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!** We have done much work for state generation, so that you can derive more information from your data! Examples are enrichment, aggregation, change detection and duplicate detection. Next to state generation, several improvements regarding the alignment of components have been made. Moreover, performance improvements and bug fixes have been implemented. Lastly, a change in the metrics storage duration has been performed.
7 7  
7 +{{warning}}State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license.{{/warning}}
8 +
9 +== **State Generation~*~*** ==
10 +
11 +//__New components__//
12 +The following components have been added:
13 +* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
14 +* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
15 +* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
16 +* Duplicate detector: support object used to detect duplicate messages for a certain key on an inbound channel of a flow component. Duplicates can be marked or discarded.
17 +* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
18 +
19 +//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
20 +Added SpEL functions for:
21 +* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac.
22 +* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond).
23 +* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser).
24 +
25 +Added support for SpEL property accessors for XML and JSON, meaning that you can read message payloads in SpEL expressions easily. For example, to retrieve the value for 'id' in the following JSON String: `{"id":"123"}`, this SpEL expression suffices: `payload.id`.
26 +
27 +Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions. With this functionality, you can access your JSON payloads in a similar way as you would access XML payloads using [[xPath>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Advanced Level.Create your transformations.advanced-create-your-transformations-xpath-advanced||target="blank"]].
28 +
29 +{{info}}The components are all configurable from the Flow Designer in Create and are accompanied by a help text explaining the use cases and the various technical configurations. Note that to make the components work in your model, a new release containing the latest image (2.0.0) needs to be deployed.{{/info}}
30 +
31 +{{warning}}The library used for Code Mappings has been changed. Any customer with next generation architecture runtimes and code mappings is required to reset their container infra flows prior to deploying on image 2.0.0. This has no consequences on a functional level. {{/warning}}
32 +
33 +== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
34 +We will change the retention of monitoring data of different environments. For minute level data, it will be kept for test, acceptance and production environments for 7, 14 and 30 days respectively. Then the minute level data will be reduced to hour level data then will be stored for test, acceptance and production for 3, 6 and 12 months respectively.

8 8  == **Feedback Items** ==
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.
45 +//__Import from store__//
46 +The button 'Import from Store' in Design will directly open the store instead of showing a pop up asking whether the store should be opened.
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.
48 +//__Save and cancel buttons placement__//
49 +The save and cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
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.
51 +//__User session times__//
52 +The user session times for next generation architecture dashboards have been extended, so that the user is not thrown out of the model when using the Manage phase for longer than an hour.
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.
54 +//__Cancel and next buttons order__//
55 +The order of the cancel and next buttons when creating a new trigger has been changed to increase alignment across the platform. Now, all cancel buttons are placed on the right of a 'next' or 'save' button.
21 21  
22 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-219-creation-carousel-stack-trace.png]]
57 +//__Data sink page__//
58 +The data sink page has been moved to the “Explore” tab.
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.
60 +//__Unused images removal__//
61 +When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
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.
63 +//__Flow Designer performance__//
64 +Performance improvements for the Flow Designer have been implemented.
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}}
66 +//__Properties with special characters__//
67 +When a user would migrate to the next generation architecture and deploy their release containing properties with special characters, certain flows could not find the correct values to properties anymore or could not find the properties altogether. With this release, special characters such as a backslash do not break properties after deployment.
29 29  
69 +//__Hidden flow fragements__//
70 +When importing items from the store, flow fragments that are hidden in design will be listed under the versions in create.
71 +
72 +//__Resources disappearances__//
73 +Resources would disappear in the flow designer when pressing Cancel on selecting a new resource. With this release, resources without a name will not trigger error messages when users select components.
74 +
75 +//__Error channel for all inbounds__//
76 +If there is no custom error handling, next generation migration would set the error channel to “errorChannel” only for the first inbound in an entry flow. We added a migration step, such that the error channel is set to “errorChannel” of all inbounds in a flow if the custom error handling is set to false.
77 +
78 +//__Highlighting resources__//
79 +The performance of highlighting resources of selected components is improved in Read only mode.
80 +
30 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.
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.
83 +//__Topic and event-processor names__//
84 +The styling of the event streaming canvas in the Create and Deploy phases has been altered slightly to make topic and event-processor names more readable.
36 36  
37 -//__Create integration removal__//
38 -When removing an integration from Create, the Create phase is now correctly updated.
86 +//__System alignment__//
87 +The positioning of Systems across Design, Create and Deploy phases are now synchronized to the position of their respective System in the Capture phase. So, systems are aligned regarding positioning across all phases. This will be done for existing systems as well.
39 39  
40 -//__Legacy statistics__//
41 -Legacy pages are now correctly hidden when running on the current runtime architecture.
89 +//__Error alerting__//
90 +The error trigger is now configured to check if an error message contains a certain term, besides checking the error header.
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.
92 +//__Alerting__//
93 +For the next generation architecture models, several adaptations to triggers have been made.
94 +* For the next generation architecture models, you will no longer receive alert messages for every error message, every log message of 'level' ERROR, and for memory usage above 80%.
95 +* For the next generation architecture models with event streaming, the threshold to receive the 'Topic approaching maximum size' alert has been increased from 95% of configured size used to 110%.
96 +* The next generation architecture configurable trigger for error messages has been extended with the option to check whether the 'last-exception' message contained a certain text. This can be combined with the header-value match.
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.
98 +//__Unused containers__//
99 +Containers are set inactive when they are unused and removed in Design.
48 48  
49 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-219-creation-carousel-event-processor.png]]
101 +//__Error popups when promoting a release version__//
102 +We fixed an issue that a lot of error popups were shown when you promoted a release version to a next environment.
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.
104 +{{warning}}There is a new eMagiz Mendix connector available because a memory leak was found, only affecting Mendix connectors that have been migrated to the next generation architecture. It is advised to upgrade to the new eMagiz Mendix connector before fully migrating to the next generation architecture. {{/warning}}
