Creating or Obtaining a Project for BPM

You can create a project for use with BPM, either creating a new project, or importing an existing project.

You can select several default projects when creating a new project. When creating a project for use with BPM, TIBCO recommend that you select either an Analysis or BPM Developer project. The Analysis and BPM Developer projects are each created with different combinations of assets. However, you can add new assets to an existing project whenever required, see Adding New Assets to an Existing Project. The following table describes the Analysis and BPM Developer projects:

Project Default Assets Description
Analysis The following assets are created by default:
  • Business Assets
  • Business Processes
  • Forms
  • Business Object Model
  • Organization Model
  • Task Libraries
Select this project if you want to describe the business and its process, or an aspect of them, using business terminology. This may be useful if, for example, you want to create a project that contains plain English indications of what a script is intended to achieve, rather than JavaScript. See the TIBCO Business Studio Modeling User’s Guide for a description of using an analysis project to model a business.
BPM Developer The following assets are created by default:
  • Business Processes
  • Forms
Select this project if you want to create a new project from the start without using an explicit analysis stage. See Creating a Project Using the BPM Developer Project Wizard for details of creating a BPM Developer project.

You can create a new project from the File > New menu option.
