BPM Live Dev Preferences

The following preferences are applicable to BPM Live Dev:

  • Local host (Live Dev): By default, the host name of the machine hosting the local TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition instance is selected. It lists all the DNS host names configured on the local machine, which can be passed to the remote server. You can also refresh the list of DNS host names using the Refresh button next to the list.

    This host address is passed to TIBCO BPM Enterprise Work Manager and must be resolvable and reachable from the computer that hosts the TIBCO BPM Enterprise Work Manager server. By default, TIBCO BPM Enterprise Work Manager connects to TIBCO Business Studio through the local loop-back interface to the host localhost/127.0.0.1. If TIBCO BPM Enterprise Work Manager is hosted remotely, virtually or both, you must set the local host to an address that is resolvable and reachable from the TIBCO BPM Enterprise Work Manager server. If the network configuration of the local machine is multi-homed, the list contains all the host names and IP addresses from those network interfaces through which the configured TIBCO BPM Enterprise Work Manager host is reachable. To support a remote TIBCO BPM Enterprise Work Manager server, the firewall of the local computer must accept incoming HTTP connections on the configured preview port.

  • Channel Type - The default channel is used.
  • Logging Level - By default, no logging is done for BPM Live Dev. You can specify any of the following logging levels:
    • None

    • Trace
