SmartMapper Life Cycle
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for SmartMapper provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface to maintain cross-referencing relationships for various applications.
- Model Phase
In this phase, you build your own relationships between applications by creating a SmartMapper ER Model.
Each SmartMapper ER Model is assigned to one persistent storage. If multiple SmartMapper ER Models are created, they must be separated. That is, a relationship only refers to entities in its own SmartMapper ER Model.
- Assemble Phase
In this phase, you assemble your relationships that are created in the model phase. That is, configure a business process.
There are two ways to configure a process, using individual activities in SmartMapper Palette, or using the SmartMapper Wizard, which is useful in case of a large number of lookups.
- Deployment Phase
In this phase, you attach the BusinessWorks process to a physical architecture.
You can deploy your BusinessWorks application by using an ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks engine which is configured with SmartMapper activities.
- Management Phase
In this phase, you manage your relationship data by using SmartMapper Business UI, which is a web-based application. See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for SmartMapper Business UI User's Guide for more details.
