5 -**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.
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.

7 -==**Audit trail User Management**==
8 -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.

7 +== **Start/Stop Flows** ~*~* ==
11 11  
12 -==**Next Generation Monitoring & Alerting engine**==
13 -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.
14 -
15 -* 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).
16 -* 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"]].
17 -* 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)
18 -* 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.
19 -* The Docker Cloud templates are now also connected to the eMagiz support infrastructure providing cloud instance level alarms

22 -=== **Improvements** ===
23 -
24 -* Performance Deployment plan
25 -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.
26 -
27 -* Flow Designer updates
28 -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.

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

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.
12 +
13 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@192-release-blog--start-stop-flows-context-menu.png]]
14 +
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.

19 +{{info}}Only in "Start Editing" mode can you start and stop specific flows{{/info}}
20 +
21 +== **Manage overview Event Streaming** ~*~* ==
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.

26 +
27 +== **Feedback items ** ==
28 +
29 +We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
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.
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.
36 +
37 +{{warning}}Make sure to update your deployment plan accordingly to ensure that the preparation step is not forgotten{{/warning}}
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.
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.
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.
