What's New

TIBCO Cloud Integration

Added support for the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service? (EMS) connector.

Develop / TIBCO Flogo®

• New environment variables: The following environment variables have been introduced in this release:
  • FLOGO_MAPPING_OMIT_NULLS: This variable is used to omit all the keys in the input of an activity which evaluate to null. The default is True. 
  • FLOGO_LOG_ACTIVITY_LEVEL: This variable is used to control the log level of all log activities in a given app. The default is INFO.
• Specifying the request schema for the DELETE method: In the ReceiveHTTPMessage trigger and the InvokeREST Service, the DELETE operation now supports the use of body with app/json as the request type. You can specify the request schema and pass the body to delete the endpoint. Specifying the request schema for the DELETE method is supported for manual configuration only and not when configured with TIBCO Cloud Mesh and API specification.
• Response time of InvokeRESTService activity on the activity output: The time taken by the InvokeRESTService activity to receive the response is displayed in the responseTimeInMilliSec parameter of the Output tab.
• Moving tabs: You can now move a tab to the left or right of any existing tab. Only opened and appended tabs can be moved to the tabs section. The moving of tabs is applicable for the current instance only.
• Ability to add activity between two activities by dropping over the branch: You can now add an activity in between two activities by directly dropping the activity on the branch label between the two activities. You need not delete the incoming and outgoing connections and reconnect them.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for SAP Solutions

Support for Visual Diff

The plug-in can now compare two revisions of a process and its artifacts side by side visually in TIBCO Business Studio? for BusinessWorks?. In the newer revisions, the plug-in highlights changes such as the addition or removal of activities and changes in an activity configuration. For more information about Visual Diff, see TIBCO BusinessWorks? Application Development.

Support of JMS Topics for Outbound IDocs

For the IDoc Listener and IDoc Parser activities, JMS Topics are now supported.

SAP Connection Shared Resource

For the Client Connection in the SAP Connection shared resource, connection type Websockets is now supported, including support for TLS.1.2.

Hot Update

This feature supports updating the module properties for the SAP Connection Shared resource for the Invoke activity only without restarting the application. It is supported with BusinessWorks? Container Edition. For more information, see the Hot Update of Shared Resource topic in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks? Plug-in for SAP Solutions User Guide.

Open Telemetry

The plug-in now supports Open Telemetry. It is supported with BusinessWorks and TIBCO BusinessWorks? Container Edition. For more information, see the Open Telemetry Tracing for TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Plug-in for SAP Solutions Palette topic in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks? Plug-in for SAP Solutions User Guide. 

Read Table Activity

An asynchronous Read Table activity is now available for the retrieval of records from an SAP table (excluding clustered and pooled tables) or view.  You can select the data with primary keys and output in the XML, JSON, or Avro format.

Fetch IDOC Schema field

To fetch IDoc list and download IDoc schema specific to the release segment, a new provision is given in the Fetch IDoc schema section. You need to specify the segment release, otherwise the default value is used which is retrieved using the connection resource used for the IDoc activity.

Note: If the Download IDoc Schema Specific to SAP Release configuration is unchanged from the default then the functionality of fetching the IDoc list and downloading the IDoc remains the same as in earlier plug-in releases. If the SAP release needs to be different then it is recommended that you maintain accordingly based on the same release maintained in the SAP partner profile.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for TIBCO Auditsafe

Update Audit Event Activity

The plug-in allows you to update an audit event on the TIBCO Cloud? AuditSafe server by using the Update Audit Event activity.

Changes in Functionality

TIBCO Cloud? Integration 

IPAS-22798

If you want the timestamp of the tibagent log line in UTC timezone, you must set the environment variable LOCAL_TIME_UTC=true using the following command:

LOCAL_TIME_UTC=true ./tibagent start agent agent37 

By default, if you do not declare the environment variable (LOCAL_TIME_UTC), it is the same as setting the variable LOCAL_TIME_UTC=false.

Validation of flows

The way in which flows are validated has changed. 

Migration and Compatibility

TIBCO Cloud Integration

TIBCO Cloud Integration only supports the most recent version of the Hybrid Agent and one version back. The most recent version of the Hybrid Agent is version 1.8.0, and the prior Hybrid Agent was version 1.7.0.  If you have a Hybrid Agent installed that is older than version 1.7.0, you should install Hybrid Agent version 1.8.0 to ensure the best performance.
