TIBCO Platform Application Linking
You can link one or more running applications in the TIBCO Platform (for example, BusinessWorks Container Edition or Flogo apps) to a TIBCO Developer Hub component. This allows you to open the application detail page in the TIBCO Control Plane from the Components detail page.
In the Software Catalog table, if the entity type is component, and it is associated with a platform tag (case-insensitive), then the TIBCO Platform application deployments section shows on the catalog detail page of that component.
The following highlighted section shows a list of applications deployed in the TIBCO Control Plane and its respective data plane.
To view the data plane details in the TIBCO Control Plane, click the data plane name. You can click the application name to view the application details in the TIBCO Control Plane.
Configure TIBCO Platform Application Instance Links
In the entity YAML file of the component, add the below configuration.
Under the metadata section, tags
should be added as an array that contains a platform
tag and tibcoPlatformApps
should be added as an array that must have the following properties:
-
appType -
This shows the type of an app. The respective appType icon is visible under the Application column in the table. -
appName -
The name of the application deployed in the TIBCO Control Plane. This is visible in the Application column. -
dataPlaneName -
The name of the data plane in the TIBCO Control Plane. This is visible in the Data Plane column. -
dpId -
The id of the data plane. This is used to redirect to the data plane link in the TIBCO Control Plane and to redirect to the application link deployed in the TIBCO Control Plane. -
capabilityInstanceId -
An id of the capability instance. This is used to redirect to the application link deployed in the TIBCO Control Plane. -
appId -
The id of the application. This is used to redirect to the application link deployed in the TIBCO Control Plane.
EMPTY State of TIBCO Platform Application Deployments
If the entity type is component
and contains the platform
tag and there is no tibcoPlatformApps
configuration found in the entity YAML file or it is a blank array that does not contain any applications, you see the empty state screen displaying the configuration steps to list the deployed applications in the TIBCO Control Plane.
