6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, our new environment template will be available! Please find out more about it [[here>>Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates||target="blank"]]. Moreover, we have addressed several key feedback points within our platform.
6 +**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!

8 -== **New Environment Templates** ==
9 -
10 -As announced on our [[status page>>https://status.emagiz.com/incidents/nc5jxhxtkvfg||target="blank"]] we will release a new environment template to our community. This environment template contains two significant changes on your environment of which the eMagiz agent is key. This agent is responsible for communicating between the various machines within your model (both on-premises and our cloud).
8 +== **Deployment Plan Improvements** ==
11 11  
12 -{{info}}
13 -* **Please take into consideration the following migration actions**:
14 -* You can use the [[(automatic) upgrade procedure>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.eMagiz Cloud Management.novice-emagiz-cloud-management-cloud-templates-explained||target="blank"]] as provided within the platform to update your environments to this new environment template.
15 -* Please ensure to update the environment template before the **February, 13th 2025**. We impose this deadline to avoid delays for subsequent updates to our infrastructure.
16 -* Should you encounter any problems please your partner manager!

10 +//__Monitoring Trigger - Improvements__//
18 18  
19 -== **Minor changes** ==
20 -//__Help text improvements__//
21 -We have added updated the help texts on our (S)FTP components to better explain the local filter options. This to avoid confusion on the intention of those settings.
12 +* For the step type "Monitoring Trigger," we have re-introduced the "Enable" option.
13 +
14 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-229-enable-option.png]]
15 +
16 +* The "Disable" option under this step type comes with two new options.
17 +** End Action. Here, you can opt for the following three options:
18 +*** Auto-enable triggers
19 +*** Send email
20 +*** Both
21 +** 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.
22 +
23 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-229-disable-option.png]]
24 +
25 +{{warning}}Note that the end action is only triggered when the deployment plan cannot complete all steps. When all steps are completed, the timer is **stopped**. Therefore, we advise adding the "enable" step back to the end of your deployment plan to ensure that triggers are automatically re-enabled when the deployment is successfully finished. This also covers cases where the deployment plan is automatically executed (by pressing the play button), after which the user moves on to other things and forgets to move away from the page once the deployment plan is completed.
22 22  
23 -//__Migration functionality removed__//
24 -We have removed Spring 6 related migration functionality from our portal given that all our customers are already migrated to the latest runtime image. As a result, this functionality became obsolete.
25 -
26 -//__Manage Alerting feedback__//
27 -We have slightly altered the user experience when configuring an alert in eMagiz with regards to the "Notification" part of the trigger. In here we now provide an explanation of what is going wrong when trying to activate the notifications **without** selecting **any** recipient. On top of that we now filter out **all** inactive users to ensure they cannot be selected as a recipient on a trigger.
27 +In the coming weeks, we will actively monitor eMagiz models to see to what extent this advice has been implemented.{{/warning}}

29 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-236-ux-improvement-notifications-alerting.png]]
29 +//__Default Plan - Improvements__//
30 30  
31 +* When you press the "Default Plan" option, the following changes will occur (assuming you also have a default plan on your environment):
32 +** The existing "Disable" step is extended to define that eMagiz will automatically enable triggers after 60 minutes have passed.
33 +** The "Enable" step is added as the last step of your deployment plan.

36 +
37 +== **SFTP Authentication Option Added - New Runtime Image** ==
38 +
39 +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".
40 +
41 +* Password
42 +* Keyboard-Interactive
43 +* Password and Keyboard-Interactive
44 +* Keyboard-Interactive and Password

47 +
31 31  == **Bug Fixes** ==
32 -//__Import from Store - Design__//
33 -The possibility of importing anything from the store in Design is now blocked when the system has no technical name yet. This is to avoid broken transformations within the Create phase of eMagiz.
49 +//__XPath Header Enricher - Help Text Improvement__//
50 +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.
34 34  
35 -//__Changing number of runtimes__//
36 -As a regular user, you can now increase and decrease the number of runtimes for existing Systems. This allows you to transfer them from Design Architecture to Deploy Architecture to be utilized in future deployments.
52 +//__XPath Configuration - Transformation__//
53 +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.
