Channel Identifier

When a project is created in TIBCO Business Studio, presentation channels can be created for the project. Each presentation channel specifies the way in which forms that are part of the project will be presented to the user at runtime.

The Presentation Channel editor is displayed in TIBCO Business Studio by selecting Windows > Preferences > Presentation Channels.

There is only a single presentation channel defined in Workspace at this time:

  • GIGWTPull_DefaultChannel - This is the default channel for Google Web Toolkit (GWT) forms.

The application’s config.xml file contains a channelId parameter that identifies which presentation channel to use when displaying work item forms when using an instance of that application. (At this time, each instance of the application can be bound to a single presentation channel.)

By default, Workspace is configured to use GWT forms (the channelId attribute is set to GIGWTPull_DefaultChannel by default).

Procedure

  1. Open the config.xml file.
  2. Locate the ChannelIdentifier record in the config.xml file. For example: 
    <record jsxid="ChannelIdentifier" channelId="GIGWTPull_DefaultChannel"/>
  3. Set the channelId attribute to the value of the channelId defined in TIBCO Business Studio for the presentation channel you want to use for this Workspace.

    Note that if there is no channelId specified here, or the channelId specified does not exist, the default presentation channel (GIGWTPull_DefaultChannel) is used.

  4. Save and close the config.xml file.
