release-blog-intro.png

Hi there, eMagiz developers! This release, we have a new version of our eMagiz Mendix connector available, that will support Mendix version 10 and higher. Furthermore, we have improved our functionality to enable users to seamlessly import OpenAPI specifications with URL paths of up to 300 characters in length. Lastly, we have done many bug fixes, one of which will ensure that SFTP sessions will be closed again after completion. For this fix, a new runtime image has been published.

Feedback Items

eMagiz Mendix connector
We released a new version of our eMagiz Mendix connector that will support Mendix version 10 and higher.

External machine agents
We have added functionality that allows the user to (auto-) update their external (on-premise) machine agents on the current generation architecture from the portal. With future releases of environment templates, your on-premise agents may also be updated.

Improved OpenAPI import
The path length that eMagiz supports when importing OpenAPI specifications is now increased to a maximum of 300 characters.

Flow test stack trace
If a flow test creates a log line with level ‘Warning’ or ‘Error’ and there is a stack trace created, then we show the stack trace inside the log message on a separate tab.

Information

With the release of Spring 6 in our previous release, some users reported that their filters have begun logging warnings about discarding messages even though the filter is configured to not throw an exception on rejection. For flows that process high numbers of messages (and potentially discard a lot of messages as well) this can significantly disturb the overview of the logs in the manage phase.

To mitigate this, you can change the filter that throws the warning so it specifically refers to a discard channel. Given the chosen configuration, we advice to use the nullChannel option. This will silently drop the message without registering a warning in the log. In case you find the warning in the log a nice addition, we suggest to add an explicit discard channel leading to a logging outbound channel adapter. This log component can then be configured to throw a warning.

In the next release, we will aid you by adding a validation check that will force you to select a discard channel when it is currently not selected once you edit the flow to create a new version. More on this in the next release blog. 

Bug Fixes

Error handling
When migrating to the current generation architecture, the default error handling will now also be migrated correctly, so that no manual changes have to be done for this.

Volume mapping passwords
Passwords for network volumes are now securely hidden in the runtime’s machine after deploying a new release.

Create integration removal
When removing an integration from Create, the Create phase is now correctly updated.

Legacy statistics
Legacy pages are now correctly hidden when running on the current runtime architecture.

Unused properties
Users should not be able to edit or delete eMagiz properties, and so these eMagiz properties will now not be shown in the 'Unused property overview' anymore.

Enumeration values
Users are now able to add and edit enumeration values while editing event processor flows in the Create phase.

SFTP sessions
SFTP session factories did not close their connection after it was complete. This could cause connection starvation on the SFTP server, and was especially noticable when using the SFTP Session Factory without caching, as that factory opens a new connection for every call. For this, a new runtime image has been released.

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:
