209 - Max Verstappen
Hi there, eMagiz developers! We have improved the performance of our deployment plan, it should be finished much quicker now. Next to this, we have released new Docker Single Lane and Docker Double Lane cloud templates. Moreover, several feedback items have been processed and some bug fixes have been made. Lastly, as of this release, the next generation architecture will be our default.
Quicker Deployment Plan Execution
We sped up the process of preparing runtime images in executing the deployment plan. The step in the deployment plan concerning the preparation of runtime images will now be executed more quickly and reliably. Moreover, we fixed an issue of the release preparation step taking longer than necessary which is caused by the machine deployment steps to be executed when they could have been skipped. So, the deployment plan will be finished much quicker now!
Next Generation Architecture Default
With this release, the next generation architecture will become the default. From now on, new models will then use this generation as the default architecture.
Cloud Template R11 Docker - Single Lane
This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup on the next generation architecture. This cloud template introduces faster machine boot up and improved auto-healing. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found here.
Cloud Template R13 Docker - Double Lane
This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a double-lane setup on the next generation architecture. This cloud template introduces faster machine boot up and improved auto-healing. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found here.
Feedback Items
Unused properties overview
In Deploy > Releases, it is now possible to see all unused properties of an environment. This can be viewed by clicking the three dots in the Create phase section. Here it is also possible to quickly delete all or a selection of those unused properties. Unused properties are properties that are:
- Not used by any runtime that is in the Create phase release.
- Not required by a flow that is in the Create phase release.
- If used as nested property, none of its parent properties (checks recursively) are in the Create phase release.
Queue explorer milliseconds
The queue browser now displays milliseconds in the timestamps.
Static alerts queue consumers
Alerting will now only generate alerts for queues that are created and managed by the eMagiz JMS server.
Bug Fixes
Flow Designer connection line
In the Flow Designer an issue has been fixed, where, previously, the connection line for drawing channels did not work well after the user scrolls or zooms in/out on the canvas.
Portal for migrated models
We fixed a rare case where a runtime either (1) could not start, or (2) logging, errors, and metrics could not be seen in the portal for a model that had just migrated to the next generation architecture.
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:
