Generating the manifest.yml file
To push an application created in TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition or TIBCO Cloud™ Integration to VMware Tanzu the application manifest (manifest.yml) file is required. In TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition the manifest.yml file can be created from the Context menu option, Create Manifest YML for an application in the Project Explorer view.
Manifest File Editor
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name is auto populated when the manifest file is created. This is an editable field. When you rename the application module, then the name is updated in the Manifest.yml. |
| Memory | The memory field, to specify the memory limit for all instances of an app, is auto populated when file is created. The default value is 512M.
This attribute requires a unit of measurement: M , MB , G , or GB , either in uppercase or in lowercase followed by the numeric value |
| Timeout | The timeout field is auto populated with default value as 60. Only numeric values are allowed for timeout. |

Environment Variables
To select environment variables, click the variable chooser button on the right hand side of the table. Environment variables can still be used if there are no default environment variables listed.
Services
The services can be selected from the chooser feature. The services that are present in VMware Tanzu environment is displayed in the chooser. The Add button is also used to define the services. Specify the service name once a new service is added.
Exporting the EAR file
The Manifest.yml file is exported when you create an EAR file using the Create Enterprise Archive option. The Manifest.yml file is copied to the same directory as the EAR file and it will not be present in the Jar file inside the EAR file. If a Manifest.yml file already exists in that directory, then it is overwritten. The EAR path attribute is updated automatically in the exported manifest.yml file.
