Creating an Application Property

You create new application properties in the Properties page of an application in TIBCO Business Studio™ for BusinessWorks™. The application properties editor can also be used to create and manage custom profiles. You can also promote a module property to be an application property.

The application properties editor can be used to create and manage new application profiles. You can add a new application property to a profile, rename a profile, and also delete a profile. Application profiles can also be exported from an application, and used in a different application. Similarly, exported profiles can be imported into a different application.

Supported Datatypes

The following datatypes are supported for an application property:
  • Boolean
  • DateTime
  • Integer
  • Long
  • Password
  • String

Follow these steps to create a new application property:

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer, fully expand <application_name>.application.
  2. Double-click Properties under Package Unit to open the application properties in the right pane.
  3. Click Application in the Properties column and click New Property.
    A new property gets created under Application.
  4. Click the property name to edit it.
  5. Click the corresponding default profile column (the default column is indicated with [ ] around it) or another profile column in case you have multiple profiles set up for the property to enter a value for the property.
    For more information about setting an application profile as a default profile, see "Setting the Default Application Profile" in TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition Samples.
  6. Save your application.
    When a property value is same across all profiles, and you want to keep the property values consistent across all profiles after updating a value for any one profile, select the Sync Values check box.
