208 - Controlled State
Hi there, eMagiz developers! We have done much work to improve the functionality of our state generation solution so that you can have a better overview of its implementation in your environment. This overview covers a visibility towards the statistics for Retrieve Latency, Cache Size, Successful and Failed Retrieves. Next to the monitoring for the state generation implementation in your model, several feedback items revolving around user interfacing components in our platform that can improve the user experience are also released. Lastly, some performance improvements and bug fixes have also been implemented.
State Generation**
New Page
The following page has been added:
- State generation statistics: Contains the statistics for state generation implementation in your model. This page can be found under Manage->Monitoring, right under the Topic statistics navigation menu. This page provides you with graphs that explains the Retrieve Latency, Cache Size, Successful and Failed Retrieves, which are coming from flows using state generation components. Note that this menu will only show for models that has the add-on license for state generation.
Feedback Items
Improved Information on Removing a Release Version
Users are now informed with a more comprehensive information of why removing a release version that is still active on all environments (i.e., Test, Acceptance, and Production) is failed. Users are now informed in which environment(s) that runs in which runtime(s) that the release version under deletion is still running.
Wider and Expandable Fields for XPath Expressions
Input fields for XPath expressions located in the Create phase are now made wider and also capable of expanding when the expression registered by the user is too long.
Old Images Cleanup Mechanism
We implemented a functionality that removes related unused images upon removal of a release version for on-premises machines. This prevents eMagiz to take resources of the customer’s machine due to the unattended old images.
Consistent Toggle Switches
We are now implementing eMagiz Design System module in our platform and, in this release, we have updated all instances of the toggle switch to have a more consistent performance and look & feel throughout the platform.
Search Phrase
We are now enabling users to search for log entries and error messages based on phrases containing two or more words, instead of only one word or the full sentence. This also means that user can search for entries with distances of 2 or incomplete search phrase (e.g., “startin engine” to look for “starting servlet engine”).
Improved Image Building Performance
We have implemented an improvement on the preparing step of the release at the begining of the deployment, which leads to a faster deployment process.
Default "errorChannel" on Gen3 Migration
There are cases where flows uring Gen3 Migration of a model.
Bug Fixes
Topic and event-processor names
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.

Fancy Forum Answers
As always, this is a gentle reminder to ask questions via the Q&A forum. The Q&A forum is available in the eMagiz iPaaS portal, so we can all benefit from the knowledge within the community. For some inspiration, take a look at these forum answers:
- Message Redelivery blank error message
- Timeout error kafka batch creation
- SFTP Connectivity: Transfering a whole folder structure
- Next generation architecture with dynamic file pickup / filedrop
