  • Updation to Swagger UI: OpenAPISpecification 3.0 support is added to the Swagger UI, which supports the Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPISpecification 3.0. On invoking the REST 3.0 service from Swagger UI, the runtime Swagger is generated as per OpenAPISpecification 3.0.
Note: The OpenAPISpecification 3.0 JSON file containing OpenAPISpecification 3.0-specific features, which are not in parity with the Swagger 2.0 JSON file, is not supported.
Encryption and decryption of application profiles. ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks provides capability to encrypt complete application profiles which can be decrypted while debugging and at runtime. It helps to increase security for application properties containing confidential information.

For more information about encrypting profiles in TIBCO Business Studio™ for BusinessWorks™, see "Encrypting an Application Profile" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Application Development.

For more information about handling encrypted profiles securely at the administration side, see "Configuring Application Archives" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Administration.

Now you can capture the details of query parameters sent as a part of the incoming request to a REST service. Set the following logger in the logback.xml file : 
<logger name="com.tibco.bw.binding.rest">
    <level value="DEBUG"/>
</logger>
A namespace prefix is now added for SOAP RPC Literal response. The response received from SOAP RPC Literal service was malformed. Hence the namespace prefix is prepended to the Response element.
New error code to represent SOAP Undeclared Client Fault The TIBCO-BW-BINDING-SOAP-550101 error code is displayed on the Invoke activity on receiving Undeclared Client Fault in response from a SOAP service. In case of server error, the error code TIBCO-BW-BINDING-SOAP-550100 is displayed.

For more information, see "SOAP Binding Error Codes" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Error Codes .

Support is added for OAuth 2.0 configuration This release adds support for OAuth 2.0 configuration on HTTP Client shared resource for getting OAuth access and refresh token.

It also adds ability to include access token in outbound REST reference.

A new OAuth Configuration shared resource is added.

For more information, see "OAuth Configuration Resource" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Bindings and Palette Reference.

Plug-in manager You can now install and uninstall TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ plug-ins from TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks in more simplified way using Plug-in manager.

For more information, see "Installing Plug-ins using BusinessWorks Plug-ins Manager" and "Uninstalling Plug-ins using BusinessWorks Plug-ins Manager" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Installation.

Administration
Ability to refresh the status of an application instance. The Refresh Agents button is added on page 1 and page 2 of Agents on the Admin UI.

This button refreshes the status of all AppInstances and AppNodes running on that particular agent.

Ability to collect and download AppNode data. The new Appnode Data tab is added on the AppNode Level 2 page.

For more information, see "Auto Collecting Engine Data" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Administration.

Support is added for MySQL 8.x. ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ now supports MySQL 8 database. The options to install the available versions of the driver are listed on the command line interface.

Note: You can install only one version of the driver at a time. If you want to install new version, the previously installed driver version is overridden.

To install the driver for Mysql database, use the bwinstall command line utility as follows: 

bwinstall mysql-driver

To uninstall the driver for Mysql database, use the bwuninstall command line utility as follows: 

bwuninstall mysql-driver

For more information, see "Using MySQL 8.x Database" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Installation.

Support is added to dynamically update flow limit. This release adds support to dynamically update the flow limit from the Application level 2, AppSpace level 2, and AppNode level 2 pages of the Admin UI.

You can also update the flow limit using the REST APIs.

Design Time
Visual Diff You can compare two revisions of a process and its artifacts side by side visually in TIBCO Business Studio™ for BusinessWorks™. It highlights changes in newer revision such as addition or removal of activities, changes in an activity configuration.
  • You can compare the application properties sections of two projects and difference between the two profiles of the same project.
  • You can compare the module properties sections of two projects.
  • This feature supports the visual difference for encrypted profiles.
  • You can compare two revisions of a process.
  • You can compare shared resources.
  • It provides integration with GIT and SVN to compare revisions stored in a version control system along with local revisions.

For more information, see "Diff Viewer" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Application Development
Sorting functionality is available for roles. Now you can move the rows up or down and sort the roles in ascending or descending order.
Custom Icon is now introduced for Call Process and Java Invoke activities. The Custom Icon field is added on the General tab for the Call Process and Java Invoke activities.

For more information see "Call Process" and "Java Invoke" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Bindings and Palettes Reference.

For more information on how to add the custom icons, see "Adding Custom Icons" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Application Development.

Support is provided for module property for the Client ID on the JMS Connection. You can use a module property for the Client ID on a JMS Connection resource.
Support is added for application templates. Ability to import and export pre-designed application templates designed with best practices and pre-configured processes, shared resources, modules etc.

It helps improve collaborative development experience and reusability where team members can design their applications using application templates.

You can perform the following operations:

  • Export an existing project as a template.
  • Create a project using a template
  • Modify an existing template.

For more information, see "Working with Templates" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Application Development.

Palettes
The ResourcePath element is added on the Input tab of the Invoke REST API activity. An additional element ResourcePath is added on the Input Tab of the Invoke REST API activity for overriding the Resource Path value on the General tab of the activity.
Support is added for PostgreSQL failover URL. Support is added for PostgreSQL failover URL. For example: 

jdbc:postgresql://host1:port1,host2:port2/database
The Loop Subset in Current Process check box and the Loop Subset in Calling Process field are added on the Advanced tab of the JDBC Query activity. These options are enabled only when the process in subsets is selected.

For more information, see "JDBC Query" in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Bindings and Palettes Reference.

A new Interpret Invalid XML Chars check box is added on the Advanced tab of the JDBC Query activity. Select the check box to avoid getting problems with illegal chars.
Now you can enable Debug level logs for the Parse JSON and Render JSON activities. Now the input and output for the Parse JSON and Render JSON activities are logged when the Schema Type is selected as XSD on the General tab, by enabling Debug level logs.

Add the following logger in the logback.xml file : 

<logger name="com.tibco.bw.palette.restjson">
<level value="DEBUG"/>
</logger>

Support is added for the square bracket ([]) in the resource path. You can pass a query parameter having the square ([]) bracket in the Invoke REST API activity's Resource Path field on the General tab or Input tab using percent-encoding for ? as %3F.
Runtime
Support is added to collect activity instance and process data instance. This release adds the ability to collect activity instance and process data instance.

The activity instance and process instance data is collected from the AppNode and is stored in a database. The data can be queried by using REST APIs to find maximum time consuming and maximum memory consuming activities and processes.
