Creating an Enterprise Archive

To create an Enterprise Archive, perform the following procedure:

Procedure 

1. In TIBCO Designer, select a folder and find the Enterprise Archive resource.

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

2. Drag an Enterprise Archive into the design panel.

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

3. Provide the following information:

Field

Description

Name

Name of the Enterprise Archive you are creating.

Description

Description of the archive content.

Author

Person creating the archive.

Archive Version

Version of the archive.

Note: The user assigns this number. TIBCO Designer does not use this number.

File Location

Location where this archive will be saved. Click Browse to select a different file location than the default.

Include all service level global variables

Includes all global variables for which you clicked the Service check box.

Note: This check box is provided for some adapters that do not properly report all their properties. TIBCO Designer cannot tell if that adapter is using a service level global variables or not. This check box explicitly forces inclusion of all service-level variables.

4. Create one or more Process Archives and add them to the Enterprise archive. This is described in Creating a Process Archive.
5. Build the archive by clicking the Build Archive button. When you click the button, TIBCO Designer creates an enterprise archive (.ear) file that you can then deploy from TIBCO Administrator.
