--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have hit the ground running this quarter by focusing on more prominent features and spending a substantial chunk of time focusing with us all on a lot of smaller feedback items and bugs. All these items will be provided to you with this release. Among these are flow designer improvements, navigation improvements, and consistency improvements. On top of that, we have made our new monitoring stack available to the first set of models. So let us dive into all we have to offer this time!
++**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks we had our quarterly "hackathon" in which we fixed a series of annoying bugs and introduced many small improvements. On top of that we also finished several additional features for our 3rd generation runtime that will make your life while running on the 3rd generation runtime easier and better manageable. Among the additional features we have the dynamic alerting and the debugger functionality.
--== **New monitoring stack** ==
++== **Dynamic Alerts** ~*~* ==
--This release will introduce a new monitoring stack available for models that run in the new runtime architecture of eMagiz. With the help of this monitoring stack, we have redesigned various screens in Manage and restructured our alerting approach. For a sneak preview of these changes, please check out the following microlearnings.
++{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime{{/warning}}
--* [[Runtime Statistics>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-interpreting-runtime-statistics-gen3.WebHome||target="blank"]]
--* [[Alerting in eMagiz>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3.WebHome||target="blank"]]
--* [[Queue Statistics>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Messaging.crashcourse-messaging-interpreting-queue-statistics-gen3.WebHome||target="blank"]]
--* [[HTTP Statistics>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Advanced Level.Advanced monitoring.HTTP Statistics.WebHome||target="blank"]]
++To enhance the observability of your integration landscape while running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture, we have added a new feature to our Manage phase called the "Queue browser." You can access this functionality via the "Explore" menu in Manage. Then, with the help of the queue browser, you can browse your queue as the name suggests.
--{{info}}Note that the new monitoring stack is only available for models that run the new runtime architecture. Should you wish to become an early adopter, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]] to discuss the possibilities{{/info}}
++To do so, we offer two options within this functionality. First, we have the Explore function, and we have the Wiretap function. When selecting a queue and opting for the Explore option, you get a live view of the current data in the queue. Then, when choosing the Wiretap functionality, you automatically wiretap your queue and are presented with copies (on a particular queue) of your actual message that passes through the queue from the moment you press the Wiretap button.
--== **Academy improvements** ==
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-overview.png]]
--On top of that, we have added various microlearnings to our academy offering available on docs.emagiz.com related to the new runtime architecture. You can identify these microlearnings by looking at the following icon in front of a microlearning.
++After selecting the queue and choosing the option, eMagiz will show you the list of messages (oldest first) that are currently on the queue (Explore option), or that passed the queue since the moment you activate the option (Wiretap option). For each message, you have various options at your disposal.
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--gen3-microlearnings-icon.png]]
++* Delete the message from the queue (Explore option)
++  ** This means throwing away live data, which can be helpful in a test or acceptance environment where you inadvertently put many messages on a queue.
++* Clear message from the wiretap queue (Wiretap option)
++  ** Once you are done with the analysis of a specific message in the wiretap functionality, you can clear it from the overview so it does not clutter the view anymore
++* Refresh messages list (both options)
++  ** By pressing this button, you can refresh the list of messages displayed to you. Note that the list is sorted in such a way that the oldest messages are shown first
++* Save as test message
++  ** By pressing this button, you can save the message and use it in our flow testing functionality in Create. Note that we link the message to the corresponding flow if we can. Should we not be able to do so, we link the message to your model so you can still use it in the flow testing functionality.
++* Download
++  ** By pressing this button, you can download the message and use it outside of the tooling should that be needed.
--== **Flow Designer Improvements** ==
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-explore-overview.png]]
--//__See last changed date and changed by on resource level__//
--This release will reinstate the ability to see who changed a resource last and when it was changed for the last time. You can find this information by double-clicking on a resource or viewing its details via the view button.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-wiretap-overview.png]]
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--change-info.png]]
++{{info}}The following restrictions apply to this functionality:
++  * Message payload in excess of 100KB are not shown in the queue browser as they constitute a "large message"
++  * The wiretap 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 wiretap functionality will be shutdown automatically under water.
++    ** To see new messages after the five minutes you will have to access the wiretap functionality again from scratch.{{/info}}
--//__See on which other flows a resource is used__//
--This release will reinstate the ability to see whether a resource is used in other flows within your model or not. This will help to determine the impact of a specific change.
++== **Debugger ** ~*~* ~* ==
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--resource-used-in-other-configs.png]]
++{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime, and the functionality is enabled for your environment.{{/warning}}
--//__Toggle option to see the generated resource by default__//
--Upon request, we have made the toggle for the generated resources in the new flow designer user-dependent. This means that you, as a user, can determine that the toggle should also be on. This means that the generated resources will be shown to you when opening any flow in eMagiz. When you switch the toggle off, this will mean that you will **not** see the generated resources by default.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--message-redelivery-overview.png]]
--== **Feedback items ** ==
++As with our current offering, we now offer our message redelivery functionality for our 3rd generation architecture. To enhance the user experience, we have placed this functionality under the "Explore" option in Manage. When selecting the message redelivery option, you will see all messages that currently need to be redelivered (as an error occurred).
--We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
++As in the current functionality, you can select a specific message and retry (or delete) it. The same can be done for all messages at once. Following that, you can still see the linked error message as you could before.
--//__Redirect to the Manage Dashboard from your model home page__//
--Directly navigating to the Manage phase (of any environment) will automatically redirect you to the error message Dashboard, as that is the landing page of the Manage phase.
++On top of that, we have added some additional functionality.
--//__Readable entry of a SpEL expression in a flow component__//
--As of now, the input field for your SpEL expression in certain flow components will dynamically expand when you enter a large SpEL expression. This will improve the readability of your solution and will make it easier to enter and validate your SpEL expressions.
++* Search option
++  ** Original queue name
++  ** Original message ID (which can be found as a header called jms_messageid in the error message view)
++* Save as test message
++  ** By pressing this button, you can save the message and use it in our flow testing functionality in Create.
++* Download
++  ** By pressing this button, you can download the message and use it outside of the tooling should that be needed.

--//__Keep Create and the Create Phase release in sync__//
--Previously the Create and the Create Phase release might have become out of sync. As a result, comparing a release to the Create Phase release could yield confusing results. With this release, we have made several improvements to prevent this from happening.
++== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
--//__Mask password values in the unused properties overview__//
--All property values of the type password can be masked in the properties overview screen. However, this behavior was different when pressing the unused properties overview. With this release, we have corrected this behavior to ensure that passwords are also masked in this overview.
++This release will introduce various improvements for our 3rd generation runtime. Below you will find the most noteworthy enhancements we made to the 3rd generation runtime and its interaction with the portal.
--//__Press Enter to Search for properties__//
--With this release, we have added functionality that makes it possible to press **Enter** when searching for properties in the property overview.
++//__Define memory settings for on-premise runtimes from Deploy Architecture__//
++With this release, you can now define the memory settings (and, therefore, the memory limits) of your on-premise runtimes in the same manner as cloud runtimes. In all cases, you can now define and change the memory settings via Deploy Architecture. In contrast to how these values are actualized for cloud runtimes, you need to create a new release and deploy it to actualize the changes on-premise.
--//__Styling update on tag selection on integration level__//
--With this release, we have improved the styling of tags displayed on the integration and system level. This way, the tag is better readable, and the icon to remove a selected tag is completely shown to the user instead of partly.
++//__Empty runtime feedback when deploying a release (or setting the release as active)__//
++To prevent you are not being able to deploy a release to your environment due to a mismatch between what is in your release and Deploy Architecture, we have now added a feedback pop-up when deploying a release that notifies you for which runtimes there is a mismatch between your release and Deploy Architecture.
--//__Enter to close automated flow testing pop-up__//
--Upon your requests, we have made the pop-up detailing your automated flow test results to be closable by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. This saves you the hassle of grabbing your mouse and clicking the button.
++//__Auto-fill namespaces for SOAP hosted webservices__//
++Based on your configuration in Design, eMagiz will now auto-fill the namespace when you host a SOAP web service. This avoids any potential problems in validating messages.
--//__Improved naming of downloaded Event Streaming keystore__//
--When downloading a Keystore that an Event Streaming client needs to access a topic, the name now includes the client name **and** the environment so you can easily discern the difference between the keystores when distributing them to your client.
++//__Updated H2 database setting__//
++As of this release, we have improved the configuration of our H2 databases used within eMagiz. This new setting will ensure the runtime controls when the H2 database is shut down.
--//__Pop out on the Traces tab within Flow Testing__//
--In line with the improvements we made before within the Flow Testing functionality, we have now added the pop-out functionality to all results shown in the traces tab. This will make it easier to analyze what happens between the start and the end of your flow.
++{{warning}}If you already migrated your runtime, you should execute a "Reset" action on the infra flow to get these changes in your model{{/warning}}
--//__Sorting User Management__//
--As of this release, the user management overview in Deploy for users and roles will be sorted alphabetically to make it easier to find a specific user or role within this overview.
++//__Runtime settings option added to context menu on runtime level Deploy Architecture__//
++As a replacement for the current HTTP settings context menu, we added a new menu item called runtime settings. On top of being able to configure your HTTP settings (which you need to define for a hosted web service), you now also can define whether the control bus needs to work for this runtime.
--//__Improved warning on passthrough API operation__//
--Most users forget to configure a backend API operation or switch to the transformation option when configuring an API operation in Capture and Design before moving to Create. This is then blocked, leaving users confused about what to do next. Therefore we introduce an additional warning in the Design phase that lets you know that your configuration of an API operation is not yet finished. This way, you can correct it **before** trying to move it to Create.
++//__Deploy Agent option added to context menu on machine level Deploy Architecture__//
++With this release, we have added a context menu item allowing users to deploy the agent needed to run your 3rd generation architecture on-premise. For more information on installing this, please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Expert Level.Solution Architecture.expert-solution-architecture-onpremises-installguide.WebHome||target="blank"]]
--//__Improved update functionality of Swagger file when changing data model__//
--Before, there were specific scenarios in which the Swagger file was not updated according to changes made to your API data model. With this release, we have made a first step in improving this behavior. Then, when you change the order of attributes in your data model, the Swagger file will be updated accordingly.
++//__Performance improvement creating a release__//
++With this release, we have improved the performance of creating a release.
--{{info}}Note that just as with any resource that is changed from the Design phase, a version bump of your flow in Create is still necessary to deploy the changes to your environment(s){{/info}}
++== **Feedback items ** ==
--//__"Disapprove and go to environment"__//
--Following the "Approve and go to environment" functionality, we have now expanded that by adding the "Disapprove and go to environment" functionality.
++We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
--//__Improve readability of API Gateway operations in Create and Deploy__//
--When you have a lengthy name for your API Gateway operation, it becomes tough to discern the various API Gateway operations in your landscape. To alleviate this problem, we have added a tooltip functionality that will show the full display name when hovering over the API Gateway operation.
++//__Sensitive information stored in properties is masked __//
++We have made how we display sensitive information across the portal similar for various parts of the portal.
--//__Add Topic Storage information to License Tracker__//
--On top of the information already shown in the License Tracker, we have added Storage information for the Event Streaming pattern. This way, you can easily see the amount of GB you have assigned and the amount of GB that was contractually agreed upon between you and eMagiz.
++//__Importing "Private" store content to which you do not have access__//
++We have improved the user feedback a user will get when trying to import a "Private" store item unavailable to the user.
--//__Add Compatibility check when importing store items__//
--We have added a compatibility check to the platform to prevent you from importing store items that do not work on a specific runtime architecture to prevent this from happening.
--//__Show dependencies between support objects__//
--As of now, when you click on a support object, all related support objects will also be highlighted in the same overview. This makes it easier to see the relationship between support objects and components and among support objects.
++== **Bug fixes ** ==
--//__Improve rendering of validation definition when using multiple namespaces__//
--With this release, we have improved how we render the validation definition (XSD) when using multiple namespaces. This will prevent you from running into validation errors while everything seems configured correctly on your end.
++//__Fix the possibility that allowed you to break the system message when dealing with the "Order matters" functionality__//
++We have fixed the possibility you had that would break your system message upon validating it in Create when using the "Order matters" functionality.
--//__Improved help texts on next-generation runtime functionality across the portal__//
--With this release, we have improved several help texts on functionality related to the next-generation runtime that help you while migrating to the next-generation runtime.
++//__Synchronization of Event Streaming topic states__//
++We fixed synchronization issues that could occur when several changes were executed on a model that uses a fast amount of topics.
--== **Bug Fixes** ==
++//__Copy and paste default support objects__//
++With this release, you can now copy and paste components without worrying that additional support objects already existing in your target flow are copied over and over into the same flow.
--//__Provide correct feedback when a flow is transferred to Deploy for the first time__//
--With this release, we have made several improvements to what feedback is given to the user when moving a flow from Create to Deploy for the first (upon creating your first definitive version). This will ensure that no confusing pop-ups will be shown that are incorrect and only confuse the user further.
++//__Fix editability of properties when importing store items__//
++With this release, you can once again change property names upon importing a store item.
--//__Show information in the Exception of error messages overview__//
--With this release, we have resolved the bug plaguing this page. As a result, you will again see information on this page when there is information to show.
--
--//__Improve styling of cron trigger configuration pop-up__//
--The styling of this pop-up made it very hard to configure a cron trigger. We have redesigned the styling to make the pop-up readable again.
--
--//__Prevent flow editing locks in specific situations__//
--There were specific situations when switching between Design and Create that could lead to unexpected behavior in the Create phase. This led to a flow editing lock warning to the user. We have solved this problem in this release.
--
--//__Generate property value empties the runtime selection__//
--With this release, we have fixed the bug that emptied the runtime selection upon generating a property value (i.e., password).
--
--//__Make sure nothing of a system message is editable from your exit__//
--Before, you could change part of your system message from your exit (but not everything). This led to confusion. As a result, we have now made sure you cannot edit anything on the system message level from your exit to keep it consistent with our design choices.
--
--//__Prevent users without view rights from seeing a weird screen in those phases__//
--With this release, we have introduced a consistent approach towards what we show a user that has no view rights on a complete phase. This means that you will always see the same information consistently.
--
--//__name of starting point of the flow test is incorrect__//
--With this release, we have ensured that the name of the starting point of your flow test you see in the "Results" tab is correct.
--
--//__Audit Trail on User Management could break__//
--When performing many changes to user management in Deploy at once, there was a chance the audit trail functionality would give an error blocking you from continuing your update. With this release, we have solved that issue.
--
--//__Progress bar in the license tracker is shown twice__//
--With this release, we have fixed a bug that showed the progress bar twice in the license tracker.
--
--//__Compare flows with support objects in the new flow designer__//
--We have fixed a bug related to support objects that prevented you from comparing two flows when one was built in the latest, and the difference was constructed in the old flow designer.
