Creating an Application Module

Application modules are packages containing one or more processes, shared resources, and metadata such as name, version, dependencies.

You can create an application from the TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks or from the TIBCO Cloud™ Integration web page. Refer to the "Creating an App" topic in the Getting Started section for details on how to create an application from the TIBCO Cloud Integration web page. To create an application using the TIBCO Business Studio for BusinessWorks, use the following instructions.

 
The New BusinessWorks Application Module wizard helps create an application module. There are multiple ways to open the wizard:
  • From the main menu, select File > New > BusinessWorks Resources and then select BusinessWorks Application Module.
  • Right-click in the Project Explorer view and choose New > BusinessWorks Application Module.
Specify the values for the following fields in the wizard:
  1. Project name: Name of the application module.
  2. Use default location: Specifies the location on disk to store the application module's data files. By default, this value is set to the workspace. To change, clear the checkbox and browse to select the location to be used.
  3. Version: Version of the application module.
  4. Deployment Target: Select one or more required deployment platforms.
    Note: Optional, you can set the default deployment profile to create applications, and migrate the existing TIBCO Cloud Integration projects with the set preference. Navigate to Window > Preferences > BusinessWorks > Deployment Profile.
  5. Depending on the deployment platform you select, the target platform name follows the project name. For example, tibco_bw_sample_palette_http_requestresponse [Container, TIBCO Cloud, BW6 AppSpace].
  6. Create empty process: Selected by default to create an empty process with the specified name (default: Process). Clear the checkbox if you do not want to create an empty process.
  7. Create Application: Selected by default to create an application with the specified name. Clear the checkbox if you do not want to create an application.
  8. Use Java Configuration: Select to provide the Java tooling capabilities in your module. Selecting this option creates a Java module.
  9. Click Finish.

Note: You can add identical package names in two different shared modules.

ResultAn application module with the specified name is then created and opens in the workbench. If the option to create an empty process and an application were selected, the process and application with the specified names are also created.
