Creating a Marketplace App Listing
TIBCO Cloud Integration - Connect and TIBCO Flogo® apps can be added to the Marketplace where other users can select and install them. By default all new listings are set to Private. Private listings are displayed in the Marketplace for all users in your organization. If you want to provide this listing to users in other organizations, you must first create the listing in the Marketplace and then from the Marketplace submit the listing for approval by changing the visibility to Public. See Submitting for Approval and Making a Marketplace Listing Public.
TIBCO BusinessWorks apps can be added to the Marketplace as templates from within TIBCO Business Studio™ for BusinessWorks™. See Pushing Applications to the TIBCO Cloud Integration Marketplace in the TIBCO BusinessWorks help.
For organizations that you manage, you can leave the listing private and use the Add Subscription option on the Manage access dialog to add the listing to a specified organization's Marketplace. See Managing Organization Listings in the Marketplace, Adding a Marketplace Listing to an Organization, and Finding an Organization's Subscription Locator.
If necessary, change the name of your organization before creating Marketplace listings or create a child organization with the name you want to use in the Distributed by field and add your Marketplace listings from within that organization. If you have already created listings and require assistance changing the associated organization name, you can use the TIBCO Cloud™ Integration API to modify the Distributed by field. See Updating a Marketplace Listing with the API.
Considerations
- TIBCO Flogo® apps pushed using the TIBCO Cloud™ - Command Line Interface or the TIBCO Cloud™ Integration API are read-only and cannot be added to the Marketplace. The Add Marketplace Listing option does not display for these apps.
- Use the app description to include details about the app or links to other resources.
- Use comments in your flows to help users who install the app from the Marketplace understand how it works.
- Marketplace app listings for TIBCO Cloud Integration - Connect apps do not include schedules, connections, and API endpoint URLs that were part of the original app. After installing the app in your organization, you must open it and update these components.
- TIBCO Cloud Integration - Connect Data Replication apps are not available as Marketplace listings. Data Replication apps only copy data from one repository to another and would not be helpful to other users.
- Marketplace app listings for TIBCO Flogo®apps do not include secrets or custom extensions. After installing the app in your organization, you must open it and update these components. Marketplace listing providers should add any custom extensions used by their apps to the Marketplace.
- Marketplace app template listings for TIBCO BusinessWorks inherit the deployment type set in the app used to create the listing. If you plan to deploy the final app in the Cloud, the app must be set to Cloud deployment.

- Navigate to the Apps List page and open the TIBCO Flogo® or TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect app you want to add to the Marketplace.
- On the App Details page select the Add Marketplace Listing option next to the app name at the top of the page. The Create marketplace listing dialog displays.
- Complete the fields provided on the Create marketplace listing dialog and select Publish privately to send the listing to the Marketplace. See the Marketplace Listing Fields table for details on each field.
