6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we focused on testing the eMagiz Mendix Connector and solving internal feedback on the process and the connector itself. With that behind us, we are ready to launch the new eMagiz Mendix Connector in our community. With this release, we will make it available for all new Mendix systems in models running on the current-generation architecture. In a future release, we will bring a migration wizard aiding a simple and smooth migration to the new eMagiz Mendix Connector and add it to our softcrow procedure. On top of that, we have some minor updates to improve the quality of the 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!

10 +//__Monitoring Trigger - Improvements__//
11 +
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.

10 -This release introduces the new eMagiz Mendix Connector to our platform. This means that when you add a new Mendix system to any eMagiz model that runs on the current-generation architecture (new and existing), eMagiz will configure this Mendix system to act as the new eMagiz Mendix Connector.
27 +In the coming weeks, we will actively monitor eMagiz models to see to what extent this advice has been implemented.{{/warning}}
11 11  
12 -We have created this eMagiz Mendix Connector to simplify the configuration and management of the eMagiz Mendix Connector, to enhance the stability of the connection between your Mendix app and your eMagiz model, and to simplify problem detection if something goes wrong. As a result, the whole way of working with the eMagiz Mendix Connector has changed both in Mendix and in eMagiz. This means that less communication is needed during the development of integrations with Mendix, smoothening the development process and that the functionality within Mendix resembles how we run all our runtimes in the current-generation architecture. For more information, please check out these courses:

15 -* [[eMagiz Mendix Connector - Detailed Configuration>>Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Intermediate Level.Mendix connectivity||target="blank"]]
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.

17 -{{info}}
18 -* **Before using this, please take into consideration the following**:
19 -* The needed Mendix Marketplace module will be available starting **February 28.** We are currently **awaiting** approval from Mendix. Once this is final the Marketplace module named "eMagiz Connector" can be found in the Mendix Marketplace. We will keep you updated on the status via our news outlet in my.emagiz.com.
20 -* Your Mendix app needs to run on **Java 17**
21 -* Your Mendix app needs to run on version 9.24.25 or higher
22 -** We have tested and support the LTS and MTS versions of Mendix with this eMagiz Mendix Connector
23 -* Share the activation key after the integrations are added to a release that is **activated**.
24 -* Should problems arise while implementing this, please contact us via our [[support department>>mailto:support@emagiz.com]].

27 -== **Minor Changes** ==
37 +== **SFTP Authentication Option Added - New Runtime Image** ==
28 28  
29 -//__Added View option on support objects__//
30 -We have added a view option that allows you to browse the list of support objects when you are **not** in "Start Editing" mode. This makes determining whether particular support objects exist and which ones you need before diving into building a flow much easier.
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".
31 31  
41 +* Password
42 +* Keyboard-Interactive
43 +* Password and Keyboard-Interactive
44 +* Keyboard-Interactive and Password

47 +
32 32  == **Bug Fixes** ==
33 -//__Auto-creation connector infra SOAP hosted endpoint__//
34 -We have changed the auto-creation behavior for SOAP web service systems. This means that we now properly create two support objects, Payload Root Endpoint Mapping, and SOAP Web service interceptors, to avoid errors when opening the entry flow for the first time.
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.
35 35  
36 -//__Manage Dashboard Error__//
37 -We now prevent errors in the Manage Dashboard overview when an error occurs in a component with an id that does not follow the {{code}}[id].[system].[flow]{{/code}} convention or when that value is longer than expected.
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.
