Business Object Model Data Types

Pre-version 5.x TIBCO BPM Enterprise uses JavaScript representation for business object model data types.

You can use the problem markers to help you fix any issues with your data type fields.

  • Some BOM primitive types are no longer supported: Attachment, DateTime, Duration, ID, Integer, Object. Any references to these types causes problem markers.
  • For simple type fields, the generic Object type is no longer supported for attributes. In JSON, use a text attribute and place your escaped JSON in the text attribute instead. In other words, this replaces XSD:any.
  • Integers are now shown as a fixed point number with zero decimal places. Any integer types are automatically converted on import.
  • There are two types of number:
    • Number.
    • Fixed point number.

    Both number types are implemented as JavaScript Numbers with extension functions to help with various interactions. Fixed point numbers allow you to specify a fixed number of decimal places and values assigned to these are rounded appropriately.

  • Sub-packages are no longer supported. If your business object model has sub-packages, you must move all your classes up to the top-level package.
  • For other restrictions, use the problem markers to help you reach a solution.
