--**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.
++**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release will release several impactful features and enablers to our community. Among others, the next phase of the eMagiz Store will become publicly available. This means that you can now import data models and transformation on top of system messages in Design and accelerators in Create. Furthermore, we will launch a new Beta functionality through some of our clients, enabling you to restore your flow to a previous version.
--== **State Generation** ==
++== **Store - Next phase** ==
--//__New components__//
--The following components have been added:
--* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
--* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
--* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
--* 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.
--* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
++This release will introduce the next phase of the Store to our whole community. With this new functionality, you can import data model messages (i.e., CDM, API Gateway Data model, or Event Streaming data model) and transformations. Connecting to standardized systems such as Exact Online, Microsoft Graph, Salesforce, and others will become even more accessible.
--//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
--Added SpEL functions for:
--* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac.
--* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond).
--* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser).
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--current-store-offering.png]]
--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`.
++{{info}}For more information on the Store please check out this [[course>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]]. As a reminder, you can find all documentation on all available Store content published by eMagiz [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]].{{/info}}
--Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions.
++== **New eMagiz Mendix Connector** ==
--//__New image version 2.0.0__//
--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.
++This release introduces a new version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector. This version (6.0.0) will work with the current runtime architecture and the new runtime architecture making the migration from the existing runtime architecture to the new runtime architecture easier. The latest version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector can be found in the Mendix Marketplace and the eMagiz portal.
--//__Component pages__//
--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.
++{{info}}Migrating the runtime from the eMagiz portal works the same as for any other runtime. The migration path can be found [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Support.Migration Paths.migration-path-emagiz-runtime-generation-3.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
--== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
--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.
++== **Flow version restore** ~* ==
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-207-aligned-state-metrics-storage.png]]
++On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to restore your flow to a previous version. This way, you can quickly undo changes made that were incorrect.
--== **Feedback Items** ==
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--flow-version-restore.png]]
--//__Import from store__//
--The button 'Import from Store' in Design will directly open the store instead of showing a pop asking whether the store should be opened.
++{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when restoring to a previous version:
++  * 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}}
--//__Save and cancel buttons placement__//
--The save and cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
++== **Feedback items ** ==
--//__User session times__//
--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.
++We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
--//__Cancel and next buttons order//
--The order of the cancel and next buttons when creating a new trigger has been changed to increase alignment across the platform. Now, all cancel buttons are placed on the right of a 'next' or 'save' button.
++//__Improved help texts Kafka component__//
++The help texts on various configuration options and the general help text on multiple Kafka components have been updated to clarify how they work and how you ought to configure them to achieve the best possible result when sending and receiving messages to and from topics within eMagiz.
--//__Data sink page__//
--The data sink page has been moved to the “Explore” tab.
++//__Improved warning message when Message redelivery cannot be adequately executed__//
++We have improved the warning you get when you cannot retrieve the messages waiting to be redelivered. This helps clarify what is going wrong when a user sees this warning.
--//__Unused images removal__//
--When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
++//__See Flow Designer errors on the Create overview__//
++To improve our offering surrounding the new Flow Designer functionality, we now show on the Create overview which of the flows you still have alerts due to a misconfiguration of the flow. This will help to identify ongoing work much more manageable.
--//__Flow Designer performance__//
--Performance improvements for the Flow Designer have been implemented.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--alert-visualized-in-create-overview.png]]
--//__Properties with special characters__//
--When a user would migrate to gen3 and deploy their release containing properties with special characters, certain flows could not find the correct values to properties anymore or could not find the properties altogether. With this release, special characters such as a backslash do not break properties after deployment.
++{{info}}Note that you need to open flows that are currently triggering alerts to show the alert on the Create overview{{/info}}
--//__Hidden flow fragements__//
--When importing items from the store, flow fragments that are hidden in design will be listed under the versions in create.
--
--//__Resources disappearances__//
--Resources would disappear in the flow designer when pressing Cancel on selecting a new resource. With this release, resources without a name will not trigger error messages when users select components.
--
--//__Error channel for all inbounds__//
--If there is no custom error handling, Gen3 migration would set the error channel to “errorChannel” only for the first inbound in an entry flow.
--We added a migration step, such that the error channel is set to “errorChannel” of all inbounds in a flow if the custom error handling is set to false.
--
--//__Highlighting resources__//
--The performance of highlighting resources of selected components is improved in Read only mode.
--
  == **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.
++//__Update Swagger File when changing the order of entities in gateway message__//
++In our previous release, we improved how the Swagger file is generated when changing the order of attributes of your gateway message. To make this functionality work for entities, we have made several additional changes to the platform supporting this.
--//__System alignment__//
--The positioning of Systems across Design, Create and Deploy phases are now synchronized to the position of their respective System in the Capture phase. So, systems are aligned regarding positioning across all phases.
--
--//__Error checking__//
--Besides checking error header, the error trigger is now configured to check if an error message contains a term.
--
--//__Alerting__//
--For gen3 models, you will no longer receive alert messages for every error message, every log message of 'level' ERROR, and for memory usage above 80%.
--For gen3 models with event streaming, the threshold to receive the 'Topic approaching maximum size' alert has been increased from 95% of configured size used to 110%.
--The gen3 configurable trigger for error messages has been extended with the option to check whether the 'last-exception' message contained a certain text. This can be combined with the header-value match.
--
--//__Unused containers__//
--Containers are set inactive when they are unused and removed in Design.
--
--//__Error popups when promoting a release version__//
--We fixed an issue that a lot of error popups were shown when you promoted a release version to a next environment.
--
--//__Memory leak__//
--A memory leak when using gen 3 metrics has been fixed.
