Enterprise Message Service

ActiveMatrix BPM requires TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (EMS) version 8.3.x:

  • TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is used as the notification and messaging backbone for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM.
  • You must install TIBCO Enterprise Message Service before you install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM. (See Configuring TIBCO Enterprise Message Service.)
  • TIBCO Enterprise Message Service does not have to be installed on the same machine as TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM. (You will specify the connection details needed to contact the EMS Server as part of the installation and configuration process.)
  • TIBCO Enterprise Message Service can also be used by the TIBCO ActiveMatrix SOAP and JMS binding types. The TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM license does not cover this usage of the included TIBCO Enterprise Message Service software. You must separately license TIBCO Enterprise Message Service for this usage.

TIBCO Business Studio™

TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition 4.2 is required to model processes and deploy them.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Decisions

TIBCO ActiveMatrix Decisions 1.3 is required to execute decision services on TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM.
