Installation changes in 10.15.0
Software AG Installer
Apama 10.15.0 introduces several new installation nodes in the Software AG Installer. These contain content that was previously part of the Apama > Server node. This allows customers to better tailor installations to only the content that they need. A brief summary of the new nodes is given below. You can find more details in Running the Software AG Installer. If you are scripting installations of Apama, you may need to regenerate your script file to include the new components.
The new nodes below the Apama product node are:
*Software AG Suite Integration - Integration with other products in the Software AG suite and with JMS.
*Dashboard Servers - The Apama dashboard servers and command line tools
*IAF & Adapters - The Apama standalone adapter framework and associated adapters, including ADBC.
*Cumulocity IoT Integration - Integration with the Cumulocity IoT platform.
Docker images
Apama 10.15.0 introduces several new container images provided via Docker Hub and some of the existing container images have changed content. The new set of images is as follows:
Image name
Purpose
Change since 10.11
softwareag/apama-correlator
Image for the correlator, including support for Java and Python. Does not contain connectivity to other Software AG products.
Removed connectivity to Software AG products, including Cumulocity IoT.
softwareag/apama-correlator-minimal
Smallest image for the correlator, aimed at pure-Apama use cases. Does not contain Java or Python support, or connectivity to other Software AG products.
New image.
softwareag/apama-builder
Project build and test tools for deploying and testing projects to be used with the apama-correlator and apama-minimal images in a multi-stage Docker build.
Removed connectivity to Software AG products, including Cumulocity IoT.
softwareag/apama-correlator-suite
Image for the correlator, containing support for Java, Python, and connectivity to the rest of the Software AG product suite and JMS.
Closest equivalent to softwareag/apama-correlator in 10.11.
softwareag/apama-builder-suite
Project build and test tools (including Apache Ant) for deploying and testing projects to be used with the apama-correlator-suite image in a multi-stage Docker build.
Closest equivalent to softwareag/apama-builder in 10.11.
softwareag/apama-cumulocity-jre
Base image for custom Cumulocity IoT microservices, containing the correlator and connectivity to Cumulocity IoT.
Added Python support.
softwareag/apama-cumulocity-builder
Project build and test tools for deploying and testing projects to be used with the apama-cumulocity-jre image in a multi-stage Docker build.
New image.
Users may need to change the image that is included in their Dockerfile with a FROM line or a --build-arg override when building their project files.
The default Dockerfile that is added to projects through Software AG Designer builds with the softwareag/apama-builder and softwareag/apama-correlator images. If you need connectivity to any Software AG components, JMS or Cumulocity IoT, then you must select the appropriate image instead.
For more details, see Deploying Apama Applications with Docker or the image pages on Docker Hub, for example, https://hub.docker.com/r/softwareag/apama-correlator.
Apama Community Edition
The core edition of the Apama Community Edition in 10.15.0 no longer contains connectivity to JMS or to Software AG Suite products such as Terracotta via the Distributed Memory Store or Universal Messaging. Connectivity to Cumulocity IoT has been moved to a separate bundle available alongside the core edition.
If you need any of the functionality that has been removed, install using either the full version of the Community Edition installer or the official Software AG Installer.
Support lifetimes
With Apama 10.15.0, the support lifetimes for the components for connectivity to Cumulocity IoT, and the Apama Docker images with that connectivity, have been aligned with the Cumulocity IoT support schedule.
