Prerequisites


Before starting the configuration exercise, ensure that all required software has been installed and is operating correctly. For a list of required software, see the installation instructions in Chapter 2, Installation.

You should know how to drag and drop icons in TIBCO Designer and be familiar with saving projects. If you are not familiar with these topics, refer to the TIBCO Designer User’s Guide, which is available by clicking Help>Designer Help in TIBCO Designer.

Overview

This exercise assumes that you will use sample as the name of the dat file, and also assumes that you will export sample.dat to the directory C:\tibco\adapter\adcom\5.3\examples. If you export it to a different directory, you must update the path in the testinterceptor.dsw and rebuild your COM client before you import the metadata into the project file.

TIBCO Adapter for COM ships with a local repository sample.dat in the <Install_dir>\examples directory. The sample.dat repository has predefined session and logging information, and two sample instances, one for an interceptor component (TIBCOCOMInterceptor1) and the other for a service component (TIBCOCOMService1). Therefore, it is recommended that you rename sample.dat to prevent it from being overwritten.

Permissions to Access Repository Server

If your site is using TIBCO Administrator to set access control to the repository server, you must have the account name and password available that is used by the adapter to log into the server.

Other Examples

A set of examples are included online in the examples\TEAKExamples directory. For more information, see the TIBCO Adapter for COM Examples Guide. Additionally, a set of demos are provided in the examples\Demos directory. For more information, see Demonstration Applications. Also, for information on .NET examples, see Interoperability with Microsoft .NET Components.
