--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have been hard at work bolstering our offering concerning the upcoming rollout of our new architecture stack. Next to that, we have made several small updates as this release contained a complete revamp of the Manage phase. Please take a moment to read the below carefully and work with the new flow designer as soon as possible to familiarize yourself with this one.
++**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks we worked hard on building several major things that will be released later this Q. On top of that we finished an additional features for our 3rd generation runtime that give you chirurgical precision when doing maintenance on a model. Among the additional features we have the dynamic alerting and the debugger functionality.
--==**Store additions**==
--We have released several Store items that can be used in the Design Store and which include complete data models and transformations. See the list below of the components that have these.
--
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@185 - Release blog 3.png]]
++== **Start/Stop Flows** ~*~* ==
--==**Audit trail User Management**==
--Since the introduction of the API Gateway and Event Streaming patterns in eMagiz, the notion of users and roles have been added to the platform. In the User Management section in Deploy you will find the overview of the users and roles configured in your model. With this release we have also added the history tab to this page in which the platform registers the changes made in Users & Roles. At the moment when the user presses the Apply to environment button, the changes between the previous history entry and this action are registered in this section. The popup that is displayed when pressing Apply to environment has been expanded with the list of entries that will be added to this History section.

--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@185 - Release blog 1.png]]
++{{warning}}Note that depending on the alert this functionality will only work when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime{{/warning}}
--==**Next Generation Monitoring & Alerting engine**==
--In the recent sprints, we have completed our alerting & monitoring engine for our new runtime architecture. Effectively that means that we are now using State Generation components inside this architecture, and all error messages, runtime metrics and logging are now passing through this engine. All of our regular Manage phase screens have been updated to point to the new storage locations.
++To enhance the options you have 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 runtime level you can open the context menu and select the option called "Start/Stop Flows".
++
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@192-release-blog--start-stop-flows-context-menu.png]]
++
--* In the Manage phase we have introduced proper means to toggle between data of the current and the new monitoring stack (transition to the new runtime can be a runtime by runtime approach).
--* We have also released and described the new Manage phase graphs in [[Release blog 183>>https://docs.emagiz.com/bin/view/Main/Release%20Information/Release%20Blogs/Rainbow%20World||target="blank"]].
--* In the new architecture all error messages are automatically send to the eMagiz monitoring & alerting stack, which means that these flow components are no longer required. During migration these will be removed. In case custom error handling is required, these components are made available in the Create Store and will point to the current error flow (which serves a new purpose from then onwards)
--* Hosted SOAP Webservices can be migrated to the new architecture which removes the need to use the Jetty component, and introduces the request layer as root element in the System Message. This removes the need for custom XSD to validate incoming request to the SOAP webservice. The new HTTP Statistics page can be leveraged to review SOAP traffic as well.
--* The Docker Cloud templates are now also connected to the eMagiz support infrastructure providing cloud instance level alarms
++{{info}}Only in "Start Editing" mode you can actually start and stop specific flows{{/info}}
--=== **Improvements** ===
--
--* Performance Deployment plan
--When running a Deployment plan on a large environment, the browser would consume a significant amount of CPU. This has been improved with this release.
--
--* Flow Designer updates
--We have added an icon to identify a Queued channel which are mostly found in entry flows that use the h2 bridge. Furthermore, the display of wiretaps and annotations can be copied now. Next to that some small UI improvements where made.

--* Store
--We have fixed several smaller Store import issues to improve the user experience.

++  observability of your integration landscape while running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture, we have added a new feature to our Manage phase called "Dynamic Alerts." You can access this functionality via the "Alerting" menu in Manage. Then, with the help of the "Trigger" overview, you can view all triggers on your environment. On the top of the list you will see all "static" alerts as defined by eMagiz. Below that you will see all "dynamic" alerts that you and your fellow teammembers (with sufficient rights) can view, edit and delete.
++
++We offer alerting on five types.
++
++* Error message
++* Log message
++* Queue consumers
++* Messages in queue
++* Queue throughput
++
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--dynamic-alert-trigger-options.png]]
++
++These five options give you the option to configure more or less the same as you are currently used to when configuring triggers. Once you make a choice for a type you can press the "Next" button to fill in the details of the trigger. One example of how this can look is shown below.
++
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--dynamic-alert-trigger-input.png]]
++
++Once the trigger tab is filled in you can navigate to the "Output" tab to select the recipients for the trigger you are configuring. On top of that you can reduce the number of message at which congestion control is enabled if ten is too high for you.
++
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--dynamic-alert-trigger-output.png]]
++
++== **Debugger ** ~*~* ~* ==
++
++{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when the following criteria are met.
++* Your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime
++* The store item called "3rd generation debugger" is imported in the infra flow of each runtime for which you want the ability to debug
++* A new release is created that includes the flow changes and this release is deployed to the environment(s){{/warning}}
++
++As with our current offering, we now offer a functionality with which you can debug channels and see them via the eMagiz portal. As stated above to get to this point you need to execute several steps to get your model ready to be "debugged". Once you have done this you can activate the "debug" mode, via Deploy -> Containers for **one** specific flow **per** runtime that is of particular interest to you. Once you have done this you will see a pop-up telling you whether the "debug" mode was indeed activated or not.
++
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--debugger-action-success.png]]
++
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--debugger-action-failure.png]]
++
++Assuming it was activated correctly you can navigate to Manage -> Explore -> Queue browser and select the emagiz.debug queue to see the messages coming through.
++
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--debugger-output-queue-browser.png]]
++
++{{info}}Note the following limitations when working with the debugger.
++  * Your entire model needs to be migrated to the 3rd generation runtime
++  * Only **one** flow **per** runtime can be debugged **per** environment
++  * There is only **one** overview in which **all** debugged messages are shown
++  * Message payload in excess of 100KB are not shown in the queue browser as they constitute a "large message"
++  * The debug functionality works for a period of five minutes in which you can use the refresh button to see new messages coming in.
++    ** After five minutes the debug functionality will be shutdown automatically under water.
++    ** To see new messages after the five minutes you will have to access the debug functionality again from scratch.{{/info}}
++
++== **Volume mapping - Network Share** ==
++
++This release will introduce an additional functionality within our [[volume mapping>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.File based connectivity.novice-file-based-connectivity-volume-mapping-on-premise||target="blank"]] offering. With this additional configuration option you can configure a network share and configure it to create a mapping between a network share and a docker volume.

++
++== **Feedback items ** ==
++
++We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
++
++//__Show status on machine level under Deploy Architecture__//
++With this release we are now able to show the status of the machine when opening the "Details" overview on machine level in Deploy -> Architecture.
++
++//__Improved validation feedback on non-supported WSS4J interceptor __//
++We have improved the validation feedback when someone tries to implement a specific WSS4J interceptor implementation.
++
++//__Improve help text in flow testing on Java classes__//
++We have improved the helptext when you are adding headers to your test message. In this helptext we explain the top five Java classes and how to note them down to make it work in the flow testing functionality and in eMagiz in general.
++
++//__Improved readibility of notification when trying to delete a runtime__//
++When you have forgotten one or more steps when deleting a runtime you will be notified by the system on this. With this release we have improved the readibility of the notification.
++
++//__Improved sorting of missing properties overview__//
++We have improved the sorting on the missing properties overview you will encounter when activating the "check properties" option.
++
++//__Improved notification when error message cannot be found__//
++We have improved the notification when an error message cannot be found from the message redelivery overview in our 3rd generation runtime.
++
++//__Additional lifecycle management overview__//
++We have added an additional lifecycle management overview to the portal in which users with enough permissions can get an overview of the lifecycle "state" of all customer models.
++
++//__Improved feedback when memory settings are negative__//
++We have added an additional check that validates whether memory settings on a specific container are of a negative value. In these cases you will be blocked from applying the changes to the environment as this won't lead to a working solution.
++
++//__Auto upgrade for a cloud template default to "ON"__//
++For each new cloud slot we will toggle the "automtatic cloud template update" to "Yes".
++
++//__Removed an irrelevant refresh button on a flow designer component__//
++We have removed an irrelevant refresh button on the standard filter component.
++
++//__Notification list shows all notifications on default__//
++When navigating to the Notification overview in Manage under Alerting you will now see all notifications instead of a filtered list on a specific state.
++
++== **Bug fixes ** ==
++
++//__Keep selection when copying properties__//
++We have fixed the bug that prevented you from easily copying properties from one runtime to another based on the runtime list.
++
++//__Check on security header improved for API Gateway__//
++We improved the check in the API Gateway through which we validate whether an API caller is authenticated when using the API Key method to secure the API Gateway.
++
++//__Don't show systems with only "external" flows in Design__//
++We fixed a bug that caused systems to appear in Design in cases where there should be none.
++
++//__Fix styling of mendix login in some occurences__//
++When navigating to a specific URL the default Mendix login page would be shown. With this release we have fixed this behavior.
++
++//__Change timing of wake-up of cloud slots on Friday__//
++To prevent timing issues of waking up cloud slots on the Friday of our deployment we have changed the timing of when the cloud slots are woken up on Friday.
++
++//__Fixed a typo in the Topic statistics overview__//
++We fixed a typo in the topic statistics overview.
++
++//__Fixed a typo in the HTTP statistics overview__//
++We fixed a typo in the HTTP statistics overview.
++
++//__Activatation of release history when executing a deployment__//
++We ensured that the release history is activated when executing a deployment.
