5 | New Features

New FeaturesThe following features have been added in this release of TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Edition.

New Object Management TypeIn both clustered or unclustered deployments, you can now use stores directly in your project (for persistence without cache) by using the new Store object management (OM) type. You can select either of the two new modern store providers to be used for persistence in Store OM.

l TIBCO ActiveSpaces

l Apache Cassandra

For more details, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Configuration Guide.

Apache Ignite as a New Cache Provider TIBCO BusinessEvents now provides Apache Ignite as built-in cache provider, in addition to Legacy ActiveSpaces. You can use Apache Ignite with or without persistence stores with TIBCO FTL as the cluster provider. Apache Ignite works with all the existing and new supported stores.

For more details on cluster and cache configurations, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Configuration Guide.

New Persistence Store Options with Apache Ignite CacheWith the new Apache Ignite cache, you can now use modern stores for persistence with cache in your projects. With Apache Ignite, in addition to the existing RDBMS store options, the following store options are now available:

l TIBCO ActiveSpaces

l Apache Cassandra

For more details on store configurations, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Configuration Guide.

Application Metrics StoresYou can select from multiple metrics store providers to view application metrics for your TIBCO BusinessEvents applications in a visualization software. Now, you can get the


6 | New Features

application metrics for the In Memory application in the same way as the Cache OM application. TIBCO BusinessEvents supports the following metrics stores:

l InfluxDB

l TIBCO LiveView Server

For more details on application metrics configurations, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Configuration Guide.

CDD RedesignThe Cluster tab of CDD is redesigned for the new flexible design for cluster, cache, store, and metrics store providers. The new design provides an easy-to-use way of setting up different providers for your project. The TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio UI now uses configurable (by advanced users) XML files to display configuration settings for these providers. Also, when you import an existing project (from the previous release) through the wizard, the CDD is automatically formatted into the new design.

For details, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Configuration Guide.

Improved Runtime PerformancePerformance of extId based entity lookup in cache and persistence store is now improved. Also, now you can use the composite primary key for entity lookup by disabling the legacy lookup strategy. Also, added a column Present in Key in the Properties Metadata section to use the concept property in the primary key when the key-based lookup strategy is used.

For details, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Administration.

GitHub Cloud Tools Repository EnhancementsTIBCO BusinessEvents cloud tools repository is upgraded to support all the new features of TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Edition. Also, for Kubernetes deployments, cloud tools now supports Helm charts, which further eases the deployment process on different cloud platforms.

TIBCO BusinessEvents cloud tools repository are available in GitHub.

Deployment Script Generation Utility UpgradeThe schema and migration script generation utility for backing store is now upgraded to support new stores: TIBCO ActiveSpaces and Apache Cassandra. For details, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Developer’s Guide.

https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/be-tools


7 | New Features

Log4j 2.x UpgradeThe support of log4j is now upgraded to version 2.x. For details, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Configuration Guide.

HTTP ChannelAdded new advanced properties for HTTP channel to rotate the access logs created by HTTP channel. For details, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Developer’s Guide.

Catalog Functions

l Added a new catalog function Log.getName to retrieve the logger name from the logger object.

l Added the Cluster.DataGrid.CacheLoadConceptByKeysByUri and Instance.getByKeysByUri catalog functions to load concepts from cache or stores using composite keys when key-based lookup strategy is enabled.

For details, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Functions Reference.

Concepts From XSD FilesThe studio-tools utility now provides a new command importXSDs to import the XSD file and create concepts using it. For details, see TIBCO BusinessEvents Developer’s Guide.

TIBCO Software, Platforms, and Third Party SoftwareFor the updated list of supported TIBCO Software, Platforms, and Third Party Software, see the readme.txt file provided with TIBCO BusinessEvents.

20 | Known Issues

Known IssuesThe following issues exist in this release of TIBCO BusinessEvents Enterprise Edition.

Key Summary

BE-28956 Summary On AIX and zLinux platforms, the be-storedeploy utility does not work.

Workaround

1. Go to BE_HOME\bin and open the be-storedeploy.tra file for editing.

2. In the be-storedeploy.tra file, remove --add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.misc=ALL-UNNAMED from java.extended.properties.
