Where is the configuration file for application in Tibco administrator (version 5.3)

Question

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

I tried to findout in the path /opt/sw/tibco/tra/domain/SOADEV/datafiles/[my app]_root but this configuration is out of date, and is not latest configuration.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

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.
