213 - Joyful Journeys

Hi there, eMagiz developers! In this release, several improvements for pop-ups have been made so that more user friendly messages are shown that reflect actual behaviour. Moreover, formatting and alignment improvements have been made to improve the user journey. Lastly, we have worked on some more feedback items and several more bug fixes have been done.

Pop-up Improvements

Property releases
When a new property release is created, this property release can now not only be viewed but also release properties can be deleted.

Runtime deletion
When deleting a runtime, the error message is more descriptive. The error message will now include the names of the flows that run on the container.

Wiretap & debug error messages
The error messages that may be displayed when using wiretaps and the debugger have been improved, these are now more user friendly.

Action messages
The formatting of action messages regarding changes in retention bytes/hours has been improved. The action message will now display the correct, actual behaviour.

Formatting & Alignments

Input fields
Multiple input fields have been updated such that they expand when the amount of characters exceeds the default size. These updates were done to cater to large expressions.

UI improvements
UI improvements for static input components have been done and the tooltip for optional/required toggles has been improved.

Component changes reversion
In the flow designer a bug could occur where the changes to a component would be reverted if the editing pop-up would be kept open for some minutes without having saved the changes yet. This has been fixed.

State generation statistics
The state generation graphs will now show the correct number of cache hits and misses.

Queue browser timestamps
All timestamp formatting in the queue browser is now aligned to yyyy-MM-dd  HH:mm:ss.SSS.

Addition and deletion of internal recipients
Internal recipients are now added and deleted correctly. Before, an internal recipient could be added and thereafter deleted automatically when refreshing the page.

Feedback Items

Update flows
In Create > Resources, a button "Update flows" has been added to update versions of all flows in which a resource is used. This is particularly useful when changing a resouce used across multiple flows such as topic message definitions in event processors.

Q&A forum search
The option to search by pressing the Enter key has been added to the Q&A forum.

Memory settings
It is now possible to change the memory settings of a newly added container before pressing "Apply to environment".

Runtime validation
Validation for runtimes that are moved from on premises to the cloud or vice versa has been improved.

Runtime overview image versions
Insight into intended and actual deployments has been improved. If the release version number on runtimes is different compared with the release, this is shown in the runtime overview.

Bug Fixes

Removal of onramp
We fixed an issue where it was not possible to remove the last onramp linked to a splitted entry (that was an all-entry before).

Runtime statistics details
We fixed an issue where heap memory usage data was accumulating when zooming out in the runtime statistics details dashboards.

Deployment prechecks
During deployments, prechecks can be executed on runtimes level for runtimes that still have to be deployed. These prechecks can be executed via Deploy > 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:

• Changing filename based on attribute
• Payload must be an instance of a Map
• Promoting a system to a split gateway
