Refer to the respective Installation Guide for TIBCO Silver® Fabric Enabler for ActiveMatrix
BusinessWorks™ Configure, publish, run and scale BusinessWorks 6.2 application archives Run TIBCO
ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.2 application archives and scale based on BW Archive statistics.
Continuous deployment using the REST interface provides a scriptable way to scale archives that can
deploy and run the archive using a single command. Stack based archive scaling enables addition and
removal of application archives based on archive statistics set with conditional triggers you define.
Integration with Variable Provider
Supports use of TIBCO Silver® Fabric Continuity on published environments.
Change deployment environments and published configuration values quickly with the variable
provider, TIBCO Silver® Fabric Continuity.
Automated bwagent Registration with TIBCO Enterprise Administrator
Run TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Components in stacks with a dependency on TIBCO
Enterprise Administrator (TEA) and you can manage your Domain, AppSpace, AppNodes,
Applications and more with the TEA server interfaces. Alternatively you can connect to and use an
external TEA server to accomplish the same management tasks.
In one Stack this Enabler and the first release of TEA supports one BW Component running in the
Server Agent Role and many BW Components running in the Client Agent Role. So you can scale many
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Clients running on the same Domain with as many application
archives running as your physical constraints will allow.
Provision Environment, Agent Role, Domain, AppSpace, and AppNode Create, configure, and publish
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ 6.x Components specifying Environment Type, Agent Role,
Domain, AppSpace, and AppNode where your applications will be run.
Running Condition Checks Performed Regularly
When TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is running in Local mode the AppNode is regularly checked
to make sure it is responsive. When TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is running in Enterprise mode,
bwagent is checked regularly. Configurable thresholds and periodicity of checks allow for appropriate
responses when necessary.
Upgrade Enabler Components
Components created with release 2.6 of TIBCO Silver Fabric Enabler for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks
can be upgraded to utilize features of the 3.0.0 release.

Version
Key
Summary
3.4.0
SFBW-1444
Summary: When component is configured with Engine Persistence
mode as Group or FTGroup and application is deployed on more than
one AppNode, port conflict occurs which results in application
instances to go into a failed state in TIBCO® Enterprise Administrator
(TEA) console. Only one application instance is in running state.
Workaround: Manually change the port number for the failed
application instances in the TEA console to get them into running state.
3.4.0
SFBW-1442
Summary: The engine persistence mode FTGroup is supported only for
ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Distribution 6.3.4. Although the Engine
Persistence mode drop down shows the FTGroup mode for the prior
distributions as well, it is not supported for those versions.
Workaround: Do not use this mode for ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks
Distribution version other than 6.3.4 version.
3.4.0
SFBW-1347
Summary: In a busy administration setup, component allocation fails
with a message "Server is either down or too busy to respond." The error

continuous deployments when RV is chosen as a transport.
Workaround: None
3.2.0
SFBW-1340
Summary: If you check the option Do Not Redeploy Existing EAR File
at Startup in the basic configuration page, the status of application
changes from stopped to running. This happens after you redeploy the
same application to another machine using continuous deployment
with setting NoStart=true.
Workaround: Clear Do Not Redeploy Existing EAR File at Startup
option in the basic configuration page, and then restart component.
3.2.0
SFBW-1341
Summary: When you deploy application with FT-mode setting from a
component or rest call, the value of FT related configurations
hbInterval, activationInterval and preparationDelay are
ignored.
Workaround: Update hbInterval, activationInterval and
preparationDelay in TIBCO Administrator UI directly or deploy the
application using the AppManage utility, with the deployConfig xml
file specified in the Command line. Do this if hbInterval,
activationInterval and preparationDelay are updated in
deployConfig xml file.

SFBW-965
Summary: The stop REST command for TIBCO ActiveMatrix
BusinessWorks 6.x version parses <archive-id> is same as <app
name>. As the stop command does not output <archive-id>, users
cannot use <archive-id> in the REST/CLI call.
For 5.x version, the stop REST command requires <archive-id> to stop
the EAR application. For example, curl -u admin:admin -X POST -H
"Accept:application/json" -H "Content-Type:multipart/formdata" -v "http://Broker_IP:Port/livecluster/rest/v1/sf/
engines/{daemon-id}/{engine-instance}/archives/{archivename}/{archive-id}/stop" <archive-id>

Summary: If you create a BusinessWorks component with the Register
Enterprise server with TEA server option selected, set the
BusinessWorks component dependent on the TEA component and
publish it on a stack. Running the BusinessWorks component displays
only one BusinessWorks agent, even if the BusinessWorks maximum
instance number is set to 3.
Workaround: This issue is specific to TIBCO ActiveSpaces, so you can
use Database/EMS as the Domain data persistence and
communication transport layer in the enterprise mode.
1.1.0
SFCT- 69
Summary: A prerelease version of TIBCO Silver Fabric Continuity, the
newest Variable Provider, currently fails to accept certain ActiveMatrix
BusinessWorks release 6.2 archives for upload.
Workaround: Components accept REST and CLI commands that can be
used to specify variable providers.
3.0.0
SFBW- 1033
Summary: While creating the Threshold Activation rule, if you choose
the component statistics as the condition type, the statistics that are not
supported by the current distribution appear incorrectly in the dropdown.
Workaround: None
2.0.0
SFBW- 637
Summary: Runtime changes to engine allocation or threshold
deactivation does not remove engines when the number of runtime
instances were at a previously allowed minimum or maximum.
Workaround: Use TIBCO Administrator to remove engines. Compliance
with the new allocation or threshold deactivation rule set resumes
properly.

Summary: When a TIBCO EMS Distribution is not loaded on the TIBCO
Silver Fabric Broker, the Choose Optional Distributions page appears
without the ability to select any Distribution because a supported
TIBCO EMS Distribution has not been loaded. By design the Choose
Optional Distributions drop-down menu only displays versions of
TIBCO Enterprise Messaging Service distributions.
Workaround: Install a supported TIBCO EMS Distribution on the
TIBCO Silver Fabric Broker.
2.6.0
SFBW- 874
Summary: When the TIBCO Administrator component is running in FT
mode it can resist changes to LDAP settings. Attempted changes to the
TIBCO Administrator component LDAP settings by XML file can fail.

Administrator Component UI, it can be updated successfully.
2.0.0
SFBW- 767
Summary: When using Fast TLM Restart, the domain data changes its
location, but the logFilePattern does not. Log file location for the
domain data directory are not retained in the same directory when
using Fast TLM Restart.

screen and some BW processes may be orphaned.
Workaround: None
2.0.0
SFBW- 479
Summary: If no application is deployed on the TLM, undeploying the
TLM BW component does not remove the machine from TIBCO
Administrator. Machines are never deleted from the domain.
Workaround: To remove the machine from the TIBCO Administrator,
use the remove machine feature which is available from TIBCO
Administrator Manager machine management.
2.0.0
SFBW- 639
Summary: In some cases scaling an archive instance will forces
preexisting instances to be updated and restarted.

SFBW- 621
Summary: Scaling up a Component archive instance restarts the original
archive instance.
Workaround:
1. Deploy archives using the AppManage utlity with FT mode
disabled. Avoid using TIBCO Administrator for initial archive
deployment, OR
2. Create two service instances of the archive in non-FT mode. Save it.
Remove the second service instance created. Save and deploy the
application.
