Tips and Tricks for Working With Projects
This section contains additional information on using multi-file projects.
-
Use ASCII project names. You must use an ASCII name for the project when saving the project from TIBCO Designer. Project names must not use the following characters: | / \ " ' : ?.
-
Avoid naming collision. You cannot place a multi-file project and a single-file (
.dat
) project into the same directory. -
Place schema in the AESchemas folder. If you edit your project file in an XML editor and define schema outside the
/AESchemas
folder, the schema are placed in a directory called__NON__DEFAULT__SCHEMA__FOLDER__
in/tibco/public/<type>
where type is the kind of object (that is, class, scalar, union, and so forth).It is cleaner to have schema files under
/AESchemas
. In addition, it is required you place schema files into/AESchemas
if you wish to edit your project using TIBCO Designer.Note that while editing schema files is not prohibited, you do so at your own risk.
-
Consider using global variable groups. Use global variable groups to allow multiple developers to work on global variables simultaneously. Each group has its own file in the multi-file project. For more information, see Global Variables.
Note, however, that an excessive amount of global variables (over 500) can lead to problems.
