Diagrams

TIBCO BusinessEvents provides several kinds of diagrams, which are visualization tools that help you understand and analyze even very large and complex projects.

Note: The diagrams in TIBCO BusinessEvents are based on Unified Modeling Language (UML), but are not completely compliant to UML.

Using the diagrams you can show or hide details. You can open editors for any project component in a diagram. You can also create snapshot images of diagrams to share project information with other personnel.

The main types of diagrams, and the project elements that use them, are as follows:

Selected Entity Project diagrams
These diagrams display all the selected project resources, and how they interact with one another. External resources such as XSD and WSDL files are not shown. You can either create a project diagram for an entire project, or only for the selected resources of a project. You can also choose to run the project analyzer while creating a project diagram, which analyzes the project resources and gives a report in the Problems view.
Dependency diagrams
These diagrams show the relationships between the selected project resource and its dependent resources. They are available for channels, concepts, state models, scorecards, events (all types except advisory events), rule functions, and rules.
Sequence diagrams
These diagrams show how project resources are called into use at run time. They are available for events (all types except advisory events), rule functions, and rules.
Concept model diagrams
These diagrams show the concept model for a project. You can view a model diagram for all the concepts in a project.
Event model diagrams
These diagrams show the event model for a project. You can view a model diagram for all the events in a project, except for advisory events.
Note:
Add-on Products
State model diagrams are available in the TIBCO BusinessEvents Data Modeling add-on. Metrics are available in the TIBCO BusinessEvents Views add-on. For metrics, you can view a dependency diagram only by right-clicking in Project View. See the add-on product documentation for more details
