5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** It has been a while since our last deployment on the 9th of December. As a result we have finished up a lot of new improvements to our 3rd generation runtime offering and fixed a variety of annoying bugs as well as some small improvements. This release is characterized by the major steps we took to release several major features on our 3rd generation runtime among which are the queue browser and message redelivery functionality.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we have invested our effort to improve the performance and experience of our platform in the Deploy phase. Next to that, we did several bug fixes, not only for the Deploy phase, but also for the Store. Lastly, we made some changes to the alerts that you may be receiving.
6 6  
7 -== **Queue Browser** ==
8 +== **Alerts** ==
8 8  
9 -{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime{{/warning}}
10 +//__Topic approaching max size alert__//
11 +The alert ‘topic approaching maximum size’ has been temporarily disabled due to a high number of false positives.
10 10  
11 -To enhance the observability of your integration landscape while running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture we have added a new feature to our Manage phase called the "Queue browser". You can access this functionality via the "Explore" menu option in Manage. With the help of the queue browser you can, as the name suggests, browse your queue.
13 +//__Missing metrics alert__//
14 +We solved an issue where the ‘missing metrics’ alert did not always contain the full container name.
12 12  
13 -To do so, we offer two options within this functionality. We have the Explore function and we have the Wiretap function. When selecting a queue and opting for the Explore option you get a live view of what data is currently present on the queue. When selecting the Wiretap functionality you automatically wiretap your queue and are presented with copies of your actual message that pass through the queue from the moment you pressed the Wiretap button.
16 +== **Feedback Items** ==
14 14  
15 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-overview.png]]
18 +//__Improved release build process__//
19 +When a new release will be activated, no longer all containers will be rebuild but only affected containers will be rebuild. This should decrease the time for a release to be ready to be deployed.
16 16  
17 -After selecting the queue and choosing the option eMagiz will show you the list of messages (oldest first) that are currently on the queue (Explore option) or that passed the queue since the moment you activate the option (Wiretap option). For each message you have various options at your disposal.
21 +//__Container version overview__//
22 +Due to the improved build process for containers, the release versions and container versions will not longer be the same anymore. Therefore we introduce a way where you can look up to see which container versions are linked to a specific release. This can help you to identify if your containers that are running have the right version according to the release.
18 18  
19 -* Delete the message from the queue (Explore option)
20 - ** This means throwing away live data which can be helpful in a test or acceptance environment where you inadvertedly put a lot of messages on a queue.
21 -* Clear message from the wiretap queue (Wiretap option)
22 - ** Once you are done with the analysis of a certain message in the wiretap functionality you can clear it from the overview so it does not clutter the view anymore
23 -* Refresh messages list (both options)
24 - ** By pressing this button you can refresh the list of messages that are displayed to you. Note that the list is sorted in such a way that the oldest messages are shown first
25 -* Save as test message
26 - ** By pressing this button you can save the message and use it in our flow testing functionality in Create. Note that we link the message to the corresponding flow if we can. Should we not be able to do so we link the message to your model so you can still use it in the flow testing functionality.
27 -* Download
28 - ** By pressing this button you can download the message and use it outside of the tooling should that be needed.

26 +//__Improved deployment process__//
27 +The improved release build process, as mentioned above, brings another major improvement to the platform. Because container versions will not be updated regularly we can identify during a deployment which container should get a new container version. Only the ones that should get a new version will be deployed and restarted, all other containers will not go down and keep running. This decreases the deployment time and improves the performance.
31 31  
32 -== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
29 +//__Rebuilding of images__//
30 +Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.
33 33  
34 -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.
32 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
35 35  
36 -//__SOAP and REST web services migration, including splitting them__//
37 -With this release, we have released the migration process that will allow you to migrate SOAP and REST web services to the 3rd generation runtime. At the same time, you can directly split the all-entry to eliminate that construction. A specific migration path for this will be published in the documentation portal.
34 +//__Runtime metrics processing__//
35 +The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
38 38  
39 -//__Changing SSL settings for 3rd generation runtime models works__//
40 -As with the current runtime architecture, you can change the SSL settings if needed for a model running in the 3rd generation runtime.
37 +//__Deployment plan__//
38 +We solved a bug where a deployment step in the execution of the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.
41 41  
42 -//__Improved migration for JMS flows__//
43 -This release will improve the migration of JMS flows when migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
40 +//__View all store items__//
41 +An issue has been fixed where it was not possible to load more store items in the left panel in the Create phase Flow Designer.
44 44  
45 -{{warning}}If you already migrated your JMS flow, you should execute a "Reset" action on the JMS level to get these changes in your model{{/warning}}
43 +//__Out of memory behavior__//
44 +We improved the out of memory behavior of runtimes. Runtimes will now always restart when an out of memory error occurs.
46 46  
47 -//__Removed the ability to add "Debug components" to a flow running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
48 -As of this release, you can no longer add debug components on a flow already migrated to the 3rd generation runtime. This functionality will not work in the 3rd generation runtime and would break your flow.
46 +//__Max fetch size__//
47 +In the Flow Designer, we improved the help text of the advanced option of ‘max fetch size’ for the Mail Inbound Adapter component to better describe how that option affects the component's behavior.
49 49  
50 -//__Deployment plan is updated correctly when completly migrated to the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
51 -We have fixed a bug that generated an incorrect default deployment plan once you were fully migrated to the 3rd generation runtime.
52 -
53 -//__Correct property generation for Event Streaming flows using the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
54 -With this release, the properties generated for Event Streaming flows running in the 3rd generation runtime are configured correctly to mimic the ones in the image.
55 -
56 -//__Added "Reset" functionality__//
57 -With this release, a new functionality has been added for 3rd generation runtimes that allows you to combine several steps into one action, called "Reset runtime." The effect of this action is the same as it currently is in the legacy runtime.
58 -
59 -== **Feedback items ** ==
60 -
61 -We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
62 -
63 -//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
64 -We have improved various display names using the merge functionality within our store offering.
65 -
66 -//__Update security protocols for our internal architecture__//
67 -Parts of our internal infrastructure (i.e., docs.emagiz.com) have been updated to adhere to the latest security standards.
68 -
69 -//__Improved read-only description for "if exists" constructions in Transformations__//
70 -To make it clear what the "if exists" check does while not being in "Start Editing" mode, we have improved the description so users without edit rights or without wanting to enter the "Start Editing" mode can read and interpret what the check does.
71 -
72 -
73 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
74 -
75 -//__Decent validation feedback when not filling in the property value__//
76 -We have fixed the validation feedback you get when not filling in the property value using the "Check properties" functionality.
77 -
78 -//__Incorrect resource locations__//
79 -We have fixed several instances where the resource location was not generated correctly in the 3rd generation runtime.
80 -
81 -//__Apply to environment in User Management performance improvement__//
82 -We have improved the performance of updating User Management on your environment. This way, the update functionality is more stable and faster.
