Develop/TIBCO Flogo® Connectors

TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Kafka

The Topic Whitelist field in the settings for Kafka Consumer Trigger is not supported in TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Kafka as of the TIBCO® Cloud Integration August 2023 release.

There is no impact if this field is not used.

You may observe one of the following:

• If used along with the Topic field, only the topic configuration is used.
• If used without configuring any topic, an error message is displayed.

Workaround: You can add topics configured using the regex in the Topic Whitelist field as a list of comma-separated topics in the Topic field.

TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Microsoft SQL Server

WIMSSS-507

There is a variation in the TIME and XML datatype in MS SQL Server activities at design time.

The  TIME2 datatype is now displayed instead of the TIME datatype. The XML is replaced with the SS_XML datatype.

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 1.7.0, and the prior Hybrid Agent was version 1.6.0.  If you have a Hybrid Agent installed that is older than version 1.6.0, you should install Hybrid Agent version 1.7.0 to ensure the best performance. 

Develop/TIBCO Flogo® 

End of Support for Custom Access Key

If you are enabling the DB Service with a custom access key (starting the agent with a custom access key, creating an on-premises database, and testing the app), then as of this release, the existing apps running will continue to work, even if they are re-pushed.

If you disable the DB Service with a custom access key, it uses the system access key automatically, causing the existing DB Connectors to stop working. To fix this, start another agent with the same specifications, without using an access key. Follow the below steps:

1. ./tibagent configure agent -p <port> <agent_name>
2. ./tibagent start agent --spec <on-premise port>:<ip/hostname>:<on-premise port>

 (FLOGO 11271)

Note: This is only applicable for DB Service.

Deprecating and End of Support

Integrate/TIBCO BusinessWorks? Plug-ins

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks? Plug-in for SWIFT has been removed from TIBCO Cloud Integration. (SWFT-5078)

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks? Plug-in for OData Services for SAP S/4HANA

Removal of Data Direct drivers - The plug-in does not support Data Direct drivers. You can use Native DB drivers, instead.
