5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have done much work for state generation, so that you can derive more information from your data! Examples are enrichment, aggregation, change detection and duplicate detection. State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license. Next to state generation, several improvements regarding the alignment of components have been made. Moreover, performance improvements and bug fixes have been implemented. Lastly, a change in the metrics storage duration has been performed.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvements points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. Among others we have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation. Improved when certain logging is triggerd and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that we fixed several bug fixes surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado let us take a look at all these improvements.

7 -== **State Generation** ==
7 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
8 8  
9 -//__New components__//
10 -The following components have been added:
11 -* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
12 -* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
13 -* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
14 -* Duplicate detector: support object used to detect duplicate messages for a certain key on an inbound channel of a flow component. Duplicates can be marked or discarded.
15 -* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
9 +//__Better feedback in error log when a corrupt stylesheet is encountered__//
10 +We have improved the logging within a 3rd generation runtime that identifies the broken resource by name within a container and informs you to navigate to Create -> Resources to see in which flows the resource is used so you can take the appropriate action.
16 16  
17 -//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
18 -Added SpEL functions for:
19 -* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac.
20 -* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond).
21 -* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser).
12 +//__Better internal error handling to avoid unnecessary alerting and notifications__//
13 +We have improved the internal error handling when sending metrics from the runtime to our monitoring stack. This will gravely reduce the number of alerts you will receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
22 22  
23 -Added support for SpEL property accessors for XML and JSON, meaning that you can read message payloads in SpEL expressions easily. For example, to retrieve the value for 'id' in the following JSON String: `{"id":"123"}`, this SpEL expression suffices: `payload.id`.
15 +//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
16 +This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrated your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
24 24  
25 -Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions.
18 +//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
19 +When a slot is put into standby mode we now also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models that have this functionality activated. The opposite happens when the slot wakeup is triggered. As a result not only the cloud runtimes are started but also all on-premise runtimes.
26 26  
27 -//__New image version 2.0.0__//
28 -The above functionalities are features of the new image version 2.0.0. Important to note is that the library used for Code Mappings has been changed. Changed the library used for Code Mappings. Any customer with Gen3 runtimes and code mappings is required to reset their infra flows prior to deploying on image 2.0.0.
21 +//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
22 +With this release we have improved the process through which your deploy action is preparated by eMagiz. As a result the chances of unexpected behavior occuring in your model are drastically reduced.
29 29  
30 -//__Component pages__//
31 -Pages to add the new components have been created. Forms have been created nicely with proper help texts. The EHCache cache manager has been removed.
24 +//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
25 +When migrating your streaming container we now take into account whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination specific additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without any manual intervention.
32 32  
33 -== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
34 -Manage - Monitoring: We will change the retention of monitoring data of different environments. For minute level data, it will be kept for test, acceptance and production environments for 5, 7 and 30 days respectively. Then the minute level data will be reduced to hour level data then will be stored for test, acceptance and production for 3, 6 and 12 months respectively.
27 +//__Add History to Notifications in Manage__//
28 +To improve the auditability of our platform we have introduced an audit trail to the Notification section in Manage for models running on our 3rd generation monitoring stack. This way it is always visible when the notifications were paused and who paused or unpaused the notifications.
35 35  
36 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-207-aligned-state-metrics-storage.png]]
30 +//__Improved Manage phase for Event Streaming__//
31 +Based on the feedback on our first iteration of the Manage phase for Event Streaming we have improved the graphs and the calculations that fill the graphs with values. On top of that we have added helptexts to clarify what each graph our table displays to you.
37 37  
38 -== **Feedback Items** ==
33 +//__Improved help text for network volumes__//
34 +With this release we have improved the help text that explains network volumes and how to use them within our solution.
39 39  
40 -//__Import from store__//
41 -Design - Message Mapping: The button 'Import from Store' will directly open the store instead of showing a pop asking whether the store should be opened.
36 +{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesistate to contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:productmanagement@emagiz.com]] or read our [[documentation>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}
42 42  
43 -//__Save and cancel buttons__//
44 -The Save and Cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
38 +== **Feedback items ** ==
45 45  
46 -//__User session times__//
47 -Manage - Monitoring: The user session times for 3rd generation runtime dashboards have been extended, so that the user is not thrown out of the model when using the Manage phase for longer than an hour.
40 +//__Removed OData as option for an API Gateway operation__//
41 +With this release, we have removed the OData operation option as it was not used and was not fully supported anymore by the platform.
48 48  
49 -
43 +//__Changes in API Gateway operation paths is automatically updated in Create__//
44 +When you change your path on a hosted API Gateway we will now automatically update the accompanying component in your Create (all-)entry.
50 50  
51 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
46 +{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
52 52  
48 +== **Bug fixes ** ==
53 53  
50 +//__Prevent endless loop in Deploy -> User Management__//
51 +With this release, we have changed the way we update properties when user management is updated for an API gateway using the API Key security mechanisms. This will prevent the endless loop that could now happen on occasion.
54 54  
53 +{{warning}}Any operation that is incorrectly deleted from Deploy while still end up in the logic and could cause issue so pay attention when removing API Gateway operations.{{/warning}}
54 +
55 +//__Update error handling during migration to the 3rd generation runtime__//
56 +As of now the error handling of all flows is correctly updated whilst migrating to the 3rd generation runtime configuration.
