224 - Summer Sonata

Hi there, eMagiz developers! Over the past week, we focused on improving the usability of our platform and addressing community feedback. Specifically, we enhanced user interface elements on several pages, including the descriptions of help texts, external links within help texts, and the overall layout of help text pages. Additionally, we made improvements to several pop-up pages. We also made the user interface more user-friendly for debugging integration flows. Lastly, we resolved an issue for some models when creating an Event Processor.  

Feedback Items

Integration requirements: retention duration and bytes
The pop-up page for specifying integration requirements in the Capture phase now correctly asks for the required retention duration and bytes for the integration/topic, instead of the previously incorrect terms retention size and bytes.

Integration requirements: help text
Collapsing the help text of this pop-up page by clicking the "?" icon on the top right corner of the pop-up page will now correctly hide the help text pane.
 
Property value page
Pop-up pages with non-editable input fields containing long text are now displaying the entire content without any text being cut off at the edge of the page.

Bug Fixes

SFTP sessions
Support has been added to provide SFTP session factories with a known_hosts in string format rather than file format, so that it is easier to setup SFTP. For this, a new runtime image is available. Moreover, helptexts have been added for clarification.

SMB outbound gateway
The SMB outbound gateway with the GET command did not work, this has been resolved. For this, a new runtime image is available.

TaskScheduler
In rare occurences, when a TaskScheduler was used, a deadlock situation could occur due to thread starvation. The number of threads available to the TaskScheduler has been increased to resolve this issue. For this, a new runtime image is available.

View XSLT
We fixed an issue with the transformation tooling, where it was not possible to view an XSLT in certain cases.

Multipart/form-data HTTP request
The recommended SpEL expression used for contructing a multipart/form-data HTTP request was no longer valid. The documentation has been updated with the new standard and the updated expression is now part of our default test suite. The legacy documentation is also still available.

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:

• .NET REST API authentication
• SMB Session Factory can't connect to AIX (or Linux) Samba share
• Check header value http_statusCode in standard filter
• How set up alerting for one message per hour
