TIBCO Business Studio supports the full project life cycle, bringing together all artifacts in a single place. The project is the container for these artifacts. As such, projects help to facilitate sharing and organization of resources.
major Incremented when the new version is incompatible with the previous version. Note that all references within a project to an organization model must be to the same
major version of the model.
minor Indicates a compatible revision.
micro Indicates an internal change.
qualifier Used to identify unique builds may use time format or other convention.
A package is a mandatory container for processes and their infrastructure (such as
participants and
data fields). The package and any processes stored in it are saved in XPDL format.
Some objects such as business assets can be shared at the project level. Others such as
data fields and
participants can be created at either the package level (where they can be shared amongst processes in that package), or at the individual process level (where they can only be used by that process).
A pageflow process is a short-lived process designed to present user interface pages to the user in sequence. They are always executed by one person (the person that initiates the process instance).
All tasks that are available in a business process are available within a pageflow process with the exception of a business process user task. Pageflow processes have a special variant of a business process user task that does not have participants, and does not generate work items. These are referred to as
pageflow user tasks.
A pageflow process is stored under the Processes branch of the Project Explorer alongside business processes.
A process interface specifies the events and their parameters that must be present in processes created using that interface. At runtime, any of the processes that implement the interface may be chosen based on data available at that time.
Process components represent reusable building blocks that encapsulate the management of a particular item in a business process. The process components form a reusable library that you can call upon in different contexts.
