Cross-Resource References
The TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition workspace acts as a container for resources such as projects, folders, and files, each of which corresponds to a directory or file in the operating system’s underlying file system.
Workspace files can contain models (such as forms or business object models), which are comprised of model elements (such as panes and controls or classes and properties).
A form can refer to model elements in other resources in the workspace, for example:
- A user task or its parameters
- A business object model class or its properties
- An embedded form or its parameters
These references are often many-to-many, with one form referencing many external model elements and resources, each of which could potentially be referenced from multiple forms, business object models, processes and so on. These external references are known as cross-resource references.
Since the referenced model elements reside in independently modifiable files such references are susceptible to breakage if proper working procedures are not observed. When breakages are detected, unresolved reference problem markers are created on the referencing forms.
