--**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. 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 ....
--{{warning}}State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license.{{/warning}}
--== **State Generation~*~*** ==
--
--//__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.
--
--//__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).
--
--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`.
--
--Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions. With this functionality, you can access your JSON payloads in a similar way as you would access XML payloads using [[xPath>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Advanced Level.Create your transformations.advanced-create-your-transformations-xpath-advanced||target="blank"]].
--
--{{info}}The components are all configurable from the Flow Designer in Create and are accompanied by a help text explaining the use cases and the various technical configurations. Note that to make the components work in your model, a new release containing the latest image (2.0.0) needs to be deployed.{{/info}}
--
--{{warning}}The library used for Code Mappings has been changed. Any customer with next generation architecture runtimes and code mappings is required to reset their infra flows prior to deploying on image 2.0.0. This has no consequences on a functional level. {{/warning}}
--
--== **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 7, 14 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.

  == **Feedback Items** ==
--//__Import from store__//
--The button 'Import from Store' in Design will directly open the store instead of showing a pop up asking whether the store should be opened.
++//__Property releases__//
++When a new property release is created, this property release can now be viewed and deleted.
--//__Save and cancel buttons placement__//
--The save and cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-213-joyful-journeys-property-release.png]]
--//__User session times__//
--The user session times for next generation architecture 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.
++//__Runtime deletion__//
++When deleting a runtime, the error message that is displayed is more descriptive. The error messages will now include the names of the flows that run on the container.
--//__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.
++//__Update flows__//
++In Create > Resources, a button "Update flows" has been added to update versions of all flows in which a resource is used.
--//__Data sink page__//
--The data sink page has been moved to the “Explore” tab.
++//__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.
--//__Unused images removal__//
--When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
++//__Memory settings__//
++It is now possible to change the memory settings of a container before pressing "Apply to environment". Before, it was only possible to view the memory settings if a container was running on AWS or running on a docker machine.
--//__Flow Designer performance__//
--Performance improvements for the Flow Designer have been implemented.
++//__Runtime validation__//
++Validation for runtimes that are moved from on premises to the cloud or vice versa has been improved.
--//__Properties with special characters__//
--When a user would migrate to the next generation architecture 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.
++//__UI improvements__//
++UI improvements for static input components have been done and the tooltip for optional/required toggles has been improved.
--//__Hidden flow fragements__//
--When importing items from the store, flow fragments that are hidden in design will be listed under the versions in create.
++//__Q&A forum search__//
++The option to search by pressing the Enter key has been added to the Q&A forum.
--//__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.
++//__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.
--//__Error channel for all inbounds__//
--If there is no custom error handling, next generation 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.
++//__Runtime overview image versions__//
++Insight into invented 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.
--//__Highlighting resources__//
--The performance of highlighting resources of selected components is improved in Read only mode.
--
  == **Bug Fixes** ==
++//__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.
--//__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.
++//__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).
--//__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. This will be done for existing systems as well.
++//__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.
--//__Error alerting__//
--The error trigger is now configured to check if an error message contains a certain term, besides checking the error header.
++//__State generation statistics__//
++The state generation graphs will now show the correct number of cache hits and misses.
--//__Alerting__//
--For the next generation architecture models, several adaptations to triggers have been made.
--* For the next generation architecture 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 the next generation architecture 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 next generation architecture 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.
++//__Runtime statistics details__//
++We fixed an issue where heap memory usage data was accumulating when zooming out in the runtime statistics details dashboards.
--//__Unused containers__//
--Containers are set inactive when they are unused and removed in Design.
++//__Queue browser timestamps__//
++All timestamp formatting in the queue browser is now aligned to yyyy-MM-dd  HH:mm:ss.SSS.
--//__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.
++//__Deployment prechecks__//
++During deployments prechecks will be done on runtimes that still have to be deployed from deploy architecture.
--{{warning}}There is a new eMagiz Mendix connector available because a memory leak was found, only affecting Mendix connectors that have been migrated to the next generation architecture. It is advised to upgrade to the new eMagiz Mendix connector before fully migrating to the next generation architecture. {{/warning}}
++//__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.
  == **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:
