TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in Development Kit 6.3.1

# Overview

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in Development Kit is a tool that speeds up the development of new plug-ins for TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™.

BusinessWork Plug-in Development Kit guides you through a set of wizards to create palettes and activities, and build scripts for a new plug-in. BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit is used to develop many of the plug-ins supported on ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks including plug-ins for Marketo, MDM, and SharePoint.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is a leading integration platform to integrate a wide variety of technologies and systems within enterprise and on cloud. ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks includes an Eclipse-based graphical user interface (GUI) based on TIBCO Business Studio™ for design, deployment, and testing of process flows. The processes designed in TIBCO Business Studio can be deployed to the BusinessWorks process engine. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks plug-ins extend the functions of ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks by adding more activities. A TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks plug-in is designed to integrate third-party applications with ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks. See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Concepts for more details about TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks.

BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit works with TIBCO Business Studio to boost developers productivity by creating plug-ins that are not yet currently available for a platform. Once developed, the plug-ins created by BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit are installed and used exactly like the plug-in provided by TIBCO. BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit hides the complexity of plug-in development, generates the code to conform to BusinessWorks SDK specifications, and provides tooling to package, install, and document the plug-in.

As TIBCO is regularly developing and making many plug-ins, before you develop a new plug-in, check if TIBCO has already developed and made a plug-in available for your needs.

The following figure illustrates a complete workflow of creating and using a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks plug-in:

BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit provides the following features:

- Creating a plug-in

  BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit provides a plug-in development wizard to guide developers in creating a plug-in step by step. During the process, you have to create a palette, add and configure activities, and add business logic.

  For more details, see Creating a Plug-in.

- Editing an existing plug-in

  BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit provides a plug-in editing wizard to guide developers in editing an existing plug-in that is created by using BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit. You can modify activity configurations, and add new activities to the plug-in.

  For more details, see Editing a Plug-in.

- Generating an installer

  BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit provides the functionality to package a created plug-in as a TIBCO Eclipse plug-in, which is an installation package for the Eclipse provisioning platform.

  For more details, see Creating an Installer for a Plug-in.

- Documentation template

  BusinessWorks Plug-in Development Kit generates a documentation template based on the plug-in that you create. You can update this template to guide your plug-in users.

  For more details, see Creating Documentation.
