229 - XPath Alignment

Hi there, eMagiz developers! In this release, we made several improvements to keep our model running smoothly. We also made some small changes to various XPath-related parts of the portal and updated our deployment plan. Find out all the improvements and bug fixes below! 

Deployment Plan Improvements

Monitoring Trigger - Improvements

• For the step type "Monitoring Trigger," we have re-introduced the "Enable" option.

• The "Disable" option under this step type comes with two new options.
  • End Action. Here, you can opt for the following three options:
    • Auto-enable triggers
    • Send email
    • Both
  • Duration. Here, you can define a waiting period that states how long eMagiz should wait before executing the end action. The value of this field needs to lie between 15 and 120 minutes. Note that the timer starts when your deployment plan's "disable" step is finished.

Default Plan - Improvements

• When you press the "Default Plan" option, the following changes will occur (assuming you also have a default plan on your environment):
  • The existing "Disable" step is extended to define that eMagiz will automatically enable triggers after 60 minutes have passed.
  • The "Enable" step is added as the last step of your deployment plan.

SFTP Authentication Option Added - New Runtime Image

With this release we launch a new runtime image that provides an additional configuration option on our SFTP (caching) session factory support object. With this option you can define the order in which the authentication is handled and which options are allowed. The following options are possible. The default configuration option (which is valid in 99% of the cases) is "Keyboard-Interactive and Password".

• Password
• Keyboard-Interactive
• Password and Keyboard-Interactive
• Keyboard-Interactive and Password

Bug Fixes

XPath Header Enricher - Help Text Improvement
We have added a help text segment that explain that you will get the first result back if your XPath returns a list of values. Secondly, we have added an additional help text segment that explains how to change the XPath expression in case you want to get a list of values back.

XPath Configuration - Transformation
We fixed a bug that caused the “Value“ input field to disappear once you switched from the "custom xpath" to the "if exists" option when adding a Conditional block in the Create Transformation tooling. 

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:

• Spaces handled differently in folder name after using SMB components for file connectivity
• How to process messages with invalid XML content like "&#x2"
