Description

January 12, 2022

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x is a graphical user interface based integration platform which supports high scalability and interoperability to easily design, configure and develop complex integration projects and automate business processes.

The ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x platform has no end of support date and will continue to be maintained in parallel with the BW 6.x platform. Adapters and Plug-ins that are compatible with BW 5.x will continue to have versions available that are supported with BW 5.x.  End of Support may be announced for older Adapter and Plug-in versions via individual end-of-support notices.

As of Jan 12, 2022, the current release is 5.15. For details, please refer to the BW 5.15.0 Release Notes.

Because the new releases of BusinessWorks 5.x include security updates and support for current platforms, we may announce end of support for older versions of BW 5.x along with older adapters and plug-ins, which may contain security vulnerabilities and support obsolete versions of operating systems and other third party software.

See the answers below to frequently asked questions.  If there are any additional questions or queries, please reach out to the Integration Product Management Team at integration-pm@tibco.com.
