The Domain Designer is a Module within the Design Studio Workbench Application.
To design any model using the Design Studio, the first step is to import the required (or all) T24 application metadata
like CUSTOMER, ACCOUNT, etc., into the local Design Studio workspace as a text file. Models use the metadata
from the T24 applications for their design. Core Banking Applications are stored as local *.domain text files.

Design Studio Packager

Package your T24-Packager-TAFJ Project
Overview
When you created the t24-packager-tafj project, automatically a project called “ft-modelbank-packager” has been
added. This project allows you to package your entire solution, including basic routines (.b files) and data files (.d
files) from your *-data-code project, your models from your *-models project and the created resources from your
*-models-gen project. The packager will create one single jar-file that you can install into your target environment.
8. Create a Package
8.1 Create a new workspace and t24-packager-tafj project
Pre-requisite for the packaging is that your project is error-free. Because of that, please
 Create a new workspace called T24-Packager
 Inside this workspace, create a new t24-packager-tafj project with exactly the same parameters as in the
previous t24-packager-tafj creation exercise. As the projects are stored in different workspaces, it is no problem
that you use the same parameters.
8.2 T24-Packager-TAFJ Package

In the following exercises, you will package your newly created t24-packager-tafj project from your T24-Packager
workspace.
1. Right-click on “Launch T24 Packager

(TAFJ) Launch”
3. Click on “Launch T24 Packager (TAFJ)” 2. Click on “Run As”

Result: The Console will show a “Build Success” message.
1. Go to your Workspace folder
2. Double-click on “ft-modelbank-packager”

2. Double-click on “target”
You can find your JAR-

file here. Install this
JAR file into your target
environment.

Workshop 8.1 in Words – New Workspace and t24-packager-tafj project

 Create a new Workspace called T24-Packager.
 Inside this workspace, create a new t24-packager-tafj project with exactly the same
