Saving Projects

When you save a project, you can save it as a multi-file project, or under XML Canon. This section explains how to save a multi-file project. For information about using XML Canon, see XML Canon .

When you save a multi-file project, you have these choices:

  • Project Directory — The directory that will contain the project files. Click Browse to select the directory.

Warning: TIBCO Designer will remove any files in this directory when you save the project.
  • TIBCO Message Encoding — Character Encoding used for the communication between TIBCO product components in this project at design time (debug mode), or if the project is running as a legacy local file-based project. The communication transport could be either TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO Enterprise Message Service. You have two choices:

ISO8859-1 (Latin-1) — Preferred encoding for projects that deal only with English and other Western European languages that belong to the ISO Latin-1 character set. If this encoding is used for languages that do not belong to the Latin-1 character set (such as Japanese, Arabic, etc.), data loss may result.
UTF-8 — Preferred encoding for projects dealing with languages not belonging to the Latin-1 character set. This includes most languages except for English and other western European languages.
Note: After deployment, the encoding setting of the TIBCO Administration Server will supersede this encoding. For more information, see the TIBCO Administrator Server Configuration Guide .

After you have saved a project to a repository, you can select the project’s Project Settings tab to:

  • View information about the project. The information displayed depends on how the project was saved.

  • View and change the project’s messaging encoding for the data communication among the components in this project. This is only used in design mode, or when the project is running as a legacy local file-based project.
