Azure Service Bus Connector Release Notes

Support Category: Select

Anypoint Connector for Azure Service Bus (Azure Service Bus Connector) makes it easy to build integrations that send messages to and receive messages from Azure Service Bus, which is an asynchronous messaging cloud platform. This connector supports communication with queues and topics and can perform actions such as:

  • Send to queue

  • Send to topic

  • Receive from queue

  • Receive from subscription

Guide: Azure Service Bus Connector User Guide

3.6.0

January 9, 2026

What’s New

  • The connector now uses the azure-identity library for authentication, replacing manual token handling. This provides built-in token caching and automatic refresh.

  • The Message Listener source now supports the new Enable Auto Lock Renewal field. Use this field to specify whether the source should automatically renew message locks, preventing lock expiration during long-running message processing.

  • The connector now uses the built-in Azure Service Bus exponential backoff mode for its retry behavior. This replaces custom retry logic with a standardized approach that automatically increases wait times between attempts, providing better connection stability during service interruptions or high-load periods.

  • The Minimum Retry Backoff field for the Shared Access Signature and Azure Active Directory connection types is now set to a default of 1 second. This must be a positive integer and setting it to zero results in ineffective retry behavior.

  • The Increased Wait On Server Busy and Increased Wait On Server Busy Time Unit fields are deprecated and no longer supported for Shared Access Signature and Azure Active Directory connection types. These behaviors are now fully managed by the Azure Service Bus Java SDK.

  • The new Azure Service Bus Java SDK v7.17.16 produces more detailed background logs. To keep your application logs clean, add <AsyncLogger name="com.azure.core.amqp" level="ERROR"/> to your log4j2.xml configuration to suppress excessive AMQP debug information.
