Whats New

The What's New topic lists new and revised features of TIBCO ActiveSpaces® - Enterprise Edition version 5.0.0.

Security Capabilities

Secure grids can leverage of new security features introduced in TIBCO FTL®7.0.0, which offer enhanced encryption, authentication, and authorization options.

  • TIBCO ActiveSpaces® - Enterprise Edition grid processes and client applications can be configured to use user-defined certificates (either directly or optionally from the system trust store).

  • TIBCO ActiveSpaces® - Enterprise Edition grid processes and client applications can be configured to use the mTLS authentication provider set in the TIBCO FTL® realm.

  • TIBCO ActiveSpaces® - Enterprise Edition grid processes and client applications can be configured to use the OAuth2 authentication provider set in the TIBCO FTL® realm.

  • Samples and tools are updated to support the new TIBCO FTL® security and authentication capabilities.

Simplified Grid Process Deployment

The deployment of grid processes has been simplified by allowing certain grid processes to be configured to run as services hosted by a TIBCO FTL® server.

  • The state keeper can be run as a service hosted by a TIBCO FTL® server.

  • The administration daemon (tibdgadmind) can be run as a service hosted by a TIBCO FTL® server.

  • The as-start and as-stop scripts are updated to configure the grid with these services instead of standalone processes. When these scripts are run on an existing deployment, they detect this and start or stop the processes standalone as necessary.

Remove Copyset

To enhance the TIBCO ActiveSpaces® - Enterprise Edition data grid scalability, you can now remove copysets.

  • The tibdg admin tool can be used to deactivate a copyset.

  • The tibdg admin tool can be used to redistribute data from a deactivated copyset to the other copysets in the grid (as a background data transfer).

  • The tibdg admin tool can be used to remove a copyset from the grid configuration once it has redistributed the data to other copysets.

New Statistics to Provide Node Free Space Requirement

A new statistic is added, tib_as_node_free_space_wanted that provides an estimate (in bytes) of the amount of free space that a node needs on the filesystem to continue operation uninterrupted. If the free space on the filesystem drops below this value, the node is at risk of degraded operation or disk write failures.
