Chapter 26 Deploytime Configuration : Customizing the List of Properties on the Advanced Tab

Customizing the List of Properties on the Advanced Tab
You can customize the list of engine properties that is available in TIBCO Administrator for deploytime configuration. These properties appear in the Advanced tab for the merged BAR file.
To view the properties, expand Application Management > application_name > Configuration > application_name.bar, and then click the Advanced tab.
To make engine properties available for deploytime configuration in TIBCO Administrator, you add a new <property> element in the be-engine.xml file. You can also modify and delete elements.
Default values set in the be-engine.xml file (and values manually set in TIBCO Administrator) override values set in the be-engine.tra file.
The properties you add to be-engine.xml are available in TIBCO Administrator for all new BusinessEvents projects. To make the be-engine.xml properties available for existing projects, you must first regenerate their EAR files in TIBCO Designer and reload the project EARs in TIBCO Administrator.

Use the <property> element in the be-engine.xml file to add properties. The <property> element has the following structure:
<property>
   <name>name of property</name>
   <default>default value</default>
   <description>short description of property</description>
</property>
For example, to include the be.trace.enable property in a deployment configuration, add the following element to the be-engine.xml file:
<property>
   <name>be.trace.enable</name>
   <default>true</default>
   <description>Global switch for tracing</description>
</property>
