BusinessEvents Extension Distribution Overview

A BusinessEvents extension distribution is the archive that contains the BusinessEvents plug-in used in a BusinessEvents extension Grid Library. It is a Grid Library, consisting of all files that would normally be added to a BusinessEvents installation when a plug-in is installed, plus metadata files, packaged in a compressed archive.

Note: Most use cases will not require a new distribution and an enabler. If you need to change the behavior of TIBCO BusinessEvents then you might require a new Distribution and an Enabler, but for 95% of cases an extension of the BaseExtension will prove more useful to accomplish developer goals.

The following illustration shows the metadata files in the top-level directory of the Grid Library.
