Creating an Application Property

You create new application properties in the Properties page of an application in TIBCO Business Studio™ for BusinessWorks™. The application properties editor can also be used to create and manage custom profiles. You can also promote a module property to be an application property.

The application properties editor can be used to create and manage new application profiles. You can add a new application property to a profile, rename a profile, and also delete a profile. Application profiles can also be exported from an application, and used in a different application. Similarly, exported profiles can be imported into a different application.

Follow these steps to create a new application property:

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer, fully expand <application_name>.application.
  2. Double-click Properties under Package Unit to open the application properties in the right pane.
  3. Click Application in the Properties column and click New Property.
    A new property gets created under Application.
  4. Click the property name to edit it.
  5. Click the corresponding default profile column (the default column is indicated with [ ] around it) or another profile column in case you have multiple profiles set up for the property to enter a value for the property.
    For more information about setting an application profile as a default profile, see "Setting the Default Application Profile" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Samples guide.
  6. Save your application.
    Important: Be sure to map a module property to the newly created application property. Keep in mind that an application property can only be used when mapped to a module property.
    For information on creating profiles see Creating an Application with Multiple Profiles.
    When a property value is same across all profiles, and you want to keep the property values consistent across all profiles after updating a value for any one profile, select the Sync Values check box .

    For more information about editing application properties using bwadmin command line utility or by using Admin UI, see "Editing Application and Application Instance Properties" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Administration guide.
