tibco.env.FTL_HOME= to tibco.env.FTL_HOME=<absolute_path_to_TIBCO_FTL_installation>

To use TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio for configuring the cluster or starting the TIBCO BusinessEvents engine, open the studio.tra file available at BE_HOME\studio\eclipse\configuration and update the variable tibco.env.FTL_HOME= to tibco.env.FTL_HOME=<absolute_path_to_TIBCO_FTL_installation>.
In the TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio, open the CDD file for editing.
