TIBCO Runtime Agent (TRA) 5.7.1 or higher 5.7.x.

[MODIFIED 09-AUG-2013]

Limitations and Restrictions –

Please note that a Security Advisory was announced on February 1, 2011 for TRA 5.7.0 (http://www.tibco.com/services/support/advisories/), so Support for TRA 5.7.0 has not been added to TIBCO Adapter for IBM AS/400 5.5.0. For further inquires about Support for TRA 5.7.0, please contact TIBCO Support.

For HP Itanium, TIBCO Adapter for IBM AS/400 5.5.0 supports 64-bit TRA executable.
For all other platforms, TIBCO Adapter for IBM AS/400 5.5.0 supports 32-bit and 64-bit TRA executables.

Known Issues -

Configuration Changes –

Because DataDirect drivers are no longer shipped in TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.7.1, 5.7.2, 5.7.3 and 5.7.4, TIBCO Adapters should use vendor-supplied database drivers for design-time configuration and runtime implementation. Please refer to SOL1-BHBRDL for detailed configuration steps.

In order to run the adapter with the 64-bit TRA package (which uses the 64-bit JVM), a workaround must be implemented. For workaround details, see SOL1-C9RZZX: How to run adapters developed using TIBCO Adapter (R) SDK(Java) with 64-bit TIBCO Runtime Agent(TM) (TRA) 5.7.x.

===================================

TIBCO Runtime Agent™ (TRA) 5.8.x

[ADDED 23-July-2013]

TIBCO Adapter for  IBM i 5.5.0 now supports TRA 5.8.x, in addition to the currently supported TRA versions listed in the product documentation. The only TRA features supported by the adapter are those included in the documentation for TIBCO Adapter for  IBM i 5.5.0.  Because TRA 5.8.x supports JRE 1.7, TIBCO Adapter for  IBM i 5.5.0 now supports JRE 1.7.

Limitations and Restrictions:

For HP Itanium, TIBCO ActiveMatrix (R) Adapter for IBM i 5.5.0 supports 64-bit TRA executable.

For Windows, TIBCO ActiveMatrix (R) Adapter for IBM i 5.5.0 supports 32-bit and 64-bit TRA executables.

For all other platforms, TIBCO ActiveMatrix (R) Adapter for IBM i 5.5.0 supports 32-bit and 64-bit TRA executables. The 32-bit adapter executable should be used with the 32-bit TRA executable and the 64-bit adapter executable should be used with the 64-bit TRA executable.


Configuration Changes:

Because DataDirect drivers are no longer shipped in TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.8.x, TIBCO Adapters should use vendor-supplied database drivers for design-time configuration and runtime implementation. Please refer to SOL1-BHBRDL for detailed configuration steps


In order to run the adapter with the 64-bit TRA package (which uses the 64-bit JVM), a workaround must be implemented. For workaround details, see SOL1-C9RZZX: How to run adapters developed using TIBCO Adapter (R) SDK(Java) with 64-bit TIBCO Runtime Agent(TM) (TRA) 5.7.x and 5.8.x
