Tips and Tricks for Working With Projects
This section contains additional information on using multi-file projects.
Use ASCII project names. You must use an ASCII name for the project when saving the project from TIBCO Designer. Project names must not use the following characters: | / \ " ' : ?.
Avoid naming collision. You cannot place a multi-file project and a single-file (.dat) project into the same directory.
Place schema in the AESchemas folder. If you edit your project file in an XML editor and define schema outside the /AESchemas folder, the schema are placed in a directory called __NON__DEFAULT__SCHEMA__FOLDER__ in /tibco/public/<type> where type is the kind of object (that is, class, scalar, union, and so forth).
It is cleaner to have schema files under /AESchemas. In addition, it is required you place schema files into /AESchemas if you want to edit your project using TIBCO Designer.
Note that while editing schema files is not prohibited, you do so at your own risk.
Consider using global variable groups. Use global variable groups to allow multiple developers to work on global variables simultaneously. Each group has its own file in the multi-file project. See Working With Global Variables for more information.
Note, however, that an excessive amount of global variables (over 500) can lead to problems.
