Project Design Tutorial : Create the FraudDetection Project

Create the FraudDetection Project
In this task, you start TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio and create an empty project.
Learning Points
What is TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio?  TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio is the Eclipse-based user interface for TIBCO BusinessEvents. It enables you to build, test, and debug projects. Use of this industry-standard development framework shortens your learning curve and enables you to take advantage of common tools and facilities.
What are the TIBCO BusinessEvents Perspectives?  TIBCO BusinessEvents has these Eclipse perspectives:
TIBCO BusinessEvents switches perspectives transparently depending on the editor you are working with.
What are the bottom tabs?  In the lower part of the user interface are various tabs used as needed:
Console  The Console view displays and logs the errors resulting from improper execution of the TIBCO BusinessEvents engine.
Problems  The Problems view reports all validation errors in the project, including language validation errors, access control errors, and so on. It also displays messages relating to project analyzer. Double-click a problem entry to open the associated editor. See Analyze and Validate the Project for more details.
Error Log  The Error Log view captures all the warnings and errors logged by Eclipse plug-ins. The log file itself has the extension .log file and it is stored in the .metadata subdirectory of the workspace.
Properties  The Properties view shows metadata about a resource. To view the metadata, click the resource in Studio Explorer. Not all resources use this tab.
How should I organize project folders?  When you create a new project a set of folders is created. You can use a different folder structure to organize your project components in any way you like. Example projects are kept simple and use provided folder names such as Concepts, Events, Rules. More complex projects might use a different folder hierarchy with names that relate to the purpose or contents of the folders.
Incorrect display? If the Eclipse user interface is not rendering correctly, try adjusting your computer display options. For example, on Windows XP, the following option causes rendering problems: Control Panel > System Properties > Advanced > Performance Options > Visual Effects > Adjust for best performance. In this example, choosing the Adjust for best performance option results in correct rendering.
More Information
Chapter 2, Project Tasks in TIBCO BusinessEvents Developer’s Guide discusses actions you can take at the project level such as importing projects, validating projects, using project libraries, and so on.
 
Task A Create the Fraud Detection Project
1.
Start TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio. In Windows, click Start > All Programs > TIBCO > YourEnvironment > TIBCO BusinessEvents 5.0 > TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio.
2.
The first time you run TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio, a Welcome screen displays. You can access this guide from the Welcome page. Click the X next to Welcome to dismiss the screen.
3.
As needed, create a workspace for your tutorial projects. Select File > Switch Workspace > Other and select the directory you want to use. You can create a new directory.
4.
Right click in the TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Explorer view (the panel on the left, where the project folders will display), and select New > Project. You see the New Project wizard.
5.
From the list, select TIBCO BusinessEvents > Studio Project.
Then click Next.
6.
In the New Studio Project dialog, enter the project name FraudDetection, and click Finish. (If you want to use a non-default location, uncheck the Use default location checkbox and select the location.)
In the Studio Explorer viewer, the root folder of the project is called FraudDetection. It has a set of project subfolders.
In addition you may see links for various diagrams: FraudDetection.conceptview, FraudDetection.eventview and FraudDetection.projectview. These are respectively concept model, event model, and project (or element) diagrams. Diagrams are created dynamically and are not saved. More diagrams are available for other purposes. They are UML compliant, with some exceptions. Some diagrams are created only when generated.
7.
To save changes in just the currently viewed resource, click File > Save or click Ctrl+S, or click the Save button.
Summary and Next Steps
You have created a new empty project in the TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio Development perspective.
Next you will begin to define your TIBCO BusinessEvents project by building a channel for information to enter the deployed application, and a destination for the application to listen to.
The order in which you build up the project is not fixed. For example, instead you might define the project ontology first.
