Closed Issues in 6.4.0_HF-001 (This Release)

BC-9399
When the EMS based inter-component communication between TIBCO BusinessConnect 
Interior server and private process is broken, the inbound transactions will fail 
and can only be resent manually.

Support has been added in TIBCO BusinessConnect to enable protocol plug-ins for
automatically resending failed inbound transactions upon restoring the lost EMS 
connection.

BC-9498
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection with TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is 
supported only for version 8.4.0 and above.

Note: Add java.property.Config.SecurityVendor=j2se to the designer.tra file located 
in the TIBCO_HOME/designer/version/bin directory for private process JMS connection 
and Intercomponent and Private Process JMS test connection.

BC-9737 / BC-9747
TIBCO BusinessConnect Interior server engines are not auto-reconnecting to EMS, 
upon encountering communication errors.

TIBCO BusinessConnect EMS based inter-component communication is enhanced to 
implement truly functioning tier-2 reconnect mechanism.

BC-9738
Server Name Indication (SNI) on web servers for TLS Communications.

Support has been added in TIBCO BusinessConnect for populating SNI host_name header
to ensure each handshake with SNI enabled trading partner(s) includes the correct 
SNI header, when outbound transactions are routed through HTTP/TCP proxy.

In order to specify SNI enabled trading partner names, define a new BC property by 
following the steps given below:
    1. Logon to Tibco Administrator.
    2. Go to BusinessConnect > System Settings > 
        Activated Protocol Plug-ins and Properties > BC
    3. Click Add.
    4. Set the below values for the new property
        Property Name : bc.https.sni.enabled.tplist
        Property Type : string
        Description : Comma separated list of SNI enabled trading partners.
    5. Click Save.
    6. Set appropriate value for the newly added property.
    7. Click Save.
    8. Click Done

BC-9739
Enhance BC HTTP retry mechanism to deal with HTTP 4xx, 5xx status codes.

Support has been added to enable transport level retry by protocol plug-ins for 
HTTP status codes 4xx and 5xx.

To active this, define a new BC property by following the steps given below:
    1. Logon to Tibco Administrator.
    2. Go to BusinessConnect > System Settings > 
        Activated Protocol Plug-ins and Properties > BC
    3. Click Add.
    4. Set the below values for the new property
        Property Name : bc.http.server.error.retry 
        Property Type : boolean
        Description : Enable transport level retry for HTTP status codes 4xx & 5xx
    5. Click Save.
    6. Select the checkbox (true) for the newly added property.
    7. Click Save.
    8. Click Done.

BC-9743
The HTTP response sent by Tibco BusinessConnect Gateway disclosed the server details.

Support has been added to specify a value for the "Server" header of HTTP response,
sent by Tibco BusinessConnect Gateway server. When set, this value overrides the 
application and Tomcat's default value "Apache-Coyote/1.1".
 
In order to specify a custom value for the "Server" header, define a new property 
by following the steps given below:
    1. Edit gsengine.tra file located in {BC_HOME}/bin directory.    
    2. Add a new Java system property with "gs.webengine.http.server" as the key.
        gs.webengine.http.server=<server_header_token>
       where, <server_header_token> is the value of Server header.
       E.g., java.property.gs.webengine.http.server=TIBCO BusinessConnect

can neither be retried nor resent manually.

when Scheduled Transmission is enabled in TIBCO BusinessConnect.
