====================================================================== Product Name : TIBCO Hawk(R) Release Version : 5.2.0 Release Date : May 2015 ====================================================================== Introduction TIBCO Hawk is a sophisticated tool for monitoring and managing distributed applications and systems throughout the enterprise. With Hawk, system administrators can monitor application parameters, behavior, and loading activities for all nodes in a local or wide-area network and take action when pre-defined conditions occur. In many cases, runtime failures or slowdowns can be repaired automatically within seconds of their discovery, reducing unscheduled outages and slowdowns of critical business systems. TIBCO Hawk 5.x introduces the option of using a Datagrid (TIBCO ActiveSpaces based) for Hawk interagent and interprocess communications (in lieu of TIBCO Rendezvous) and TIBCO Hawk WebConsole replaces the deprecated TIBCO Hawk Display fat-client application. ====================================================================== Supported Platforms Apple Mac OS X 10.7.x, 10.8.x, 10.9.x 64-bit on x86-64 HP HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), 11i v3 (B.11.31) 32-bit on Itanium 11i v2 (B.11.23), 11i v3 (B.11.31) 64-bit on Itanium IBM AIX 6.1 32-bit on pSeries 6.1, 7.1 64-bit on pSeries Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit on x86 7, 8, Vista 64-bit on x86-64 Microsoft Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 64-bit on x86-64 Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.x, 11.x 32-bit on x86 10.x, 11.x, 15.x 64-bit on x86-64 Oracle Solaris 10, 11 32-bit on SPARC 10, 11 32-bit on x86 10, 11 64-bit on SPARC 10, 11 64-bit on x86-64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.x, 6.x, 7.x 32-bit on x86 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x 64-bit on x86-64 Additional Information For JRE8 support following are the platform and version specifics as per the oracle JRE8 support guidelines: Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10.x (32 bit and 64 bit) - 10SP2+ Apple Mac OsX 10.8.x - 10.8.3+ RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 (32 bit) - not supported For more details please refer to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/certconfig-2095354.html ====================================================================== Supported Third-party Software Application Server Apache Tomcat 6.0.x, 7.0.x Oracle WebLogic Server 11.1.x Database IBM DB2 for Linux, Unix and Windows 9.5.x, 11.5 Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, 2008.x, 2012, 2012 R2 Oracle Database 10g RAC 10.2.x Oracle Database 11g 11.1.x Oracle Database 11g RAC 11.1.x, 11.2.x Oracle Database 12c 12.1.x Oracle Database 12c RAC 12.1.x Sybase 15.0.x, 15.5.x Web Browser Google Chrome 40.0.x Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0.x, 10.0.x, 11.0.x Mozilla Firefox 36.0.x Web Server Jetty 6.1.x Additional Information Database software is only required if using the TIBCO Hawk Event Service.

Up to 700Mb may be required for installing some configurations. Memory: Minimum memory requirements vary by platform and configuration of microagents. A minimum of 512Mb should be expected. ====================================================================== Minimum Software Requirements TIBCO Software: TIBCO ActiveSpaces(R) - Enterprise Edition 2.1.2 custom version included with Hawk for use as Datagrid transport, if required. This is HF9 of AS 2.1.2 TIBCO Rendezvous(R) 8.1.1, 8.4.2 8.1.1 - minimum supported version when using JRE/JDK1.6. 8.4.2 - minimum supported version when using JRE/JDK1.7. Third-party Software: Apache Tomcat 7.0.x Embedded in TIBCO Hawk Distribution to be used as default web container for Hawk WebConsole Sun Java Development Kit 1.6.x, 1.7.x Sun Java Runtime Environment 1.6.x, 1.7.x 1.7.x - included with Hawk Additional Information The use of a Java Development Kit (JDK) rather than Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is required for the use of the JVM microagent and HTTP Adapter. ====================================================================== TIBCO Product Compatibilities TIBCO ActiveSpaces(R) - Enterprise Edition 2.1.2 TIBCO Administrator(TM) - Enterprise Edition 5.7.0 and above TIBCO Enterprise Message Service(TM) 6.0.0 - 8.6.0 6.0.0 - minimum supported version when using JRE/JDK1.6. 6.3.0 - minimum supported version when using JRE/JDK1.7. TIBCO Hawk(R) Distribution for TIBCO Silver(R) Fabric 5.2.0 TIBCO Rendezvous(R) 8.4.2 - 8.5.1 TIBCO Runtime Agent(TM) 5.7.0 and above TIBCO(R) Enterprise Administrator 2.1.0 and above Additional Information TIBCO Enterprise Message Service may be used as the interprocess transport when used with TIBCO Rendezvous as the local transport, in which case it should be installed before TIBCO Hawk. TIBCO Hawk 5.2.0 requires that associated or dependent products (such as TIBCO RunTime Agent, TIBCO Administrator, and various platform microagents) to be declared compatible with this version of Hawk. For example, TIBCO Administrator <= 5.8.0, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks <=5.11, TIBCO Hawk ActiveMatrix Plug-in Software <=1.2.0, TIBCO BusinessEvents <=5.1.1 are all incompatible with Hawk 5.0.0 agents and therefore Hawk 5.0.0 should not be loaded to the same TIBCO home where these products are installed. However Hawk 5.2.0 will be functionally compatible with any versions of these products which either have Hawk 4.9.x microagent or Hawk 5.1.x and above microagents. Functional compatibility means if the Hawk 5.2.0 agent can detect and work (execute methods of) the hawk microagents embedded in the mentioned products or not. This is compatibility from Hawk point of view and it is not meant to certify any products with Hawk 5.2.0. Please refer to the below the functional compatibility which Hawk 5.2.0 has: Hawk 5.2.0 agent can detect and work (invoke microagents of) following Hawk versions: 1. Hawk 5.2.x Standalone 2. Hawk 5.1.x Standalone 3. Hawk 5.0.0 Standalone 4. Hawk 4.9.x Standalone 5. Hawk 5.2.x embedded 6. Hawk 5.1.x embedded 7. Hawk 4.9.x embedded Also, see the additional note on TIBCO Hawk 5 WebConsole compatibility with previous versions of Hawk (and therefore with the use of the above mentioned products in alternative way). ====================================================================== Encoding Support There is no specific internationalisation support in this version of TIBCO Hawk. ====================================================================== Product-Specific Information TIBCO Hawk includes a license for the use of either TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO ActiveSpaces as the Hawk transport; this is for the use of TIBCO Hawk only. Note TIBCO Rendezvous Enterprise Daemon (such as RVRD) must be licensed separately (for example if using Hawk with RV across subnets). TIBCO Hawk WebConsole can view multiple domains including domains running Hawk 4.9.X agents. TIBCO Hawk includes the TIBCO Hawk HTTP Adapter and TIBCO Hawk EMS Administrator Plug-in that had been separate components in past releases. TIBCO Hawk 5.2.0 is distributing TIBCO Hawk Admin agent for TIBCO Enterprise administrator. This agent will enable TIBCO Enterprise administrator(along with TIBCO Hawk webconsole and TIBCO Hawk Display) to be a console for TIBCO Hawk. ====================================================================== Documentation Documentation for this and other TIBCO products is available on the TIBCO Documentation site.
