6 -**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>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.V304.WebHome||target="blank"]] has been published.
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.

8 -== **Feedback Items** ==
7 +== **Queue Browser** ==
9 9  
10 -//__eMagiz Mendix connector__//
11 -We released a new version of our eMagiz Mendix connector that will support Mendix version 10 and higher.
9 +{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime{{/warning}}
12 12  
13 -//__External machine agents__//
14 -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.
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.
15 15  
16 -//__Improved OpenAPI import__//
17 -The path length that eMagiz supports when importing OpenAPI specifications is now increased to a maximum of 300 characters.
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 (on a special queue) of your actual message that pass through the queue from the moment you pressed the Wiretap button.
18 18  
19 -//__Flow test stack trace__//
20 -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.
15 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-overview.png]]
21 21  
22 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-219-creation-carousel-stack-trace.png]]
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.
23 23  
24 -{{info}}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.
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.
25 25  
26 -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.
30 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-explore-overview.png]]
27 27  
28 -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. {{/info}}

30 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
31 -//__Error handling__//
32 -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.
34 +== **Message Redelivery ** ==
33 33  
34 -//__Volume mapping passwords__//
35 -Passwords for network volumes are now securely hidden in the runtime’s machine after deploying a new release.
36 +{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime and the functionality is enabled for you environment.{{/warning}}
36 36  
37 -//__Create integration removal__//
38 -When removing an integration from Create, the Create phase is now correctly updated.
38 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--message-redelivery-overview.png]]
39 39  
40 -//__Legacy statistics__//
41 -Legacy pages are now correctly hidden when running on the current runtime architecture.
40 +Just as with our current offering we now offer our message redelivery functionality for our 3rd generation architecture. To enhance the user experience we have placed this functionality as well under the "Explore" option in Manage. When selecting the message redelivery option you will see all messages that are currently in need to be redelivered (as an error occurred).
42 42  
43 -//__Unused properties__//
44 -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.
42 +Just as in the current functionality you can select a specific message and retry (or delete) it. The same can be done for all messages at once. Following that you can still see the linked error message as you could before.
45 45  
46 -//__Enumeration values__//
47 -Users are now able to add and edit enumeration values while editing event processor flows in the Create phase.
44 +On top of that we have added some additional functionality.
48 48  
49 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-219-creation-carousel-event-processor.png]]
46 +* Search option
47 + ** Original queue name
48 + ** Original message ID (which can be found as a header called jms_messageid in the error message view)
49 +* Save as test message
50 + ** By pressing this button you can save the message and use it in our flow testing functionality in Create.
51 +* Download
52 + ** By pressing this button you can download the message and use it outside of the tooling should that be needed.
50 50  
51 -//__SFTP sessions__//
52 -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>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.V304.WebHome||target="blank"]] has been released.

53 53  
56 +== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
57 +
58 +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.
59 +
60 +//__Define memory settings for on-premise runtimes from Deploy Architecture__//
61 +With this release, you are now able to define the memory settings (and therefore the memory limits) of your on-premise runtimes in the same manner as cloud runtimes. In all cases you can now define and change the memory settings via Deploy Architecture. In contrast to how these values are actualized for cloud runtimes you need to create a new release and deploy it to actualize the changes on-premise.
62 +
63 +//__Empty runtime feedback when deploying a release (or setting the release as active)__//
64 +To prevent that you are not being able to deploy a release to your environment due to a mismatch between what is in your release and in Deploy Architecture we have now added a feedback pop-up when deploying a release that notifies you for which runtimes there is a mismatch between your release and Deploy Architecture.
65 +
66 +//__Auto-fill namespaces for SOAP hosted webservices__//
67 +Based on your configuration in Design eMagiz will now auto-fill the namespace when you host a SOAP web service. This avoids any potential problems in validating messages.
68 +
69 +{{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}}
70 +
71 +//__Removed the ability to add "Debug components" to a flow running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
72 +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.
73 +
74 +//__Deployment plan is updated correctly when completly migrated to the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
75 +We have fixed a bug that generated an incorrect default deployment plan once you were fully migrated to the 3rd generation runtime.
76 +
77 +//__Correct property generation for Event Streaming flows using the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
78 +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.
79 +
80 +//__Added "Reset" functionality__//
81 +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.
82 +
83 +== **Feedback items ** ==
84 +
85 +We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
86 +
87 +//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
88 +We have improved various display names using the merge functionality within our store offering.
89 +
90 +//__Update security protocols for our internal architecture__//
91 +Parts of our internal infrastructure (i.e., docs.emagiz.com) have been updated to adhere to the latest security standards.
92 +
93 +//__Improved read-only description for "if exists" constructions in Transformations__//
94 +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.
95 +
96 +
97 +== **Bug fixes ** ==
98 +
99 +//__Decent validation feedback when not filling in the property value__//
100 +We have fixed the validation feedback you get when not filling in the property value using the "Check properties" functionality.
101 +
102 +//__Incorrect resource locations__//
103 +We have fixed several instances where the resource location was not generated correctly in the 3rd generation runtime.
104 +
105 +//__Apply to environment in User Management performance improvement__//
106 +We have improved the performance of updating User Management on your environment. This way, the update functionality is more stable and faster.
107 +
