Using Custom Drivers

The following is a procedure about how to use the custom drivers.

    Procedure
  1. Right-click an application module and navigate to Export-- > Plug-in Development > deployable Plug-ins and fragments, and then export this in a directory.
    This generates an OSGi jar (bundle), which is required to execute the application in TIBCO Cloud™ Integration.
  2. Generate the OSGi jar custom driver file.
  3. Create a .zip called driver.zip, and place the OSGi jar file created in the Step 2 into it. You can also place multiple custom driver.jar files inside the main driver.zip artifact.
  4. Execute the tibcli bwplugin supplement customdriver command using tibcli client.
  5. Deploy the application, which uses this custom driver.
    Note:
    • Ensure that you create an EAR from the project that is using the custom driver.
    • To add more custom drivers after initially supplementing one variant, add the new jar files in the main driver.zip file without deleting the older jar files, and execute the command given in the Step 4.
    • You can also use the Web UI for supplements. For more information, see Supplementing Plug-ins and Connectors.
