Work Data Models

A Work Data Model is an artifact that you can export from a TIBCO Business Studio project. It contains XML data definitions that a custom client application may need to enable it to handle XML data generated from user activities defined in the project processes (for work items, pageflow pages or business service pages).

The client application cannot access this information programmatically.

The files included in a Work Data Model are:

File Description
bomName.xsd Contains the generated XML schema for the bomName business object model. There will be a bomName.xsd file for:
  • each business object model defined in the project.
  • each business object model defined in a referenced project (whether or not data is referenced from that business object model).

    You will need this information to handle a work item, pageflow or business service that uses any data fields or formal parameters that are defined (by external reference) as types in these schemas. See Handling a Work Item That Contains Business Data for more information.

wt.xml Contains the XML data structures of all work types used in the project. (Each user activity in a business process has a work type associated with it. A work type defines the interface - input, output and inout parameters - to a work item.)

You will need this information to display a work item using a custom form. See Using Custom Forms for more information.

pfActivityType.xml Contains the XML data structure for each user activity in a pageflow process (or business service) in the project.

You will need this information to display a page (for a pageflow or business service) using a custom form. See Using Custom Forms for more information.

wm.xml Contains the XML data structures of all work models used in the project. Currently you do not need this information.
