Set up BusinessWorks and import your project.

Prerequisites

  • Before you start a BW project, create a directory as follows:
TIBCO_HOME\fsjndi\designerExtendedJars
  • Copy the following JAR files inside the newly created directory: 
    • fscontext.jar
jndi.jar
providerutil.jar
  • Open the designer.tra file located in TIBCO_HOME\designer\5.5\bin and add following entry: tibco.class.path.extended %CUSTOM_CP_EXT%%PSP%%STD_CP_EXT%:TIBCO_HOME/fsjndi/designerExtendedJars

Procedure

  1. Start TIBCO Designer.
  2. In the Project tab, click New empty project.
  3. In the Save Project window, select the project directory and TIBCO messaging encoding.
  4. Click Project > Import Full Project.
  5. Import vcrepo.dat from the existing BW project directory (directory of the same name as your existing BW configuration).
  6. Alternately, if you do not want to import the existing project, copy the existing BW project directory with another name. This is similar to importing the existing BW project.
  7. Edit the project as mentioned in the step 5 and 6.
