This chapter describes how to perform various tasks 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 information about using the TIBCO Object Service Broker UI, refer to the TIBCO Object Service Broker UI online help.
Before using the Rule Editor, you must understand the organization and usage of TIBCO Object Service Broker rules libraries. Rules that you create and edit are placed in the local library that you are currently accessing. Rules that you are executing can be obtained from a number of different libraries.
Your local library contains rules you created, copied, or modified for your own use. Your default local library for use during your session is defined as part of your session options. You can also define additional local libraries using the
DEFINE_LIBRARY tool. Refer to
Defining a Library for more information.
The installation library contains rules available to all users of a particular TIBCO Object Service Broker installation. The content of this library is controlled by the TIBCO Object Service Broker system administrator. It is usually called SITE.
The search path used for your rules execution is determined by the Search specification in your user profile, your session options, or the menu definition used to list the rule. TIBCO Object Service Broker provides the following default search order: your local library is searched first, followed by the installation library, followed by the system library. You can change the search order used for your session as required. The first rule encountered with the appropriate rule name is executed.
