Channels and Destinations : Adding Channels and Destinations

Adding Channels and Destinations
The general procedure for creating channels and destinations of all types is the same, though the configuration options are different. A TIBCO Rendezvous channel is shown as an example.
To Add a Channel
1.
In Studio Explorer, right click the folder where you want to store the channel and select New > Channel. You see the New Channel Wizard.
2.
You cannot change the name in the editor. To change the name of any project element, right-click the element in Studio Explorer and select Refactor > Rename. See Chapter 4, Element Refactoring Operations for more details.
3.
If you select Local, channel configuration is complete.
4.
Click Finish. You see the Channel editor.
To Edit a Channel
1.
2.
In the Driver type field, the driver you selected in the wizard is selected. If you want to change to a different type of channel you can do so now. Select the appropriate driver:
3.
For all channel types (except Local and HTTP), from the Method of Configuration drop-down list, select one of the following:
Resource Select Resource if you have a shared resource in your project whose properties you want to reuse for this channel. For HTTP channels, Resource is preselected and cannot be changed.
Properties Select Properties to configure this channel resource using properties. When you select Properties, a Properties section displays appropriate fields for the type of channel. See Channel Resource Reference for help in entering the correct values.
Resource names and directory names  The path to the resource and the resource name cannot contain any of the keywords or other reserved words listed in Keywords and Other Reserved Words.
4.
For HTTP channels only, in the serverType field of the Extended Configuration section, select a server type from the drop-down list. See Configuring TIBCO BusinessEvents to Receive and Send HTTP Requests for a more detailed procedure.
5.
If you selected Resource in the Method of Configuration field, in the Resource field click Browse and select the shared resource you want to use.

Continue to the section Adding a Destination to a Channel and add destinations to the channel as needed.
Adding a Destination to a Channel
One channel can have multiple destinations. Each is shown in the Destinations section of the Channel editor.

If it is not already open, open the editor for the channel to which you want to add a destination. To open the channel editor, double-click the channel name in the TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Explorer view.

In the Default Event field, browse to and select the event to be created (by default) from incoming messages received by this destination. If you have not yet created the event, you can select the default event later.

For HTTP and SOAP destinations: Task D, Add a Destination, in the section Configuring TIBCO BusinessEvents to Receive and Send HTTP Requests. (Destination configuration is the same for SOAP and HTTP destinations. See Manually Creating Resources to Work with SOAP Services and Creating Resources Using the WSDL Import Utility for more information about creating SOAP channels and destinations)
Various fields appear, depending on your selection.
