3 3  This document describes the difference between the 3.0 version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector and the 4.X and onwards versions of the eMagiz Mendix Connector. On top of that it describes the checks and balances one has to go through while migrating from the 3.0 version to a newer version.

7 7  This packages has been created to support clients that are moving towards Mendix 8 in their environment. The latest version of eMagiz has been upgraded to use AMQP queues, which effectively means that direct connections from Mendix to onramp and offramp queues can be made. This has a positive effect as less effort is required in Mendix to interact with eMagiz and there is an easier management of the environment as only the infra flows need to be deployed (no exit and entry flows managed in Mendix).

11 -{{warning}} This version removes the web service layer from the eMagiz Mendix Connector. Mendix now connects to the eMagiz bus directly using Java Actions in microflows. The first upgrade to this new version may take more time for development and testing than previous updates of the eMagiz Mendix Connector. After that, however, it should be easier in use for both Mendix and eMagiz developers. {{/warning}}
