PCP-9344

Summary: After upgrading to TIBCO Control Plane from an earlier version, if only infrastructure components are upgraded and capabilities are not upgraded, the following compatibility issues occur for existing apps:

  1. The BWCE or Flogo app endpoints are not available

  2. App Monitoring data is not available

  3. Resource metric tab is disabled

PDP-1411

Summary: On the Observability page, the Global Observability Data Planes dropdown is selected by default. It shows data only from the data planes that belong to a cluster where the observability backend is configured.

Workaround: To let the data planes point to the same global observability resource across clusters, expose the Elastic search and Prometheus as an Internet or public endpoint.

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Capability

Key

Summary and Workaround

MSGDP-1381

Summary: The previous versions of the EMS Capability User Interface incorrectly tag the file for browser caching purposes. If you do not see new features or encounter an application error, you might be using an old version.

Workaround: Clear your browser cache and refresh the current page. Alternatively, you can use a private browsing mode.

MSGDP-1163

Summary: When connectivity to the activation license server is lost and the server pod is restarted, the EMS server fails to obtain a license from the local cache.

Workaround: Restore connectivity to the activation server. The EMS server keeps retrying, and service resumes when connectivity is restored.

Summary: When registering an EMS server with explicit monitor MTLS enabled, metrics are not collected.

Workaround: In the monitor-ssl properties, set the property ssl_require_client_cert to false.

Summary: On many Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters, the default storage class gp2 does not support the shared logs option when provisioning EMS.

If you provide a storage class, which is backed by Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes or other single-pod storage volumes, the chart is deployed but the pods are stuck in the Pending state.

Workaround: Delete and provision the capability again without enabling log sharing.

Control Tower Data Plane

Key

Summary and Workaround

HKCT-190

Summary: The Domains registered from the Control Plane UI should match the already created domains using Domain Utility to view the connected product specific applications.

Workaround: None.

TIBCO BusinessEvents® Enterprise Edition

Key

Description

BE-33480

Summary: The application with the same name deployed in the same domain but in different clusters are still visible on UI after it is been removed from Admin.

Workaround: None.

TIBCO Developer Hub

Key

Summary and Workaround

PLTDX-1694

Summary: User information is not populated in template by using the correct syntax, for example: ${{ user.entity.metadata.name }}.

Workaround: None

PLTDX-1459 Summary: When the Control Plane and Data Plane are deployed using the same Kubernetes cluster and using traefik as ingress controller and the host-name used for the control plane and TIBCO Developer Hub are same, you get a 404 response code from the Control plane while accessing TIBCO Developer Hub.

Workaround: In this case, the ingress configured for the Control Plane namespace is taking priority over the TIBCO Developer Hub ingress.

Use different hostnames for Control Plane and TIBCO Developer Hub. FQDN of the Control Plane and the TIBCO Developer Hub should not overlap. For example, it should not have my-cp.customer.com for Control Plane and developer-hub.my-cp.customer.com for TIBCO Developer Hub.

PLTDX-911 Summary: TIBCO Developer Hub provisioning is failing with - "Error while provisioning Capability: Failed to provision chart(s): [oauth2-proxy-cml558asvbptpnp3pmeg]".

Workaround: The issue is caused by the presence of the oauth2proxy chart in your data plane for the old instance of TIBCO Developer Hub capability. You need to manually uninstall this chart to proceed.

Use the following steps: 

  1. Go to your DP Cluster.

  2. Run helm ls -n <dp-namespace>.

  3. Identify the oauth-proxy chart for your TIBCO Developer Hub capability. If you have BusinessWorks Container Edition or Flogo capability installed, you have more than one oauth2proxy chart installed. Kindly ensure that you identify the right oauth2proxy chart that corresponds to your TIBCO Developer Hub instance ID.

  4. To delete the chart, run - `helm uninstall <oauth2proxy-release-name> -n <dp-namespace>`.

PLTDX-967

Summary: User is getting the following error - "could not find oauth2proxy chart details, kindly delete this instance, and create a new instance to fix this issue".

Delete the current instance and provision again using the same custom configuration file. While creating an instance, you might face the PLTDX-911 error, kindly follow its workaround to proceed.

Workaround: None.
