Preface : Changes from the Previous Release of this Guide

Changes from the Previous Release of this Guide
This section itemizes the major changes from the previous release of this guide.
Quick Fix Feature
In the rule editor you can now create code that references entities and properties that do not yet exist. Clicking a new lightbulb icon on the left displays one or more links to appropriate wizards or dialogs where you can create the entity or rule function or property. See Using the Quick Fix Feature in the Rule Editor.
In addition a Quick Fix feature works in the problems view. See Validating a Project or Project Resource.
Metadata Properties for Backing Store Now in CDD File
Documentation of metadata properties is updated. Metadata properties in entity resources are now disabled except for database concepts (in the TIBCO BusinessEvents Data Modeling add-on). Backing store metadata properties are now configured in the CDD file, as documented in TIBCO BusinessEvents Administration. Notes stating that metadata properties can be added for customization only are present in Adding a Simple Event, Adding Concepts and Concept Relationships, and Understanding and Working With Scorecards. Reference topics also mention that metadata properties are not to be used (Simple Event Reference and Concept Resource Reference).
Adding External Library and Custom Function Paths
When you work with external libraries or custom functions in your project at design time, you must ensure that the engine can find all the relevant libraries. The section Working with External Library and Custom Function Paths explains how to use new features to do this.
The same functionality is also available from the Launch Configuration Editor Environment tab, as noted in Chapter 23, Testing and Debugging Projects.
Mention of this requirement is added to Adding a Shared Resource.
Enabling and Using Query Optimization (Oracle Coherence Only)
A new subsection within the section Guidelines for Use of Oracle Coherence Functions called Query Optimization explains how to enable and use property indexes.
Miscellaneous
The section Exporting Resources as a WSDL File has been updated to make clear which project resources are used by the WSDL export utility. Understanding the WSDL to Project Resource Mapping]
A new section explains how to import domain models from Microsoft Excel and from databases. The section also explains how to export domain models to Excel See Importing and Exporting Domain Models.
Support for array types is now available for rule functions. The form editor pop-up dialog for selecting scope variables now has a checkbox, isArray. You can specify a variable array in the source editor in the usual way, for example, int[] myArr. See Adding a Rule Function for a new step in the procedure reflecting this change.
The section Guidelines for Use of Cache Related Functions is updated for changes in the names of certain functions.
Project Analyzer now includes shared resources (HTTP Connection, Identity Resource, JDBC Connection, JMS Connection, JMS Application Properties, JNDI Configuration, Rendezvous Transport). This is noted in Project Analyzer and Selected Entity Project Diagrams.
