You cannot directly open a dat file in TIBCO Designer and make modifications to the configurations. To do this, carry out the following steps:
a.
b. Then click the Convert DAT to Files icon. In the window that is displayed, browse the DAT File field and select the dat file you wish to convert to a multi-file project. Thereafter, browse the Project Directory field and select the location (other than the folder containing the dat file) where you wish to save the multi-file project and give the same name as your dat file. Click OK.
If you use a different name for the multi-file project, the value of the global variable deployment will be changed. Therefore, it is mandatory to use the same name for the multi-file project as that of the .dat file.In the Convert DAT To File-Based Project dialog, you can see the CREATE.dat file in the temp folder. Do not choose temp to save your multi-file project, as TIBCO Designer does not allow you to save a multi-file project with the same name as that of the .dat file in the same folder.You can save the multi-file project in any other folder, with the same name as that of the dat file.
2. Click the Open existing project icon from the first TIBCO Designer screen. Browse to the directory where the converted multi-file project is saved.
4. Export the multi-file project to a dat. Select Project>Export Full Project from the menu. Browse and select the location of the directory you wish to save the dat file to. Ensure that the directory is different from the multi-file project. Enter the name of the project and click OK.
