Before you Create a Project

Before you can create a specific project, you need to create an empty project using TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio.

Learning Points

TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio is the Eclipse-based user interface for TIBCO BusinessEvents. It enables you to build, test, and debug projects. Use of this industry-standard development framework shortens your learning curve and enables you to take advantage of common tools and facilities.

TIBCO BusinessEvents has these Eclipse perspectives:

  • TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Debug
  • TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Development
  • TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Diagram

TIBCO BusinessEvents switches perspectives transparently, depending on the editor you are working with.

In the lower part of the user interface are various tabs used as needed:

Tab Description

Console
The Console view displays and logs the errors resulting from improper execution of the TIBCO BusinessEvents engine.

Problems
The Problems view reports all validation errors in the project, including language validation errors, access control errors, and so on. It also displays messages relating to project analyzer. Double-click a problem entry to open the associated editor. See Analyzing and Validating the Project for more details.

Error Log
The Error Log view captures all the warnings and errors logged by Eclipse plug-ins. The log file itself has the extension .log file and it is stored in the .metadata subdirectory of the workspace.

Properties
The Properties view shows metadata about a resource. To view the metadata, click the resource in TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Explorer. Not all resources use this tab.

Terminal
Using the Terminal view you can perform command-line operation (such as, studio-tools) from within BusinessEvents Studio. The terminal also provides shell access to remote systems from within BusinessEvents Studio.

When you create a new project a set of folders is created. You can use a different folder structure to organize your project components in any way you like. Example projects are kept simple and use provided folder names such as Concepts, Events, Rules. More complex projects might use a different folder hierarchy with names that relate to the purpose or contents of the folders
