Calendar References
In TIBCO Business Studio, you can assign a calendar reference to a business process, or a timer event within a process.
A calendar reference links the process or event to the appropriate calendars that should be used to calculate the duration and deadline for that object. A calendar reference consists of either:
- a calendar alias (free text that identifies a calendar), enabling a user to map the reference to the most appropriate base or overlay calendar, using the Calendar gadget in Openspace, or
- a reference to a process data field that will provide the calendar alias at runtime.
In TIBCO Openspace, calendar references (also called calendar aliases in Openspace) are used to map calendars to organizational entities. In the Calendar gadget in TIBCO Openspace, you can create a calendar reference that maps to the base or overlay calendar that you want to use. You can then map the calendar reference to an organizational entity. This associates the calendar represented by that reference with the organizational entity, and as such the calendar can be used in calculating deadlines.
See "Using the Calendar Gadget" in the TIBCO Openspace User’s Guide for more information.
