Creating a Project Package and Process

You can create a new TIBCO Business Studio project, package and process are part of the same procedure using a template.

Note:
  • If you have processes that you created using previous versions of TIBCO Business Studio, you must migrate them to the current version as described in Migration of Projects Created in Previous Versions.
  • This topic describes how to create a project, and at the same time create a package and process using a template. You can however, perform each operation separately.
    Procedure
  1. Go toFile > New > BPM Process Project.
  2. Complete the New BPM Process Project dialog box as follows:
    Field Description
    Project name Enter a descriptive name for the project.
    Location Either accept the default location for the project (your workspace) or de-select the Use default location check box and click Browse to select a different location.

    Click Finish on this dialog box (or on any of the subsequent dialog boxes) to create a project with the settings you have made to that point. Click Next to modify the default project settings and create a process using a template.

  3. In the Business Processes dialog box, enter the name of the folder that you want to designate for Business Processes.

    Under Package Details, you can accept the preselected check box and either enter a file name or accept the default file name.

    By default, when you create a project, TIBCO Business Studio creates a package and process as well. The default packages Folder is called Process Packages and the default packages file is ProcessPackage.xpdl. Either accept the default names or rename the packages file and folder. Click Finish if you are done, or Next to specify more options.

  4. The Package Information dialog box is displayed. Either accept the default properties of the package, or modify them as necessary and click Finish if you are done, or Next to specify more options.
    Package Label
     Descriptive label for the package. Defaults to the same name as the file name of the package and is used for purposes such as simulation reports.
    Author
     Username of the user who created the package.
    Note: The name of the author can be defined in the User Name: field on Window > Preferences > User Profile. If no user is defined there, it uses the default user system property.
    Created
    Displays the date/time that the package was created.
    Description
     Text description of the package.
    Documentation Location
     URL or file name of any supporting documentation.
    Language
     Provides context for user-visible language in processes. For example, annotations in a process might be in a language or character set unfamiliar to the user of the process. Use this field to specify the language used. Note that this field is informational; it does not change any system or TIBCO Business Studio-specific language settings.
  5. The Select Template dialog box allows you to create a process using a template. Select a template from those available and click Finish if you are done, or Next to specify more options.
  6. The Set Special Folders dialog box displays the default special folders. Either accept the default names or enter your own names and click Finish.

    The newly-created package, process, and project are displayed in the Project Explorer. For more information about the Project Explorer, see Project Explorer View.
