OpenAPI feed brought to the next level

It is now easier than ever to connect to a Blueriq API. For all REST web services in a project, Blueriq generates already generated a feed using the OpenAPI standard to communicate the interface to its consumers. The result of this feed could, for example, be used in a store with public APIs that can be consumed. In order to make the consumption of Blueriq REST services a smoother experience, the feed now consists of more information:

• The title and description of the info object can now be edited in Blueriq Encore.
• You can now add an OpenAPI description to fragments, arguments, and headers.
• All operations withing within a REST services are grouped, using tags. Additionally, a description can be added to these tags.
• Business Engineers are offered more insight into which for fields in a domain schema a description is present.  Allowing for a better maintained

 Outbox poller improvements

There are two processes ensuring that the outbox gets emptied. The first is a transactional listener that empties the outbox after an action on the Case Engine for a specific case ID. The second process is a poller that, scheduled with an interval, empties messages that are not picked up by the transactional listener.

The first poller exists for messages that were missed, so it can have a large interval. This could happen during a restart, for example. The second will ensure that messages, like the delete case messages, are picked up. This has a shorter interval by default. Those intervals are set with default values, so there is no need to change anything. The process outbox will remain almost empty under normal circumstances. When this is not the case in your situation, it is possible to configure the pollers. You can find more information on this topic at https://my.blueriq.com/x/twDv
