Deprecated technologies, features, or platforms in 8.1.00

The following features or platforms are deprecated in 8.1.00 and while currently supported, will be removed from a future release. See System-requirements-and-product-compatibility for full details.

  • Solaris x86 and Solaris SPARC  
  • BMC EUEM Integration (only supported with EUEM 2.7)
  • TIBCO Rendezvous

The Solaris JREs available for distribution in TMTM bootstrap agent packages use an Oracle Java 8 JRE. BMC will not be providing updates for those JREs going forward. 

For future updates on Solaris SPARC or X86 you must either provide your own Oracle JRE or use a JRE provided by one of the technologies being monitored. 

As such, the Solaris SPARC and x86 platforms are being deprecated for possible removal in a future release. If you are using either of these platforms contact BMC Support so we can determine when and if either of these platforms should be removed in a future release.

Deprecated technologies, features, or platforms in 8.0.00

Additionally, the following features or platforms were also deprecated in 8.0.0x and while currently supported, will be removed from a future release. See System-requirements-and-product-compatibility for full details.

Middleware Monitor

  • TPF as a monitored platform. Note that the Configuration Manager has been removed in 8.1.00. Monitoring selection of IBM MQ objects supported by TPF must use the bulk monitoring selection dialog within the Monitor Console. See Registering and un-registering multiple objects for monitoring. Other mechanisms for selecting objects for monitoring such as the repomgr tool, policy actions, or other Monitor Console menu items are not supported for TPF.
  • Oracle WebLogic Monitor

Other

  • Concrete History and Event Rules – you should use Event and History Templates instead.
