TIBCO Cloud? Integration V2.2.0 November 19, 2020 Release

What?s New 

We've added new features and some updated Connectivity.

• Hybrid Agent - now provides the streaming functionality for logs, giving you one download to provide monitoring, connectivity, and streaming of logs making it easier to use TIBCO Cloud Integration. This feature also provides communication with on-premises resources for apps running in the cloud, for example databases, etc.
• App Tagging - Allows you to define and apply tags to any app type and use those tags for filtering. For example, a tag could be created based on the type of app, such as ecommerce apps, or by department, such as Sales, to group them together. App tags are created on-the-fly as you configure an app. (IPAS-15114, IPAS-15115)
• Develop - Organization-Level Connections - Previously, Connections were saved at the user level. Now they can be promoted to the organization level where they can be used across different Develop apps by more than one user in the organization. This makes it easier for the users in the same organization to work together. (IPAS-11964)
• Develop / Integrate - OAS 3.0 Support - OpenAPI Specification 2.0 was previously supported. OAS provides a standard OpenAPI Specification (formerly Swagger Specification) as an API description format for REST APIs. An OpenAPI file allows you to describe your entire API. This allows TIBCO Cloud Integration - Develop to provide this definition for endpoints as a starting point for a flow. (IPAS-15043)
• Supplements - Improved Supplement management with a new Supplements page under Environment & Tools, which displays a list of supplements and associated connectors. You can also upload Supplements from the User Interface instead of the Command Line Interface. (IPAS-13967, IPAS-15099)
• Agent info icon - On the Agents page, Hybrid Agents now have an info icon that displays the names and the number of remote apps registered with that agent. (IPAS-14828)

TIBCO Cloud? ? Command Line Interface

The following new commands and options were added: 

• Added an option to filter the app list by one or more app tags. (IPAS-15253)

   

  Example: tibcli app list --tag apple --tag orange

• The app copy command also copies app tags associated with the source app. (IPAS-15325)
• The app delete command removes the association between the app and any tags linked to that app. (IPAS-15326)

TIBCO BusinessWorks? 

• The Export to Consul check box and tokenization button are now available for Cloud edition projects. (AMBW-40796)
• Added support for the credential management system for application properties that are type password in TIBCO Cloud projects. (AMBW-41184)

TIBCO Flogo®

• The SendEmail activity now supports:
  • Sending file attachments
  • Setting Reply-To configuration
• Using the enhanced Flow Tester, you can:
  • See the flow execution and the progress made in the execution of the flow. In the new Flow Tester
  • interface, when an activity is being executed, a blue animation is displayed around it.
  • See errors displayed at the activity-level.
  • Select an activity after its execution to see the inputs and outputs.
  • Change the inputs to other valid values and start the execution of the flow from that point onwards.
• When you import an app that contains one or more activities or triggers that are not installed in your environment, a warning is displayed in the Import App dialog but you can still import those activities and triggers. Activities and triggers with a missing extension display an error until you upload the extension. 
• Database connectivity
  • For all complex queries that needed manual mode, metadata generation is significantly enhanced to use standard query parsing leading to a better user experience.
  • Secure connection support for TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Microsoft SQL Server, TIBCO Flogo® Connector for PostgreSQL, and TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Oracle MySQL is now provided.
• For the TIBCO Flogo® Connector for TIBCO Cloud? Messaging, the MessageSubscriber trigger now supports standard durables. (FGTCM-26, FGTCM-16)

BusinessWorks? Plug-in for Apache Cassandra

Connection Pooling for Shared Resource Connections - Apache Cassandra connections are pooled in memory. Each Shared Resource establishes and stores two TCP connections in a single pool connection to the Apache Cassandra database, regardless of the number of activities using the resource. The exception is for Get Cassandra connection, which creates a new connection every time it is invoked.

Changes in Functionality

TIBCO Cloud? Integration - Hybrid Agent

The tibagent configure monitor command used to configure the Hybrid Agent has been changed to tibagent configure agent. (IPAS-15919)

TIBCO Flogo®

• You can no longer see the output of a Flogo flow in the debugger logs. (FLOGO-6438)
• For database connectors, metadata populated in the table now displays generic data types. (WIDBSV-394)

Tools

The TIBCO® Cloud - Command Line Interface commands for log streaming and access to on-premises systems have been moved to the Hybrid Agent. To use the logStream command to stream app logs, see Installing, Configuring, and Running the Hybrid Agent in the TIBCO? Cloud Integration documentation. (IPAS-15212)

Important: You can continue to use the existing  TIBCO Cloud? ? Command Line Interface, but if you download the latest TIBCO Cloud? ? Command Line Interface these commands are accessed via the Hybrid Agent.
