Chapter 2 TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Methodology : Introduction

Introduction

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks components are designed to support development in phases and to let you seamlessly move from one phase to another.

•

Using TIBCO Designer, you configure services, for example, an adapter service.

•

You can then access the adapter service from activities inside the business process.

•

After you’ve configured adapter services and business processes, you can use TIBCO Designer to assign adapter services to adapters and processes to process engines. You assign each adapter and process engine to a machine in the administration domain and deploy the project to the run-time environment.

•

You can then start and stop the adapters and process engines using the TIBCO Administrator GUI and manage and monitor them from there.

Following the phases in sequence results in a fast deployment that closely meets the specifications. Note that as a rule, you perform analysis, installation, and services configuration only once, then iterate through the other phases until you have arrived at the optimal configuration.

This section gives an overview of each phase, using examples from the example scenario as appropriate (see Business Integration Scenario). A more detailed discussion for each phase is then given in a separate chapter.
