The grid-library.xml

The grid-library.xml file, which is located at the root of a Grid Library archive, specifies name, version, dependencies, paths, operating system, and other information about a Grid Library. The following is an example of a grid-library.xml for a distribution:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<grid-library os="linux24gl23_x86">

<grid-library-name>

SampleBWPlugin_distribution

</grid-library-name>

<grid-library-version>

2.3.0.0

</grid-library-version>

</grid-library>

Your grid-library.xml must contain the following elements and attributes:
  • A grid-library element with an os attribute. The os attribute defines the OS name on which the distribution is running. Possible values include linux24gl23_x86, linux24gl23_x86, win_x86, win_x86, sol10_x86, sol10_x86, sol8_sparc, or sol8_sparc. The os attribute can also be omitted if the distribution is platform-neutral.
  • A grid-library-name element. This defines the name of the distribution. The distribution Grid Library can be named anything as long as it follows Silver Fabric Grid Library naming conventions. It is suggested to use the naming convention of BW Plugin Name_distribution_gridlib, where BW Plugin Name is the BusinessWorks plugin name used by TIBCO Universal installer.
  • A grid-library-version element. This defines the version of the BusinessWorks plugin.
