TIBCO Business Studio Overview

TIBCO Business Studio is an Eclipse-based integration development environment that is used to design, develop, and test TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ applications.

TIBCO Business Studio provides a workbench in which you can create, manage, and navigate resources in your workspace. A workspace is the central location on your machine where all data files are stored.

The workbench consists of:
  1. Menu: Contains menu items such as File, Edit, Diagram, Navigate, Search, Project, Run, Window, and Help.
  2. Toolbar: Contains the frequently used commands such as New , Save , Enable/Disable Business Studio capabilities , Create a new BusinessWorks Application Module , Create a new BusinessWorks Shared Module , Debug , and Run MongoDBConnectionResource .
  3. Perspective: Contains an initial set and layout of views that are required to perform a certain task. TIBCO Business Studio launches the Modeling perspective by default. To change a perspective, go to Window > Open Perspective > Perspective_Name.
  4. View: Displays resources. For example, the Project Explorer view displays the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for MongoDB applications, modules, and other resources in your workspace, and the Properties view displays the properties for the selected resource. To open a view, go to Window > Show View > View_Name.
  5. Editor: Provides a canvas to configure, edit, or browse a resource. Double-click a resource in a view to open the appropriate editor for the selected resource. For example, double-click an ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for MongoDB process in the Project Explorer view to open the process in the editor.
  6. Palette: Contains a set of widgets and a palette library. A palette groups activities that perform similar tasks and provides quick access to activities when configuring a process.
