As shown in the table:
•
TIBCO Administrator 5.10 requires TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.10. The installer enforces this requirement.
•
TIBCO Administrator 5.11 requires TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.11. The installer enforces this requirement.
•
TIBCO Administrator 5.12 requires TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.12. The installer enforces this requirement.
If administration domains already exist on a machine when you install TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.12, the TIBCO Hawk agents for these domains will continue using existing 5.x code until you upgrade each domain using Domain Utility. The TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.12 installer provides an option to upgrade the TIBCO Hawk agent to use TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.12 software for each domain.
Project and Domain Compatibility
Forward compatible applications can exchange data with or use configuration information of newer versions of the application.
TIBCO Designer
TIBCO Designer 5.12 can open and edit projects saved by older versions of TIBCO Designer. After a project is saved by TIBCO Designer 5.12, you cannot re-open the 5.12 project with a release prior to TIBCO Designer 5.12.
TIBCO Administrator
You can use any TIBCO Administrator release to deploy applications created by any TIBCO Designer 5.x release.
•
TIBCO Administrator 5.12 can deploy and administer enterprise archives created in previous versions of TIBCO Administrator.
•
TIBCO Administrator primary and secondary servers must be of the same release.
•
TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.12 can be part of a domain where the TIBCO Administrator server is 5.12.
•
TIBCO Administrator 5.12 can communicate with a TIBCO Hawk Agent on another machine in the domain running TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.9, 5.10, 5.11. or 5.12.
An application configured using TIBCO Designer 5.10 and above deployed using previous versions of TIBCO Administrator can also be deployed using TIBCO Administrator 5.12. The domain on the client machine where the application is running can be, but does not need to be, upgraded to use TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.12 as TIBCO Administrator can administer domains consisting of different versions of TIBCO Runtime Agent.
* 
When working with domains where TIBCO Runtime Agent is not upgraded and the domains are configured with TIBCO® Database Drivers SupplementTM; the domains do not work. You must upgrade TIBCO Runtime agent to 5.12.4.
TIBCO Runtime Agent
Projects that are created on different versions of TIBCO Runtime Agent can be deployed and administered by the same version of TIBCO Administrator.
