Running Deployed Application Outside TIBCO Administrator

-
There are times when you don't have full access to TIBCO Administrator but you have full access to the UNIX server where the application was deployed and you wanted to start an application. You can do that on the terminal by running the shell script that is automatically created upon deploying the application.

Go to <TRA_DOMAIN_HOME>:
/tibco/tra/domain/<DOMAIN_NAME>/application/<APPLICATION_NAME>

 APPLICATION_NAME is the name you have given to the Enterprise Archive resource in your Designer project. After deploying the application, a script file and a TRA file are created into this path. You can also check it on TIBCO Administrator and it is part of the Deployment Name after the dash.
You can directly run the shell file as a separate process (by using ampersand), or you can issue the following:

<TIBCO_BW_HOME>/bwengine --run --pid --propFile <PATH_TO_APPLICATION_TRA_FILE>

 There is one downside to using the shell file since it creates a different process and you have to manually kill that process. To verify if the service instance has successfully run, you can issue the following:

ps -ef | grep <APPLICATION_NAME>

XML Schema and JSON Schema Validation in Mule 4

Exposing an API to be consumed by client applications entails a lot of challenges. Apart from a good API definition and documentation, you also need to ensure that the request payload submitted to your API endpoints are valid and conforms to the expected data structure. Although it is not required, I think some of the advantages to validate a request payload are: Establish a service contract which is a form of agreement between the service provider and the service consumer. This means that, in order to successfully consume an API, a client application needs to strictly follow a specification "for the request payload" called a data schema . Establish data integrity which ensures that all incoming data submitted to the API are "in a format that is expected". It doesn't make sense to process malformed data. For instance, if you are inserting data to a relational database, it would be more beneficial to first check mandatory (or required) fields before processing th

Parsing a JSON String and Converting it to XML in TIBCO

If you have the REST & JSON Plug-in for TIBCO BusinessWorks, parsing and rendering a JSON string into XML is a straightforward task. We are often using XML in TIBCO, because XML is the most common format that is used to transform data using XSLT and XPath language. There are two ways we can parse and render JSON text: using an XML Schema, and using Java classes. Of course, XML Schema is already very handy, as we can always easily create one in TIBCO Designer. But, before we go to why we need to use Java classes, we need to examine first the nature of an XML Schema. An XSD describes the XML document in a strictly structured manner, which means that the sequence and nesting of the elements are important. However, for JSON, we cannot rely on the order of the elements, and we cannot force JSON to be that way. It’s just its character, and it maintains itself as an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs. That said, we cannot expect a JSON message to conform to the sp

Using XML To Java in TIBCO BW

-

There are cases when it is preferable to use Java code instead of XSLT when doing a complex string manipulation. For example, you would like to produce a single string from the different segments of an XML. You can do this by using XML To Java activity in TIBCO. Suppose you have the following XML: <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <Employees xmlns = "http://xmlns.tibco.com/javaschema/javaschema.Employees"> <Employee> <Age>24</Age> <Level>2</Level> <Name>Mark Cruz</Name> <Role>Technology Consultant</Role> <Skill>Java</Skill> <Skill>TIBCO</Skill> <Skill>Ruby</Skill> </Employee> <Employee> <Age>25</Age> <Level>1</Level> <Name>John Cruz</Name> <Role>Technology Consultant</Role> <Skill>TIBCO BW</Skill> <Skill>PHP</Skill>
