Channel Identifier

When a project is created in TIBCO Business Studio, presentation channels can be created for the project. Each presentation channel specifies the way in which forms that are part of the project will be presented to the user at runtime.

The Presentation Channel editor is displayed in TIBCO Business Studio by selecting Windows > Preferences > Presentation Channels.

There is only a single presentation channel defined in Workspace at this time:

  • GIGWTPull_DefaultChannel - This is the default channel for Google Web Toolkit (GWT) forms.

The application’s config.xml file contains a channelId parameter that identifies which presentation channel to use when displaying work item forms when using an instance of that application. (At this time, each instance of the application can be bound to a single presentation channel.)

By default, Workspace is configured to use GWT forms (the channelId attribute is set to GIGWTPull_DefaultChannel by default).

Procedure

  1. In the Configuration Administrator, click config.xml in the left pane.
  2. In the Graphical Editor tab, click in the Channel Identifier section:
  3. Configure the presentation channel using the following field that appears in the right pane:
    • Channel Identifier - Set to the value of the channel ID defined in TIBCO Business Studio for the presentation channel you want to use for this Workspace.

      Note that if there is no channel ID specified here, or the channel ID specified does not exist, the default presentation channel (GIGWTPull_DefaultChannel) is used.
