If the server components reside on another machine, you must ensure that TIBCO Object Service Broker is installed and started before you can start to use the development interfaces.
The TIBCO Object Service Broker UI and the text-based workbench provide you with the tools needed for prototyping, testing, and completing the development and implementation of an application.
You can use either the TIBCO Object Service Broker UI or a text-based workbench to define TIBCO Object Service Broker objects such as tables, rules, screens, and reports. The TIBCO Object Service Broker UI is an Eclipse-based graphical user interface that you can use for application development. The text-based workbench is a standard menu that includes definers, editors, a number of shareable tools, and some administrative interfaces.
