Sample Applications

In the installation folder for the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in for IBM i, there is a folder named samples. Within that folder is a ZIP archive named IBMiPluginExample.zip. This archive contains two applications (also ZIP archives), and a save file named ADAS400.SAVF from an IBM i system. To run the samples, you must first upload and restore the ADAS400.SAVF save file to an IBM i system of your choice. To upload and restore the save file, extract it from the archive and follow these instructions:

Procedure

  1. In a Unix shell or a Windows command prompt, navigate to the folder where the ADAS400.SAVF has been extracted.
  2. Start an FTP session in the Unix shell or Windows command prompt to connect to an IBM i machine.
  3. In the FTP session, change the transfer mode to binary by using the bin command: bin
  4. Change to an IFS naming convention using the following command: quote site namefmt 1
  5. Change the library to <library_name>, which is the name of the library where you want to upload the save file: cd /QSYS.LIB/<library_name>.LIB.
  6. Upload the save file to the library on the IBM i machine using the following command: put ADAS400.SAVF
  7. Sign on to the IBM i machine, and verify that the save file was uploaded correctly by entering the following command: DSPSAVF FILE<library_name>/ADAS400), where <library_name> is the name of the library where the ADAS400 was uploaded.
  8. On the IBM i machine, restore the ADAS400 sample library by entering the following command: RSTLIB SAVLIB(ADAS400) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(<library_name>/ADAS400).

Example

If you have chosen to use a different library name from ADAS400, you will have to adjust the variables used in the sample applications to match your installation. To use the samples, extract them to a directory and import them into TIBCO Business Studio using the right-click > Import Existing Studio Projects action in the workspace explorer. The applications have been internally documented and annotated to help you use them.
