Configuring the Tester

Before running the tester, it must be configured.

Prerequisites

To launch the application in debug perspective, make sure that:

  • TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is running.
  • TIBCO Host runtime is running and the application is successfully deployed.

Procedure

  1. Click Run > Debug Configurations... from the TIBCO Business Studio toolbar.
    Note: Alternatively, you can click the button and select the Debug Configurations.. command.

    The Debug Configurations dialog is displayed.

  2. Right-click the TIBCO Process Engine configuration type, and select New.

    The following dialog to configure TIBCO Process Engine appears.

  3. Enter the connection details required by the TIBCO Process Engine (as described below or supplied by your administrator).
    • Name— type BPMNode_configuration.
    • In the Available Engines field under Server Process Engine, use the Add button to select the Process Engine you require. You can select multiple engines at the same time, so you can run both BPM and Pageflow.
    • Type— select the type of BPM or Pageflow depending on whether you are debugging a business process or a pageflow. In this tutorial you should select BPM.
    • Host Name—type the IP address of the machine on which the application is deployed and running. You can use the Browse button to locate it.
    • Protocol—Select http as protocol. If you have installed BPM runtime with SSL, select https.
      Note: To use HTTPS protocol, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) must be configured for TIBCO Business Studio’s JVM before launching TIBCO Business Studio.

      To configure the SSL, download the trusted certificate file from the server runtime and import it to the keystore using Java’s keytool utility.

      The trusted certificates are a collection of certificates from servers to whom you will establish connections. If the server you wish to establish a connection presents a certificate that does not match one of your trusted certificates, the connection is refused.

    • Port—Type 8080, the port number specified when you deployed the process.
    • User Name—Type a user name - for example tibco-admin.
    • Password—Type the password, for example secret.
  4. Click TestConnect to verify the engine connection parameters. The Connection Successful dialog is displayed if the parameter values are valid.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click Apply.
  7. Click Debug.

    Runtime Behavior

    The tester connects to the TIBCO Process Engine and starts a new debug session.

    Note: The tester does not deploy the process on the engine. The application that contains the process being debugged, and which is running, has already been deployed. See step 9 in Understanding the Process .
