Managing Resource Conflicts in Design-time Libraries

TIBCO Designer prevents you from creating a resource with a name identical to that used by another resource already defined in the project. If a resource in a design-time library has the same name as a pre-existing resource in the project, a conflict arises.

If there is a name conflict, the resource in the local project is always used. If there is a conflict among the design-time libraries you have loaded, you have these choices:

  • You can use the arrows on the left to reorder the libraries. Libraries are ordered according to when they were imported. The earliest imported library is at the top of the list. The library at the top of the list has precedence over those lower in the list.

  • If reordering does not resolve the conflict, you can re-build the design-time library, or create another one.

  • You cannot rename a resource in a design-time library to break a conflict.

Each resource with a conflict is marked so you can easily see them. For example, the following diagram shows a project that contains conflicting resources. You can use the menu command Resources > View Library Conflicts to find each conflicting resource.
