Differences between ActiveMatrix Service Grid 3.x and ActiveMatrix Service Grid - Container Edition

This section lists the differences between ActiveMatrix Container Edition and ActiveMatrix Service Grid 3.x in terms of functionality and migration support.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix Business Studio

TIBCO ActiveMatrix Business Studio is not bundled as part of ActiveMatrix Service Grid - Container Edition. You can use TIBCO ActiveMatrix Business Studio bundled with ActiveMatrix Service Grid 3.4.0, 3.3.1, or 3.3.0 to design applications.

Messaging Bus

Unlike ActiveMatrix Service Grid, Messaging Bus is not required for communication within the components of TIBCO ActiveMatrix applications or for message notification. Since the Messaging Bus is not required, there is no dependency on TIBCO EMS in ActiveMatrix Service Grid - Container Edition. TIBCO EMS is required for applications containing SOAP/JMS and JMS binding types, but it is limited to use at application level for business purpose.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix SPM Server and Dashboard

The TIBCO ActiveMatrix SPM Server and Dashboard are not available as part of ActiveMatrix Service Grid - Container Edition. You can use the Application Monitor in ActiveMatrix Service Grid - Container Edition to monitor running applications. Metrics similar to SPM can be exported by using various Prometheus exporters.
