6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release,
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we have invested our effort to improve the performance and experience of our platform in the Deploy phase. Next to that, we did several bug fixes, not only for the Deploy phase, but also for the Store. Lastly, we made some changes to the alerts that you may be receiving.
7 7  
8 +== **Alerts** ==
9 +
10 +//__Topic approaching max size alert__//
11 +The alert ‘topic approaching maximum size’ has been temporarily disabled due to a high number of false positives.
12 +
13 +//__Missing metrics alert__//
14 +We solved an issue where the ‘missing metrics’ alert did not always contain the full container name.
15 +
8 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.
18 18  
19 -If your model is running on the [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] architecture, you will be migrated on the day of release. eMagiz will transfer the queue alerts that you have currently configured to the closest match in the new alerting stack. Models that are in the process of migrating to the [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] architecture during the time of the release of this feature will be able to pre-configure their new queue alert triggers, but will not be able to make active use of them until the runtime migration has finished.
18 +//__Improved release build process__//
19 +When a new release will be activated, no longer all containers will be rebuild but only affected containers will be rebuild. This should decrease the time for a release to be ready to be deployed.
20 20  
21 -{{info}}Please note that the new queue alerting will not yet be available for queues with message redelivery. {{/info}}
21 +//__Container version overview__//
22 +Due to the improved build process for containers, the release versions and container versions will not longer be the same anymore. Therefore we introduce a way where you can look up to see which container versions are linked to a specific release. This can help you to identify if your containers that are running have the right version according to the release.
22 22  
23 -{{info}}Please check out our [[Standard Alerting eMagiz microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] for an elaborate explanation of our new alerting design. {{/info}}

26 +//_Improved deployment process_//
27 +The improved release build process, as mentioned above, brings another major improvement to the platform. Because container versions will not be updated regularly we can identify during a deployment which container should get a new container version. Only the ones that should get a new version will be deployed and restarted, all other containers will not go down and keep running. This decreases the deployment time and improves the performance.
26 26  
27 -//__Tenant technical name__//
28 - The technical name of a tenant cannot be changed once the tenant has been transferred to Create.
29 +//__Rebuilding of images__//
30 +Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.
29 29  
30 -//__Tenant transfer__//
31 -A tenant cannot be untransferred from Create if the connector container of that tenant is still active in Deploy.
32 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
32 32  
33 -//__Property placeholder__//
34 -A property placeholder which contains a tenant name will be hidden in case its values and the technical name of the tenant are equal.
34 +//__Runtime metrics processing__//
35 +The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
35 35  
36 -//__Machine pop-up__//
37 -* The machine pop-up in Deploy Architecture now shows the name of the machine in the pop-up header.
38 -* The machine health indicator has been improved visually.
39 -* Several progress bars have been improved visually.
37 +//__Deployment plan__//
38 +We solved a bug where a deployment step in the execution of the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.

41 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-226-machine-name.png]]
42 -
43 -//__Infinispan Cache Manager__//
44 -The Infinispan Cache Manager has been updated to:
45 -* Provide an additional 'transport type' to offer more means for creating a clustered setup;
46 -* Provide clearer helptexts explaining which of the options is needed and what its effect is;
47 -* Include validation on fields depending on the selected 'transport type'.
40 +//__View all store items__//
41 +An issue has been fixed where it was not possible to load more store items in the left panel in the Create phase Flow Designer.
48 48  
43 +//__Out of memory behavior__//
44 +We improved the out of memory behavior of runtimes. Runtimes will now always restart when an out of memory error occurs.
45 +
46 +//__Max fetch size__//
47 +In the Flow Designer, we improved the help text of the advanced option of ‘max fetch size’ for the Mail Inbound Adapter component to better describe how that option affects the component's behavior.
