In BW
In JAVA
import java.io.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String [] args) {
String fileName = "temp.txt";
String line = null;
try {
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(fileName);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
while((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}

7.  Accelerates the application development and deployment cycle
 Functions and data are available as re-usable services to use in complex business
processes
 Improves the consistency, performance and scalability
 Capable of integrating any IT resource virtually

8.  Supports leading standards and protocols including HTTP/S, FTP, JDBC, TCP and JMS
 Extensive Web Services capabilities and support for SOAP over JMS and HTTP/S
 Enables distribution of information using technology that is best suited for scenario
 Provides built-in tool for defining XML schemas, parsing and rendering capabilities

9.  Designed to describe data
 Software and hardware independent language for carrying information
 One of the most important technologies for business integration both inside and
across enterprises

10.  Parse XML:
Processes a binary XML file or XML string and turns it into an XML schema based
on the XSD specified
 Render XML:
Takes an instance of an XML schema element and renders it as a stream of bytes
containing XML or an XML string

11.  Transform XML:
Allows us to transform an input XML document into the output specified by the
given XSLT File shared configuration resource
 XSLT File
Allows us to load an XSLT file to use to transform XML schemas using the Transform
XML activity

12.  Data Format:
It contains the specification for parsing or rendering a text string using the Parse
Data and Render Data activities
 Parse Data:
Takes a text string or input from a file and processes it, turning it into a schema
tree based on the specified Data Format shared configuration

13.  Render Data:
Takes an instance of a data schema and renders it as a text string. The schema
processed is based on a specified Data Format shared configuration

14.  Enterprise messaging allows different systems to communicate with
each other
 Enterprise Message Service is the TIBCO’s implementation of Java
Message Service.
 It obey the Java Message Service specifications
 Some features like load-balancing, routing and fault tolerant
configurations are added to TIBCO EMS

15.  Reduces the cost and complexity of integrating different systems
 Increases flexibility and promotes greater service reuse
 Improves the performance, scalability and reliability of distributed
system communication

16. FilePalette
 File palette
 CONTENTS:
 Copy file
 Create file
 File poller
 List files
 Read file
 Remove file
 Rename file
 Wait for file change
 Write file

17. COPYFILE:
 It used for coping a file.
 In input we can give the source file(fromfilename) which is to be copied.
 Destination folder (tofilename) at which the copied file is pasted.

18. Create
 create is used to create files and directory
 Just we need to give our indented file name or directory name and location as input

19. FILEPOLLER
 It is a starter activity
 File poller can detect any changes in a file at
particular location at regular intervels of time.
 The input to the file poller is a location of files or a
particular file.
 We can also check for a specific event by select
the options

20. LISTFILES
 List files is used for listing all the files and directories in a location ie.. Folder.
 Input to the list files activity is the desired location.
 The output of the list files contains the file name size and last modified date also.

21. READFILE
Read file is used for reading the file
The input to the file will be the file full name.
The output of the activity will be the content in the file

22. REMOVEFILE:
 Remove file was used to delete the file.
 It deletes the file permanently from our system we cant able to find the removed file in recycle bin.
 The input to the remove file is the file name we want to remove.

23. RENAMEFILE:
 Rename file is used for changing a file name.
 We can also use the rename file for moving a file.
 For renaming a file we have to give the existing file name and desired file name.

24. WAITFORFILECHANGE
 It is a non starter process
 It pause the process until the changes are made in the location which is specified

25. WRITEFILE
Write file is used for writing text content into the file
It can create non existing directories also

26.  What is a Protocol
 Http Introduction
 Http palette
 Groups in TIBCO
 Types of Group Actions

27.  Common set of rules and instructions that each computer follows
 Hyper text transfer protocol
 Application layer protocol
 Works as a Request Response model
 Usually works on 8080 port in association with TCP protocol and on 80 port with UDP

28.  Used to communicate with web server through HTTP Palettes.
 Consists of six activities ( 2 at project level, 4 at process level)
Available at Process Level
Available at Project Level

29. HTTP Connection: Describes the connection properties . Necessary if we use either HTTP receiver or
wait for HTTP request
HTTP Proxy : Useful when we want to send requests outside the firewall to a proxy server(HTTP)
HTTP Receiver : It is process starter activity which will be triggered once it gets a HTTP request.
Send HTTP Request: Asynchronous activity that sends an HTTP request and waits for a response
from the Web Server

30. Wait for HTTP Response : Waits for an incoming HTTP request in a process. The process
instance suspends until the incoming HTTP request is received.
Send HTTP Response : Sends a response to a previously received
HTTP request. Activity is used in conjunction with the HTTP receiver process starter or Wait for
HTTP Request activity. default status line returned is "200 OK".

31.  Groups are used to segregate certain actions together.
 Used for iterations
 Used for repeating a group of activities or a single activity for a specific number of times
 Ex: if we want to repeat a sub process for 10 times we will use a group action.

32. 1) Iterate
2) Repeat until true
3) Repeat on error until true
4) Transaction
5) Critical section
6) Pick first
7) While true
8) if

33. Iterate :
• Used to iterate group once for every item in the list
• Iterate can be of any number of times depending on the loop condition
Iterate action on a
groupInput Output

34. Group with a
condition defined
Repeat until true:
• Repeat the iterations until the condition is true
• Once the defined condition is true, it will come out of the loop
• Condition is true then exit
Input
Execute and repeat
Loop
Fail
Exit Loop
True

35. Repeat on error until true:
• Used to iterate a group when an error occurs
• If there is no error it is executed only once
• Example would be a password for account
Group with repeat
on error for n times
Input
No Error
Execute and exit
Keep repeating for N times and
exit
Error

36. Critical Section :
• Synchronize process instances so that only one process instance executes the grouped activities
• Other process keeps waiting until the process instance that is currently executing critical section
completes
Group with critical
section
Process 1
Process 2
Process 1 executes group first
Process 2 keeps waiting until the other is
completed and then executes group

37. While True:
• Repeat as long as the defined condition evaluates as true
• If the condition evaluates as false exit the group
Group
Evaluate condition
first
Input
Execute and repeat
True
Fail
Exit without execution

39. The Mapper is a synchronous activity that adds a new process
variable to the process.
This variable can be an inline schema, primitive element, or a
complex element.
The Mapper activity adds a new process variable to the process
definition.

40. Mapper activity is used to convert one XML structue into another
XML structure.
It can be used to write your logics.
You can find Mapper Activity in General Activities.

41. We can always give the input schema structure in the Output Editor
of Start activity.

42. The output schema structure can be specified in the Input Editor of
the Mapper Activity.

43. When an activity is first dragged from a palette to the design panel, the activity’s input
elements are displayed as hints. These hints show you the data the activity expects as
input. Each element can be required or optional or repeating. Required elements must have
a mapping or formula specified.

44. You map data by selecting an item in the Process Data panel, then
drag and drop that item into the desired schema element you wish
to map in the Activity Input panel.

45. When you perform mapping, simple mappings appear in the formula area next to the input
element after you release the mouse button. For more complex mappings, the Mapping
Wizard dialog allows you to select which kind of mapping you wish to perform.

46. Most options in the Mapping Wizard dialog are straightforward.
However, there are some complex scenarios that require multiple
steps.

47. You can specify XPath formulas to transform an element if you need to perform more
complex processing.
The XPath Formula Builder allows you to easily create XPath formulas.

48. Input: •Output:

49. There are some statements that are used to convert a hint into a
statement without performing any mapping. They are as follows:
Surround With If
Surround With For Each
Surround With For Each Group
Surround With Choice

50. When you select an element in the Activity Input schema and right-
click, a popup menu appears. The Statement menu item contains
several sub-items that are useful shortcuts for creating statements.

51. Surround with If:
An if statement is used to surround other statements in an XSLT template
to perform conditional processing.
If the test attribute evaluates to true, the statements in the if are output,
otherwise they are not output.

52. Surround with For-Each:
A shortcut for moving the current element into a For-Each statement
performs the specified statements once for each item in the selected
node.
This is useful if you wish to process each item of a repeating element once.

53. Surround with For-Each-Group:
A shortcut for moving the current element into a For-Each-Group statement and adding a
Group-By grouping statement.
Groups the items in a list by a specified element. This statement requires a Grouping statement
to specify which element to group-by.
You may need to convert a flat list of items into a more structured list. For example, you may
have list of all orders that have been completed. You may want to organize that list so that you
can group the orders placed by each customer.
This scenario typically occurs when you retrieve records from a relational database and the
records must be structured differently.

54. Surround with Choice:
A shortcut for adding a choice statement and its associated conditions or
otherwise statements around the currently selected element.

55.  There are four types of variables available in TIBCO BW. They
are
Global Variables
Process Variables
Shared Variables
Job shared Variables

56. Global variables are the static variables and they can be set
during the run time.
TIBCO Global variables allow you to specify constants that can
be used throughout the project.
Advantages:
1) Easy Reuse of variables in multiple places in the project
2) Easy to change global variables value in TIBCO
Administrator.

57.  Process variables are data structures available to the activities
in the process.
 Scope of the Process variable is with-in the process in which
it has been declared.
 Assign Activity is used for assigning values to the process
variables

58.  Shared variables allow you to specify data for use across multiple process instances.
 Scope of the shared variable is it can be used in the entire project.
 Get Shared Variable and Set Shared variable activities are used for retrieving and
setting the data for a shared variable.

59.  A Job Shared Variable resource is similar to a Shared Variable, but
its scope is limited to the current job.
 A copy of the variable is created for every instance
 It is used for passing data to and from sub-processes .
 Get Shared Variable and Set Shared variable activities are used
for retrieving and setting the data for a shared variable.

60. A database is an organized collection of data so that we can access
the data easily.
It stores the data in the form of files. It can store data in the form of
tables, but there will be no relation between the tables. So, we go for
Relational Data Base management systems.

61. SQL stands for Structured Query Language. SQL is the standard
language for relational database management systems.
SQL Commands:
 Create
 Select
 Insert
 Update
 Delete
 Drop

63. Activity Action
JDBC Query Performs the specified SQL SELECT
statement
JDBC Update Performs the specified SQL INSERT,
UPDATE, or DELETE statement.
SQL Direct Executes an SQL statement that you supply
JDBC Call Procedure calls a database procedure or function using
the specified JDBC connection.
