Working with a Multi-File Format Project

The multi-file format creates one ActiveEnterprise XML file for each logical object, such as an adapter instance, a set of related ActiveEnterprise classes, or a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process, that occurs in the repository instance. This kind of project is referred to as a multi-file project.

You can check multi-file projects into a version control system, and a project can contain more than one adapter configuration. A number of people can work on the same project at the same time, with different people working on each adapter configuration: a developer can check out the specific file corresponding to an object that has to be changed, update the file, and check it back in. TIBCO Designer accesses the local synchronized copies of the files on the developer’s hard drive.
