Patterns Connection

The TIBCO Patterns connection is a shared resource that contains all necessary parameters to connect to a TIBCO Patterns server. The TIBCO Patterns connection must be specified when running any of the activities that connect to a TIBCO Patterns server. You can configure the connection to a TIBCO Patterns server using the host and the port number. The Patterns Connection shared resource must be configured first. Most of the other TIBCO Patterns activities can override the shared connection information at run time.
