Resolution
1. TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x is different than TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x.
2. In TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x, when used to share adapter configuration, need export the adapter services to a design-time-library (DTL) so that the BW5 developer can then interact with those same adapter services. This DTL not only had the schema but it also had the transport configuration used by the adapter service.
3. In TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x, when need to share an adapter, it is done using schemas. It is recommended as, configure the adapter palette activities using the adapter services schema which comes from the shared module.
4. While using this approach the only other manual effort would be to configure the transport. This would need to be done because the transport is known at the adapter service level and not at the schema level.
For the above implementation follow the steps as:
For the newly created project in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x:
1. Create a shared module having database adapter configurations. 2. Add the shared module to the project dependencies of another project. 3. In the BW process, In the general section of the Adapter activity, click the custom schema checkbox 4. Go to the output editor and select the desired schema 5. Add the transport configurations in the Advanced section of the activity for this need to create transport configuration under Resource in BW6 project. 6. Launch the adapter and run the process.
For migrated project from TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x:
1. Migrate TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project which can be used as DTL in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x as a shared module. 2. Check the shared module has been added in the project dependencies of another project. 3. In the BusinessWorks process, In the general section of the Adapter activity, click the custom schema checkbox 4. Go to the output editor and select the desired schema 5. Add the transport configurations in the Advanced section of the activity for this need to create/check transport configuration under Resource in BW6 project. 6. Launch the adapter and run the process.
