An object set is a collection of TIBCO Object Service Broker objects that are grouped together using the Object Set Definer and can be managed as a single entity, aiding in the application development process. An object set can contain any TIBCO Object Service Broker object, including other object sets.
The Object Set Definer is used to define object sets by grouping objects in the same application together. You can also specify access permissions for the object set from the Object Set Definer. The Object Set Definer can also be used as a workbench for an application. Instead of defining the components of an application through the different tools, you can use the Object Set Definer as the starting point and define the components from it.
The Object Set Definer also produces a message log. After you define an object, you can access the message log by pressing PF21. The message log usually does not have information in it unless you returned to the Object Definition screen from an object definition tool, for example, the Screen Definer.
This chapter describes how to define object sets in TIBCO Object Service Broker using the text-based workbench. You can also perform these tasks using the TIBCO Object Service Broker UI, which provides a graphical environment for TIBCO Object Service Broker development. For details, see the TIBCO Object Service Broker UI online help.
