A new command line option -removediagraminfo is added to the export command. For example:

export -ear test2.application -removediagraminfo D:\Samples

This feature helps you reduce the size of the .EAR file.

• Provision for excluding the unused resources while creating .EAR file.

  You can also preview the list of unused resources that are excluded during generation of .EAR file.

• The Delete option under Unused resources view performs cascade delete.

  You can preview the list of dependent unused resources that are also deleted when you delete an unused resource.

• The unused Module Shared Variables or Job Shared Variables are displayed under Unused Resources view.
• The count of unused resources for the application is displayed.

For more information about the enhancements made, see "Unused Resources" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Application Development guide.

You can combine two module properties in the following ways:

1. Two properties in the same module-

   prop1 = C:\
   prop2 = applications
   prop3 = %%prop1%%%%prop2%%
   
   So prop3 becomes C:\applications at runtime.

2. One property in the shared module and one in the application module -

   prop1 = C:\
   prop2 = applications (defined in shared module)
   prop3 = %%prop1%%%%//<name of the shared module>//prop2%%
   
   
   prop3 becomes C:\applications at runtime

You can use these complex values in shared resources as well.

You need to manually populate the input tab for the SetContext activity. In the component binding section, only the copy-of function mapping is currently supported. For a one-to-one mapping, you need to do a manual mapping.

When you select the check box, the SSL Client Configuration field is visible.

A new field Security is added on the General tab of the TCP Receiver and the TCP Wait For Request activities. Select the SSL Server shared resource from the drop down list.

By default the check boxes are not selected.

For more information about HTTP 2.0 support, see "HTTP Connector" and "HTTP Client" shared resources in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Bindings and Palettes Reference guide.

For more information, see "Invoke for SOAP with HTTP" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Bindings and Palette Reference guide.

Set the property to true and restart the AppNode to take effect the changes.

For more information, see "Engine Properties" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Administration guide.

To enable authorization, set the property bw.agent.http.authorization to true in the bwagent.ini file.

Users assigned the admin role are given full permissions including create, read, update, delete, and lifecycle. The operator role has the read and lifecycle (start, stop) permissions. The user role has the read only permission.

A new feature has been added to BWAgent REST API that returns only the selected fields instead of the full response based on the query parameters.

Example 1: To check the status of an Application, the REST API GET URL would be -

http://localhost:8079/bw/v1/domains/<DomainName>/appspaces/<AppspaceName>/applications/

<ApplicationName>/<ApplicationVersion>?fields=state

The url will return the following response:

{"state":"Running"}

Example 2: To get AppSpace details

Normal query - http://localhost:8079/bw/v1/domains/<DomainName>/appspaces/<AppSpaceName>

It will give the total payload(all fields).

Select Query - http://localhost:8079/bw/v1/domains/<DomainName>/appspaces/<AppSpaceName>

?select=name,status – It will retrieve only 2 fields.

Sub-field - http://localhost:8079/bw/v1/domains/<DomainName>/appspaces/<AppSpaceName>

?select=appSpaceConfigRefs.href – It will fetch href of appSpaceConfigRefs.

For more information, see "Reconfiguring Deployment Target" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Application Development guide.

This option is enabled by default, and opens all the executed processes while running an application in the debug mode.

You can now disable the Automatically open process files during debugger session check box by clearing it, and the processes within the application do not open when the application is run in the debug mode.

The Dependency Visualizer feature provides graphical representation of all the direct and indirect dependencies and references for an application. You can use this option to view the hierarchy of processes, shared resources, WSDL files, and XSD files.
