Hi there, eMagiz developers! In this release, we will do a large maintenance update, moving the eMagiz current runtime stack from Spring 5 to Spring 6 and from Java 8 to Java 17. Please refer to our new runtime image and Spring 6 migration path for more information. Next to this, we have improved event streaming logging, so that logs are not cluttered with irrelevant info anymore. Lastly, we have removed the deprecated cloud option 'Root' from the portal.

Spring 6 Migration

As announced in our previous release blogs, we will release a major version of our current runtime base image for all our clients running on the current runtime architecture in this release.

Configurations that contain any one of the listed components below are automatically migrated to Spring 6:

  • JDBC BoneCP data source
  • SSL web service message sender
  • Web service outbound gateway
  • SFTP session factory
  • HTTP components message sender
  • Job manager
  • Credentials
  • Simple job launcher
  • Default SFTP session factory

In our continued efforts to make the transition to Spring 6 as smooth as possible we have written down the advised process for identifying and updating the relevant flows as a consequence of the Spring 6 migration, which you can find here. 

This large maintenance update, moving the eMagiz runtime stack from Spring 5 to Spring 6 and from Java 8 to Java 17, includes moving to latest (major) versions of open source projects, libraries and technologies. For this, a new runtime image will be released. Although no new functionality is added in this new image version, several Spring libraries have been changed significantly. More information can be found here. 

Please be aware that we will create autosaved versions for affected flows still running on the legacy runtime architecture. This way, we ensure consistency in what the user sees when working with flow components in the Create phase while at the same time prepare your model for a future migration to the current runtime architecture. Should you need to make a functional change in one of these affected flows, you can do so without a deployment and without using Spring 6 in your legacy runtime. 

Feedback Items

Event streaming logging
Event streaming processors will produce significantly less logging, so the logs are not cluttered with irrelevant info logs.

Root Cloud
Options and screens related to the deprecated cloud option 'Root' have been removed from the portal.

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:
