger has been changed to increase alignment across the platform. Now, all cancel buttons are placed on the right of a 'next' or 'save' button.
Carlijn Kokkeler 155.1 56
Carlijn Kokkeler 197.1 57 //__Data sink page__//
58 The data sink page has been moved to the “Explore” tab.
59
60 //__Unused images removal__//
61 When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
62
63 //__Flow Designer performance__//
64 Performance improvements for the Flow Designer have been implemented.
65
66 //__Properties with special characters__//
Carlijn Kokkeler 222.1 67 When a user would migrate to the next generation architecture and deploy their release containing properties with special characters, certain flows could not find the correct values to properties anymore or could not find the properties altogether. With this release, special characters such as a backslash do not break properties after deployment.
Carlijn Kokkeler 197.1 68
69 //__Hidden flow fragements__//
70 When importing items from the store, flow fragments that are hidden in design will be listed under the versions in create.
71
72 //__Resources disappearances__//
73 Resources would disappear in the flow designer when pressing Cancel on selecting a new resource. With this release, resources without a name will not trigger error messages when users select components.
74
75 //__Error channel for all inbounds__//
Carlijn Kokkeler 223.1 76 If there is no custom error handling, next generation migration would set the error channel to “errorChannel” only for the first inbound in an entry flow. We added a migration step, such that the error channel is set to “errorChannel” of all inbounds in a flow if the custom error handling is set to false.
Carlijn Kokkeler 197.1 77
78 //__Highlighting resources__//
79 The performance of highlighting resources of selected components is improved in Read only mode.
80
Erik Bakker 124.1 81 == **Bug Fixes** ==
Carlijn Kokkeler 197.1 82
Carlijn Kokkeler 196.1 83 //__Topic and event-processor names__//
84 The styling of the event streaming canvas in the Create and Deploy phases has been altered slightly to make topic and event-processor names more readable.
Erik Bakker 122.1 85
Carlijn Kokkeler 196.1 86 //__System alignment__//
Carlijn Kokkeler 229.1 87 The positioning of Systems across Design, Create and Deploy phases are now synchronized to the position of their respective System in the Capture phase. So, systems are aligned regarding positioning across all phases. This will be done for existing systems as well.
Erik Bakker 148.1 88
Carlijn Kokkeler 234.1 89 //__Error alerting__//
Carlijn Kokkeler 224.1 90 The error trigger is now configured to check if an error message contains a certain term, besides checking the error header.
Carlijn Kokkeler 197.1 91
92 //__Alerting__//
Carlijn Kokkeler 234.1 93 For the next generation architecture models, several adaptations to triggers have been made.
Carlijn Kokkeler 225.1 94 * For the next generation architecture models, you will no longer receive alert messages for every error message, every log message of 'level' ERROR, and for memory usage above 80%.
95 * For the next generation architecture models with event streaming, the threshold to receive the 'Topic approaching maximum size' alert has been increased from 95% of configured size used to 110%.
96 * The next generation architecture configurable trigger for error messages has been extended with the option to check whether the 'last-exception' message contained a certain text. This can be combined with the header-value match.
Carlijn Kokkeler 197.1 97
98 //__Unused containers__//
99 Containers are set inactive when they are unused and removed in Design.
100
101 //__Error popups when promoting a release version__//
102 We fixed an issue that a lot of error popups were shown when you promoted a release version to a next environment.
103
Carlijn Kokkeler 240.1 104 {{warning}}There is a new eMagiz Mendix connector available because a memory leak was found, only affecting Mendix connectors that have been migrated to the next generation architecture. It is advised to upgrade to the new eMagiz Mendix connector before fully migrating to the next generation architecture. {{/warning}}
