Creating or Editing an On Event App

Use On event apps to process inbound messages from another application.

Prerequisites

1. Make sure an agent is available. Select Environment & Tools from the menu.
2. Under Environment Settings, select Agents to display the Agents page.
3. The Agents page displays your available agents.
4. If there are no Agents available, determine whether you want to:
   • Download and install a Connect on-premise agent
   • Provision a Connect cloud agent

     See Agents for additional information.

5. Create your Connections. Configuring Connections to one or more datastores can be done as you add or edit an app, but it may be easier to create them first. If you were invited into this Organization, the Connections may already exist. For information about creating Connections, see Adding a Connection.

Configure the App

Accessing the App Details Page

1. Select Apps from the menu to open the Apps list.
2. Select an existing app from the Apps List to edit it or select the Create/Import button. On the Create app dialog, select All app types > Create an Event app. Then click the Create Event app button to display the App Details page for the new app.

For more information on choosing an app type, see the following:

• TIBCO Cloud™ Integration App Types
• Creating an App

Creating/Editing an On Event App

1. At the top of the app, edit the generated name from New_Connect_App to your own name for this app.
   Note: The name of this app must be unique within this Organization.
2. In the Tags field, add or delete tags used to group and filter apps.
   • To add a tag, click Tags and type the name of the tag you want to add. If this is a new tag, click the Create new <tag name> option. If this is an existing tag, click the tag name.
   • To delete a tag, click the x next to the tag name.
   • To save changes to tags, click outside the Tags dialog.
3. In the Application Description section, add a brief description for this app. This field is optional.
4. From the Agent drop-down, select an agent from the list.
   Note: The Connect cloud agent is disabled if the app contains Connections that do not support the Connect cloud agent.
5. The app is enabled by default. To disable the app, select the Disable App link on the Flows tab. See Disabled Apps for additional information.
6. On the Flows tab, determine the type of flow; then create the flows you need to accomplish your integration goals.
   • To create a Message-based flow, select the New Flow button, and select Message Flow from the drop-down list. Follow the instructions in Defining An On Event Message Flow.
   • To create a Request/Reply flow, select the New Flow button, and select Request/Reply Flow from the drop-down list. Follow the instructions in Defining An On Event Request/Reply Flow.
7. On the Connections tab, view a list of the Connections used by the flows in this app. On this tab you can: 
   • Select an existing Connection and edit its settings. See the Table of Contents in the Connectors help for Connector specific information.
   • Choose Reset Metadata from the menu to update Connection metadata.
8. In the Execution History tab, view the status of the executions of this app. See App Peek Execution History. Displays up to 45 days of Execution History for this app.

Additional Steps

Configure Your Source

As described in Defining An On Event Message Flow and Defining An On Event Request/Reply Flow, after you save the flow, TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect generates a unique Endpoint URL for each flow. Configure your source datastore or application code to call this URL.

Set Security Rules

On the Security Settings page, specify the security rules for the On event apps in this Organization.
