--**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.
++**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release is characterized mainly by our efforts to bolster our 3rd generation runtime and all its interactions. Furthermore, some minor fixes and beta features will be released to the community.
--== **Start/Stop Flows** ~*~* ==
++== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
--{{warning}}Note that depending on the alert this functionality will only work when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime{{/warning}}
++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.
--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".
++//__Migration of JMS backup configuration improved__//
++With this release, the configuration of the JMS backup configuration is improved to prevent potential connectivity issues after migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@192-release-blog--start-stop-flows-context-menu.png]]
++//__Prechecks on Upgrade option made available for 3rd generation runtime__//
++As with the current runtime architecture, you can now also execute the prechecks before automatically upgrading to the latest cloud template on the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
--
--{{info}}Only in "Start Editing" mode you can actually start and stop specific flows{{/info}}
--
--
--  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.
++//__Autogenerated exits can be deployed at once__//
++This release has fixed a bug that prevented you from deploying an exit flow correctly.
--We offer alerting on five types.
++//__Code mapping functionality available on 3rd generation runtime__//
++As of this release, code mapping functionality is also available for the 3rd generation runtime. This removes the restriction on migrating to the new 3rd generation runtime for our clients that use the code mapping functionality.
--* Error message
--* Log message
--* Queue consumers
--* Messages in queue
--* Queue throughput
++//__Improved the performance when activating a release__//
++With this release, the performance of activating a release has improved considerably. This means less waiting time when activating a release.
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--dynamic-alert-trigger-options.png]]
++//__Failing runtimes won't be restarted indefinitely anymore__//
++We have put a cap on this behavior to prevent your logs from exploding due to a failing runtime being restarted indefinitely. As of this release, five attempts will be made to restart a failing runtime. If the runtime can not start correctly after these attempts, the runtime will be stopped.
--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.
++== **Exportable Release Audit** ~* ==
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--dynamic-alert-trigger-input.png]]
++On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to export an audit document of your (Production) release.
--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@187-release-blog--flow-version-restore.png]]
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--dynamic-alert-trigger-output.png]]
++{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when exporting an audit document:
++  * Changes made on definition and transformation level are **not** restored
++  * You will **not** be able to restore to any flow version that was created before October 17th, 2022
++  * You will **not** be able to restore your flow to the original version created by eMagiz. You can use the reset function if you want this state back
++  * Your restored flow version will **not** be automatically committed to Deploy{{/warning}}
--== **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-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.
++//__Data Sink Refactor__//
++We have made some infrastructural changes to how data sink messages are stored and can be retrieved from the portal. Should there be changes needed on your end, we will contact you separately.
--//__Improved validation feedback on non-supported WSS4J interceptor __//
--We have improved the validation feedback when someone tries to implement a specific WSS4J interceptor implementation.
++//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
++We have improved various display names to ensure that it is clear from the naming that store content can be implemented in all integration patterns.
--//__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.
++//__Press "Enter" to search on multiple pages__//
++In our Daemon Switch release, we added functionality that allowed you to press **Enter** to search on the property overview page. This release has added this functionality to many more pages across the portal. The complete list is as follows.
--//__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.

--
--//__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.
