5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on a lot of things that are unfortanetly not quite ready to be released. As a result the ouput of this release is limited. Having said that we still bring some key improvements in the Deploy and Manage phase that would make life much easier.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** The past few weeks we have worked hard to release our new queue alerting design. Please find out all new features in our [[Standard Alerting eMagiz>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] microlearning. Note that the new queue alerting will not yet be availalbe for queues with message redelivery. Next to alerting, we have worked on tenant items, machine pop-ups and progress bars, as well as the Infinispan Cache Manager. Find out all below!

7 -== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
8 +== **Feedback Items** ==
9 +//__Queue alerting__//
10 +Alerting for message queues has been improved for the [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] architecture, which includes the following improvements:
11 +* New UI that shows all queues and the alerting that is active on them.
12 +* Every queue in the model will be automatically added to the list of queues in Manage - Alerting.
13 +* Triggers of a queue will be automatically enabled or disabled based on whether that queue is included in the release.
14 +* Added 2 new trigger types "inactivity check" and "periodic activity check" that replace the "queue throughput" alert.
15 +** These checks can now run for a (very) long time, whereas the "queue throughput" was limited by 1 hour.
16 +* The alert generation has been solidified to reduce the likelihood that your alerting is affected with false positives or false negatives during eMagiz maintenance.
17 +* When the same check of multiple queues trigger at the same time, the alerts will be aggregated into a single summarized email instead of a single email per alert.

9 -//__Enhanced right-hand view within Deployment Plan context__//
10 -When executing your deployment plan we will show specific log entries of the info category that indicate that a container (i.e. runtime) has started up correctly. On top of that we show the warnings and errors in this overview.

11 11  
12 -{{info}}Note that when the JMS container gets restarted connection errors in the logs are a normal thing to witness so keep your eyes peeled for the startup logging on JMS level to gain confidence in the deployment.{{/info}}
13 13  
14 -//__Improved timeout settings when deploying__//
15 -To avoid mismatches between various parts of the infrastructure we have improved the timeout configuration on certain deployment plan steps to reduce the chance that these mismatches occur.
22 +{{info}}Please check out our [[Standard Alerting eMagiz>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] microlearning for an elaborate explanation of our new queue alerting design. {{/info}}

17 -{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the current-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
24 +eMagiz will migrate your dynamic queue alerts on the **release day** when you are **fully** or **partially** migrated to the [[current runtime architecture>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]]. When doing so, we will configure the new queue alert in a similar fashion to best match its current behaviour. Note that the queue alerting will only function for models that are **fully** migrated to the [[current runtime architecture>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]]. Should you want to change or create new queue alerts, you can do so starting the day **after** the release to avoid conflicts with our migration.

19 -//__Detailed HTTP Statistics now show user info in specific additional cases__//
20 -To solve a bug for a specific client we changed the logic to show the user info (i.e. first part of the api key) in a specific implementation just as we already do in our standard implementations.
26 +{{warning}}Please note that the new queue alerting will not yet be available for models with message redelivery. {{/warning}}

28 +//__Tenant technical name__//
29 +The technical name of a tenant cannot be changed once the tenant has been transferred to Create.
23 23  
24 -//__Improved loading speed of Manage Dashboard__//
25 -This release improves the loading speed with which all the dashboards in Manage are shown to the user. This will enhance the user experience within the Manage phase.
31 +//__Tenant transfer__//
32 +A tenant cannot be untransferred from Create if the connector container of that tenant is still active in Deploy.
26 26  
27 -== **Store Improvements** ==
34 +//__Property placeholder__//
35 +A property placeholder which contains a tenant name will be hidden in case its values and the technical name of the tenant are equal.
28 28  
29 -//__Importing in Design is improved__//
30 -We have solved a bug that could cause issues when importing something in Design while the accompanying integration was not yet in Create.
37 +//__Machine pop-up__//
38 +* The machine pop-up in Deploy Architecture now shows the name of the machine in the pop-up header.
39 +* The machine health indicator has been improved visually.
40 +* Several progress bars have been improved visually.

32 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
42 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-226-machine-name.png]]
43 +
44 +//__Infinispan Cache Manager__//
45 +The Infinispan Cache Manager has been updated to:
46 +* Provide an additional 'transport type' to offer more means for creating a clustered setup;
47 +* Provide clearer helptexts explaining which of the options is needed and what its effect is;
48 +* Include validation on fields depending on the selected 'transport type'.
33 33  
34 -//__Deprecated reminder pop-up removed__//
35 -We have removed a reminder pop-up on a pending cloud template as it was deprecated and could cause issues when using it in communication with other systems.
36 -
37 -//__Improved selection area in Flow Designer__//
38 -When working on a large flow you can now select specific areas easily while you are scrolled down furhter down the flow.
39 -
40 -//__Improved Kafka settings_//
41 -For all flows that use a Kafka related component within the flow designer we will run a migration to update every single one of them to the new best practices and create a new flow version for them.
42 -
43 -{{info}}We stronly encourage all users that use these components to update to these new best practices as they increase stability of the cluster and throughput of the solution{{/info}}
