Most Runtime Properties are Configured in the CDD File

3.x Configuration

In 3.x (and earlier), runtime properties were set using individual properties set in one or more TRA files. In some cases, runtime properties were set in TIBCO Designer, specifically in the BAR resource, and some were set in the TIBCO Designer TRA file.

5.2 Configuration

Now only JVM-level properties (those that need to be used before the engine starts up) are set in the be-engine.tra file. Properties that were set in the TIBCO Designer TRA file (designer.tra) are now generally set in the studio.tra file:

BE_HOME/studio/eclipse/configuration/studio.tra

Other runtime properties are configured in the CDD file. The CDD file provides fields for all commonly used settings, and it has property sheets where you can add other properties as needed. The property sheets are available at various levels, cluster, processing unit, and agent, so that you can scope the effect of the property appropriately and provide overrides at lower levels.
