Third-Party Software Requirements

LDAP Server

ActiveMatrix BPM uses ApacheDS, with which it is bundled. If you want to use a corporate LDAP server instead, after installing ActiveMatrix BPM, you must add and configure new shared resources for the new LDAP connections, as explained in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Administration guide.

Web Browsers

ActiveMatrix BPM requires a web browser to run Openspace, Workspace, Application Management (and its example myWork application) and the ActiveMatrix Administrator GUI.

The following tables list the web browsers that are supported by the different ActiveMatrix BPM runtime user interfaces.

The ActiveMatrix BPM 4.2.0 MyWork application and TIBCO Forms have been tested on an Apple iPad Air 2 running iOS 10.3. TIBCO anticipates that these components will work equally well on an iPad Pro and iPad Mini although the display content will be smaller on the latter.

iPhone and iPod Touch devices are not supported

Safari on OS X 10.12.x 10 Note: Apps hosted by Application Development (for example, Workapp and Case Management) are supported on Safari. Application Development itself is not supported on Safari.

The ActiveMatrix BPM 4.2.0 MyWork application and TIBCO Forms have not been tested with Safari 10 on a Mac running OS X 10.12 or above but it is expected that they will largely run satisfactorily.

Mobilespace
Device Notes
iOS Mobilespace uses WKWebView (1.1.4) to render the webcontent on iOS devices.

Mobilespace and the Mobile Case Management app have been tested on iPhone and iPad running iOS 10.3.2.

The Supported Versions specified are the minimum versions of each browser that are supported by ActiveMatrix BPM. Unless otherwise specified, you can use a more recent version of a browser as long as the vendor claims the recent version to be compatible with the specified version.

Note: In the event of a problem with a more recent browser version, TIBCO will employ reasonable efforts to provide support on that browser version. However, TIBCO may request that you reproduce the problem on a supported version of the browser. This may mean that you potentially change to a different version that does not exhibit the issue; ideally only on a temporary basis.

Support for Microsoft Internet Explorer Versions 8, 9 and 10

In January 2016, Microsoft stopped support for all but the latest version of Internet Explorer on currently supported Microsoft operating systems. This means that version 11 is the only fully supported version of Internet Explorer. TIBCO is aware that some customers may still be using Internet Explorer versions 8, 9 or 10.

TIBCO's support for these older versions of Internet Explorer in this version of ActiveMatrix BPM is based on previous versions of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM (Openspace and Workspace) having been supported and working. If customers using these older versions of Internet Explorer report problems with their use with Openspace, Workspace or TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator (GUI) and a workaround is not available, neither TIBCO nor Microsoft will be able to assist further and TIBCO will recommend using a supported browser.
