Creating a LibraryBuilder Resource

This section explains how to create a LibraryBuilder resource. The next section explains how to include a LibraryBuilder resource as a design-time library and use the resources in the design-time library in a process definition in another project.

The following ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process is used in the example. The process reads a text file and publishes its contents using the TIBCO Rendezvous transport. The design-time library and alias to it is created in the project that contains this example.

Creating a LibraryBuilder resource is a two step process. You first create the LibraryBuilder by naming it, then add resources from your project into it. You then create an alias for the LibraryBuilder so others can use the resource. Aliases are exported so they can be imported into other projects.

Create the LibraryBuilder Resource

Procedure 

  1. Select the top-level folder and locate the LibraryBuilder resource.

    In palette mode, this resource is in the General palette.

  2. Drag the LibraryBuilder resource into the design panel.

    The LibraryBuilder is displayed in the design panel, and the configuration panel now allows you to supply information about the library.

  3. Under the Configuration tab, provide a name for the LibraryBuilder.

  4. In the File Location field, provide the absolute path and name for the library file. The directory should be accessible to other developers.

  5. Click the Resources tab and click the browse icon to select resources to add to the LibraryBuilder. The list can be limited to resources matching a filter term entered in the Filter Name field.

  6. Click Apply. Designer saves the project.

  7. Click Build Library.
