Renaming Moving Deleting and Copy-Pasting Elements
Changes that affect the structure of a project, but not its behavior, are known as project refactoring changes. Refactoring ensures that the project structure remains self-consistent.
Copy-paste operations are not strictly speaking refactoring operations. However, some refactoring is also done to support these operations, so they are included here.
Moving, renaming, deleting, or copy-pasting project elements are changes that often affect other parts of a TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio project. Names of elements, element properties, and element locations, are referenced in various parts of a project such as rules, rule functions, and concept relationship properties.
When you make changes to a project element, all references to that element must be updated accordingly. The refactoring wizard has a preview page that enables you to review all these changes (see Working with the Preview Page).
This section explains the refactoring procedures. See Automatic Refactoring Actions and Limitations to understand what TIBCO BusinessEvents does for each type of refactoring operation.
Updating All References
To ensure the integrity of the project, ensure that you make all changes to all locations where a renamed or moved items is referenced. Disable such changes only if you are certain there are no references to the element, or there are unusual circumstances that justify such action.
Project Level Actions
You can rename a project (select
) and you can copy and paste a project. However, you cannot move a project.
