When you first enter TIBCO Object Service Broker, the Library field displays the name of the default library specified in your user profile. This is commonly set to your local library, which contains the rules that you created, and the rules from other libraries that you edited and saved, or copied into your library. For more information on library management, refer to
TIBCO Object Service Broker Programming in Rules and the
DEFINE_LIBRARY tool in
TIBCO Object Service Broker Shareable Tools.
The Test field applies only for the Execute Rule workbench tool, no other functionality of the workbench is affected. It determines whether a rule, when executed, runs in test mode.
The duration of the Test field indicator is transaction bound. When the
Test field is set to Y, occurrences inserted to TIBCO Object Service Broker tables through a rule are non-persistent even though the rule runs successfully. When the transaction ends or a commit is issued, the updates to tables are discarded. Most external databases are not affected by the
Test field and changes made to them are persistent.
The Browse field applies only for the Execute Rule workbench tool. No other functionality of the workbench is affected. Other tools, like the Menu Definer, give you the option of specifying the mode in which your rule executes. This specification overrides the workbench specification and determines if a rule, when executed, runs in browse mode or not.
When the Browse field is set to Y, you cannot make updates to most types of tables through the execution of rules. If you attempt to make an update, the rule fails. Updates are made to EXP tables.
The Time and
Date fields display the current time and date. These reflect the time zone you are in, not the one specified in your base system.
