Importing the Initial Resources

It is good practice to use a separate organization model rather than to include the model within the same project as your business processes.

In this procedure you will import an existing project to use as the basis for this tutorial. The WelcomeUsers project includes a business process and a business service (called RequestCall). A business service is a type of pageflow, which is used to collect information and can be used as a mechanism to start off a business process.

You will also import an organization model in another project.

Note: If you are continuing this tutorial directly from a previous one, you have already started TIBCO Business Studio, and the WelcomeUsers project may already be open. If so, skip the first two steps of this procedure.

Procedure

  1. Start Studio for Designers.
    Note: Following this tutorial will be simpler and clearer if you close any other projects that you may have open in your TIBCO Business Studio workspace, using the Project > Close Project menu option.
  2. If the WelcomeUsers project is not open, import the solution from the tutorial How to Implement and Deploy the WelcomeUsers Application. Find the WelcomeUsersImplementSolution.zip file in the location where you installed TIBCO Business Studio (for example, <STUDIO_HOME > \studio\3.n\samples).
  3. In TIBCO Business Studio, select File > Import.
  4. The Import wizard is displayed. Select General > Existing Studio Projects into Workspace and click Next.
  5. Click Select archive file, and click on the Browse button.
  6. Browse to WelcomeUsersImplementSolution.zip and click Open. The WelcomeUsersImplementSolution project is displayed in the Import wizard.
  7. Click Finish. The WelcomeUsersImplementSolution project is installed in your workspace
  8. In Project Explorer, expand the WelcomeUsers project.
    Note: If you are continuing from previous work with the WelcomeUsers tutorials, the project will be called WelcomeUsers. If you have imported it, you will be using a project called WelcomeUsersSolution. It will be referred to simply as WelcomeUsers for the rest of this tutorial.
  9. Delete the Organization Model in the WelcomeUsers project by right-clicking on Organization and selecting Delete. You will be asked if you want to delete Organization from the file system. Click OK to confirm.
  10. Select Project > Clean.... In the Clean dialog, select the WelcomeUsers project, and press OK.

    This ensures that the output file for the deleted organization model, which is normally hidden, is also deleted.

  11. Import the EasyAsExtendedOMSolution project, following the instructions above, and expand the organization model.
