Fields
The screen contain the following fields:
The Library field is on the title line for the workbench, and is not labeled. It displays the name of your local library. You can change this to another local library name. In the example above, it displays USR40.
Displays Y or N. If you change this to Y, a rule executed from the EX execute rule option of the workbench is run in test mode, unless the mode is changed within the rule. When the transaction ends or a COMMIT is issued, the updates to tables are discarded.
Only the execute rule workbench tool uses the test mode set on the workbench. When the TEST field is set to Y, you can insert occurrences in a table using the Table Editor. If you insert occurrences using a rule, the rule could run successfully, occurrences no longer existing in the table after the rule ends.
Displays Y or N. If this is changed to Y, a rule executed from the EX execute rule field of the workbench is run in browse mode and you cannot make updates to tables through the execution of rules, unless the mode is changed within the rule. You can change the mode within the rule by starting a new transaction and specifying a different mode.
Only the execute rule workbench tool uses the browse mode set on the workbench. When the BROWSE field is set to Y, you can insert occurrences in a table using the Table Editor. If you insert occurrences through a rule, the rule fails.
Other tools, such as the Menu Definer, give you the option of specifying the mode in which your rule executes. This specification overrides the workbench specification.
The command history area is scrollable and appears below the COMMAND field. The list can display the last 50 commands issued. To scroll the command history area, move the cursor into the field and press PF7 and PF8.
The Appointment Book/Tickler is invoked by placing the cursor on any day in the calendar and pressing Enter. It provides an hourly appointment schedule, a to-do list, and reminders. The appointment book can also be entered for the current day by placing the cursor on any field in the reminder area and pressing Enter.
Broadcast Message
The Broadcast Message appears when you log in to TIBCO Object Service Broker. It appears at the bottom of the workbench next to the time. The message is the first occurrence of the BROADCAST table. You can view the rest of the BROADCAST table by pressing PF2 before you start any other transactions in this TIBCO Object Service Broker session. If the table is empty, the message “No broadcast available” appears.
Accessing the Workbench Tools
The TIBCO Object Service Broker tools listed in the menu can be accessed in three ways:
To issue a command, place the cursor on the corresponding line for the command. The menu can be scrolled to display all the commands. Most commands have a required or optional argument that should be typed in the corresponding field. If the name of an object (for example, rule, table, or screen) is not typed, a list of the available objects appears.
Rule arguments or table parameters can be supplied with the rule or table names. If the necessary arguments or parameters are not supplied, a prompt screen appears.
The pair of letters to the left of each command line is an abbreviation for that command. They are used with the COMMAND and Command History fields.
A previously issued command can be executed again by placing the cursor on it in the command history area and pressing Enter. The abbreviation or the argument can be changed by typing over it before execution.
