Step 2: Setting up the Design-Time Adapter
The TIBCO Designer GUI allows you to connect with the source or target application for the adapter at design time using a design-time adapter. After you have established design-time connection parameters, you can use the TIBCO Designer GUI to specify schema information from the adapter.
