Resource Tools

•

Link Resource—Creates a link from one resource to another. You are prompted for the Source and Target resource.

Links can also be created holding down Control-Shift and by dragging a resource into a folder or another resource.

•

Move Resource—Moves a resource. You are prompted for the resource name and its now location. This may be useful for unusually large projects.

File Tools

Offers a variety of ways of changing file extensions and moving files. For example:

•

Change File Extension For Resource—Allows you to change the file extension for a selected resource. This is useful if you wish to change the extension of an adapter resource to load it as a Generic Adapter Configuration resource.

A dialog displays the resource name and extension and allows you to specify the new extension.

•

Change File Extension For All Of Same Type—Allows you to change the file extension for all resources of the same type as a selected resource.

•

Copy A File From The Project—Makes a copy of a selected top-level resource and saves it to the file of your choice. This is useful if you want to use that top-level resource in another project.

•

Copy A Directory From The Project—Makes a copy of a selected directory and saves it to the location of your choice. This is useful if you want to use the resources in that directory in another project.

Find Global Variable Usages

Displays a dialog where you can select a global variable and find each resource that uses it. Click a found resource to display it in the configuration panel.

Export As XML Schemas

Converts an AESchema file to an XML Schema file. You are prompted for the name of the AESchema file you want to convert.

Trusted Certificates

Import into PEM Format. Prompts you for the location of a certificate and adds the certificate in PEM format to the project. You need a certificate in PEM format to be part of the project when you want to add the certificate to other resources, for example, to a TIBCO Rendezvous Session you want to make secure.

Create Project EAR

Creates an Enterprise Archive for the current project. The archive includes an adapter archive for each adapter and a process archive for each process that has a process starter.

See Chapter 6, Creating an Archive for Deployment, for information about working with an Enterprise Archive.

Schema Importer

The schema import tool allows you to import resources into a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks project. See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Process Design Guide for details.

Java Code

Allows you to compile java code for each Java Code activity individually. See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Palette Reference for details.

Tester

Displays if TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is installed. Allows you to test a process instance from TIBCO Designer. Only one test session can run at a time in the same process instance.

Show Adapter Tester

Displays the Adapter Tester tool, which allows you to select an installed TIBCO Adapter for which the configuration is currently available and perform testing.

See TIBCO Designer Palette Reference for more information on Adapter Tester.
