Using Module Properties

When you configure a project, you can use module properties. Module properties provide an easy way to set default values for use throughout your project. You can use the variable substitution mechanism to replace the input values in a project with the values of predefined module properties.

A number of module properties are predefined in TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Database (TIBCO Business Studio). For details, see Predefined Module Properties.

Note: Module properties used in the adapter are called Global Variables when you use TIBCO Designer with TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x.

To use the module properties in any of the resource fields, enter the property name surrounded by %% on both sides. For example, you must enter %%UserName%% in the User Name field to use the UserName property.

  • Configuring Module Properties
    You can add, specify, and group module properties by using the Module Properties editor in TIBCO Business Studio.
  • Defining a Module Property with a Combined Value
    You can define a module property with a combined value of other module properties and some literal value. But this type of definition is only supported in an adapter configuration, not in a BusinessWorks process.
  • Predefined Module Properties
    TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Database (TIBCO Business Studio) contains predefined module properties. Some module properties are automatically used within the system when an adapter configuration is defined.
