Documentation Restructuring
Chapters relating to setting up a cluster and a backing store have been moved from the TIBCO BusinessEvents Administration guide to TIBCO BusinessEvents Developer’s Guide (this guide). Now the TIBCO BusinessEvents Administration guide contains only deploytime and runtime administration topics.
Studio-tools Changes
Topics relating to studio-tools command-line utilities used in TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager are now shown only in TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager User’s Guide. Command-line syntax has also changed in this release. Documentation for tools in the studio-tools suite is provided in relevant sections of the guide.
Default for ParallelOps Changed
In release 5.0, parallel operations was enabled by default when cache aside database write strategy was used. Now parallel operations is enabled by default only when both cache aside and concurrent RTC features are used. See Table 56, CDD Agent Classes Tab Inference Agent and Query Agent Settings.
Hawk Channel
The Hawk channel connects TIBCO BusinessEvents to a TIBCO Hawk domain and can be configured to use either TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO Enterprise Message Service transports. The Hawk channel enables TIBCO BusinessEvents to receive events from the Hawk monitor and transform them into events. Information about how to configure and work with the channel has been added in Chapter 7, HAWK Channel.
Connection to TIBCO Hawk domain through a specific transport is configured using the shared resource Hawk connection. See Hawk Connection.
ActiveSpaces Channel
The ActiveSpaces channel connects TIBCO BusinessEvents to TIBCO ActiveSpaces metaspace. This enables TIBCO BusinessEvents to monitor the activities on the TIBCO ActiveSpaces metaspace and receive events from TIBCO ActiveSpaces and convert them into events in TIBCO BusinessEvents. Information about how to configure and work with the channel has been added in Chapter 8, ActiveSpaces Channel.
Connection to a space in TIBCO ActiveSpaces is configured using the shared resource ActiveSpaces connection. See ActiveSpaces Connection.
HTTP Channel Changes
The BUILT-IN server option is no longer required and has been removed. Tomcat server version 7 is now supported, and it provides functionality previously provided by the BUILT-IN server type.
Backing Store Persistence Options
The backing store can now be configured with one of the following persistence options: None, Shared All, or Shared Nothing. Chapters related to backing store configuration have been updated with information about the new persistence options.
Load Balancer Configuration for Agents
Agents can be configured to work cooperatively as routers and receivers to ensure that related messages arriving from queue sources are handled by the same agent, so that related information is locally available. Chapter 25, Load Balancer Configuration explains the load balancing options and provides the steps to configure from the CDD file.
Generate JDBC Deployment Scripts From TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio
TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio provides an alternative approach to generate the project-schema-specific SQL scripts using the JDBC Deployment wizard. The wizard also allows you to generate SQL scripts to migrate existing backing store database. See Generating Scripts Using the JDBC Deployment Wizard for details.
