TIBCO Business Studio™ - BPM Edition 5.4.0

# Using Live Development

Use Live Development when you want to make quick changes to your project, and test the results immediately without having to redeploy an entire project. This is especially relevant to Forms development, where small changes require a rapid turnaround for retesting.

Procedure
1. Deploy the entire TIBCO BPM Enterprise application using Deployment Manager (if not already deployed).

   See "Deployment Manager" in TIBCO BPM Enterprise Administration.

2. Switch to the BPM Live Dev perspective (select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > BPM Live Dev in the top right of the pane).
3. Edit the information in Work Manager View Connection for Work Manager/Client Base URL. Replace the <domain> element with your own Work Manager URL domain.

4. Click to open the TIBCO BPM Enterprise Work Manager in Live Dev mode in a browser window.
5. Provide the login credentials to the Work Manager, if prompted.
6. Click Business Service, Work Views, or Case Manager depending on the form that you are developing.
7. Start a process and proceed until the required work item arrives (or start a business service and progress to the appropriate form). In case it is a case action form, click on the case action.
8. Access a form on opening a work item/business service/case action. The form from your design-time workspace is used instead of the deployed form.
9. Iteratively:
   Test the form.
   Edit the form in the local workspace and click Save.
   Either use the Refresh button provided on the form which reloads the form with the latest changes without the need to re-open it or restart the pageflow for instance, or close the work item or business service in Work Manager or browser. A Cancel button is also provided on the form in cases where Form loading fails. The Cancel button cancels the form if the form fails to load.
   Reopen the work item / business service in Work Manager on the browser.

   The process flow works as normal and you can complete/edit data in the same way as in normal Work Manager.

   Note: The browser tab continues to use the Live Dev mode, even after the window refresh, until the tab is closed.
