216 - Hack Heaven

(((

[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-intro.png]]

**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** As part of our alignment week we also had a hackathon event focusing on a wide array of reported feedback on the portal. The majority of the release blog will be focused on this. On top of that we launch new functionality that makes it easier to transform to JSON, to select infra flows in a release, and makes it possible to deploy multiple agents to a single machine that adheres to specific conditions. Furthermore, several announcements will be made via this release blog (and other channels) to better prepare your model for upcoming major changes.

This release will include a major update of our release functionality through which you can configure your release. As of now eMagiz will provide you with the option to visually see changes on infra flow level.

When you are in edit mode you can select a new version via the right-click option as you were used to for other flows.

On top of that we have added an title to each context menu that specifies the flow type (i.e. exit connector, container infra, connector infra) for additional clarity while constructing your release.

When configuring your Deploy Agent you now have an additional option that can be activated by the user. With the help of this checkbox you unlock the possibility of stabily running multiple deploy agents on one machine.

44

== **Feedback Items** ==

45

//__Easier component selection in flow designer__//

46

The area selector through which you can select one or more components has improved to allow for an easier selection of said components when they are displayed closed to the edge of the canvas. By expanding the area you can select the selection of these components will become much easier.

47

48

//__Improved handling of optionality in JSON on lists__//

49

Previously, eMagiz would always create a JSON array if your data model expected a list. This would lead to unexpected and undesirable behavior of the message as empty arrays are not always accepted by external parties. With this release we have changed the way in which we generate the JSON output should there be an empty list in the output. Consequently the empty list will **not** be part of the output anymore as desired.

50

51

//__Loading bar when searching for log entries__//

52

To indicate to the user that eMagiz is still busy retrieving log entries we have now added a loading bar to the log entry overview upon pressing search.

53

54

//__Improved feedback when deleting elements from Capture__//

55

To better specify to the user which integration or system the user intends to delete we have improved the text in the confirmation pop-up. This way we can provide more information to the user to avoid mistakes.

56

57

//__Enhanced filter options in Manage__//

58

With this release we have added filter options on both the Alerting tab and the Trigger configuration pop-up. This results in being able to filter on Status (Alerting) and Queues, Topics, Recipients, and more (Trigger configuration pop-up) in these places.

59

60

//__Copy property names from Create__//

61

This release unlocks the possibility to easily copy the name of a property placeholder so it can be used whilst deploying.

== **Bug Fixes** ==

//__Queue name validation__//

66

The validation regarding undesired spaces for components that use a queue name has been improved. Specifically, users are now prevented from creating a queue name with a space in the queue name when editing this in the Create phase in the Flow Designer.

67

68

69

70

//__Removal of onramp__//

71

An issue has been fixed where removing an onramp that was previously linked to a combined entry was impossible in the Create phase.

72

73

//__eMagiz login__//

74

In the login screen, users can now press "enter" to log in when the username field is selected. Previously, this was only the case for the password field.

== **Fancy Forum Answers** ==

77

78

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:
