BOM Native Types

A number of BOM Native Types are supported by BOM Editor.

  • Boolean
  • Date
  • Date Time and Time Zone
  • Fixed point number. A fixed point number allows you to specify the number of decimal places. This is defined in TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition.
  • Floating point number. A floating point number does not allow you to define decimal places.

    Both number native types have additional methods like add/subtract/multiply/divide. TIBCO recommends that wherever arithmetic precision is important (for example, financial calculations) these operations are used instead of +/-/*/ / operators. See Working with Numeric Types.

  • Text
  • Time
  • URI

Using Business Object Modeler, these BOM Native Types can be used to generate Primitive Types that have some application-specific restrictions, for example, a range must match.
