TIBCO BW FAQs

What is the use of service container? In the latest version of TIBCO Active Matrix Business Works a new feature called Service container is added. In this service container we can add number of EAR files and run all the services simultaneously. With the Service container feature we can add and upgrade processes without bringing down other running processes. In how any ways can we create EAR files. We can build EAR files in 2 ways. One method is using the Enterprise Archive pallete in the Tibco designer and adding the process archive we can build EAR file. Other method is from the cmd prompt. We use the command appmanage and buildear. What is Schema and why do we create schema. Schema is used to create a XML schema file in which we add the variables which we want to use in our designer process. We can create the elements under which we can add the typed variables. The structure formed will be in the form of tree structure. What is the use of confirm activity. Confirm activity is used to confirm the success of a activity that have confirmable messages. For example if certain process starts on reception of a message then if that process starts the confirm activity sends a confirm message to the sender of the message. What are the different modes of tibco BW installation. There are 3 modes installation . They are a) GUI b) console c) silent When we save a project what files are created under the saved project folder. In that folder we see the Aeschema folder, all processes create in that project and the vcrepo.dat file. what is AESchema? Its a active enterprise schema

The AESchema resource contains folders for the classes, sequences, etc. to be used by the adapter if you are creating an SDK-based adapter, you can configure Schema resources using the AESchemas. By default AEschema folder will come , You can't delete this folder . What are the contents of vcrepo.dat This files contains the display name , RV encodings and description. What is grouping activity? Grouping activity is used to group certain activities used in the designer so that we can loop those activities and iterate the group with conditions. What is the condition for a process in order to build the EAR file? We need to have a process starter. How can we design exception handling? The basic method is by routing the process to another sub process whenever error occurs by using the error transition. What is the use of Render XML pallet. It is used to create a XML file by creating the tags used in the xml file. What are the elements in the WSDL file. In abstract WSDl file we have the information about the messages ( request, reply) port type, operation. In concrete in addition to above we have the transport information. What is the use of global variables? Global variables are useful in order to provide dynamic input at the run time. What is custom activity? Custom activity is useful when we want others to use our process and not allow them to view the contents of the process. We can add this process into our MY Pallete section. We can directly use this process by dragging it into our process. In web service in how many ways can we create connections. 2 ways. HTTP and JMS. How does the file poller activity works.

This is a starter activity which starts the process whenever there is update for the file that is specified. What is the use of project template? In project template we can save our standard processes that we want to use in future. These processes are generally the ones which have the commonly used activities. What is the optimum maximum number of connections in JDBC? 10 What is sub process and what is its use? Whenever we call a process from another process , the called processbecomes the subprocess. Sub process helps in reducing the complexity of the design by assigning the activity in other process. What is TRA. Tibco Runtime Agent is the main frame work for all the tibco softwares. It provides the runtime agent and monitoring agent. All the libraries required by the designs are provided by TRA. What are the process variables that are available to all activities as inputs. global variables and process context. What are break points? Break points are used to check the inputs and outputs of each activity during testing the design so that we can debug our design. We can place the check points for all activities on input and output side. What re the encoding techniques in WSDL? Encoded and literal. What are the conditions in transitions? Success, Success with condition, Success with no condition and error. What are the different variables in BW? Global variables, Shared variables, process variables and job shared variables. What is the purpose of autocommit command Causes the change to the configuration files to be saved automatically into files on disk.
