I want to find the configuration file for application configurations in Tibco administrator. Then I can know all runtime configurations of my application.

enter image description here

I tried to findout in the path /opt/sw/tibco/tra/domain/SOADEV/datafiles/[my app]_root but this configuration is out of date, and is not latest configuration.

Here is example:

The configuration file contains "ExchangeRate" item

enter image description here

Tibco Admin doesn't display ExchangeRate item (in path Global/Vn)

tibco/tra/domain/[ENV_NAME]/datafiles/[my app]_root is actually right place where all Global variables values and package code are stored after package deployment.

I am guessing you are looking to the wrong package or something wrong with the deployment. All global variables should be stored in

[my app]_root\defaultVars\defaultVars.substvar

or subfolders

[my app]_root\defaultVars\[folder_name]\defaultVars.substvar

the variable can be deployment settable and service settable. Please see more details here https://community.tibco.com/questions/difference-between-global-variables-earservice-and-service-instance-levels

Also there are several ways global variables can be overridden. Please see https://support.tibco.com/s/article/Tibco-KnowledgeArticle-Article-47854

1). In Designer -> Global Variables panel, click the pencil icon (Open Advanced Editor) at top right, select the global variable and right click ->  “Override Variable”.

2). Use the Project -> “Save as” option to save as a new project. Global variables will then be editable.

3). Go to Tester -> "Advanced" test settings with the "-p PATH/properties.cfg" argument, with PATH being the absolute path and properties the file that override global variables.

4).Change the variable in TIBCO administrator GUI during deployment.

5). Manually edit the bwengine.tra.

  • thanks @David, I checked global variables in your paths. I see that they include many variables that doesn't show on Tibco admin, although they have property: true How can I know what are variables will show on Tibco admin ? – taibc Aug 05 '21 at 23:03
  • @tabic GV with true should be available in tibco admin. Just try to undeploy package. check that nothing is in tibco/tra/domain/[ENV_NAME]/datafiles/[my app]_root and deploy again. – David Abragimov Aug 06 '21 at 14:19
  • When I undeploy then there is no [my app]_root folder. After that, I deploy again, the folder is available, but it still contains many variables that disappear on Tibco admin – taibc Aug 06 '21 at 15:26

    @tabic can you post example global variable that is missing and also how this variable defined in the source code ? You can rename to some random value. – David Abragimov Aug 07 '21 at 14:16

  • I posted an example in my question. Please see above. Thanks – taibc Aug 08 '21 at 15:37
  • Have you checked that configuration not overridden in properties.cfg and bwengine.tra ? – David Abragimov Aug 08 '21 at 15:45
  • not clear from the example if you have missing GV in source code. for me it looks like you have multiple servers for DEV/PROD environments and some of the GV configuration defined on properties file on server level. something like https://support.tibco.com/s/article/Tibco-KnowledgeArticle-Article-33614 or may be set as command line https://support.tibco.com/s/article/Tibco-KnowledgeArticle-Article-23290 you should see the configuration in bwengine.tra – David Abragimov Aug 08 '21 at 16:05
  • I checked the bwengine.tra file, but no overridden found. I can't find the file properties.cfg in my tibco folder – taibc Aug 08 '21 at 23:13
  • I updated my pictures in the question to clarify – taibc Aug 08 '21 at 23:18
