Team Organization Guidelines
Consider carefully the management of changes to the product catalogue during development. Any TIBCO Fulfillment Orchestration Suite project will have a single product catalogue, so changes to it need to be managed properly in order to avoid unnecessary delays and unintended impacts. Consider maintaining centralized control over changing the product model, rather than allowing all developers on the team to make changes.
Consider also how changes to the catalogue are performed. In a development environment, where new entries often need to be added to TIBCO Fulfillment Catalog in bulk, it may be worth considering an approach where data related to the product model is prepared outside TIBCO Fulfillment Catalog (for example, in a spreadsheet or csv files), and then imported into the catalogue periodically before publishing to TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management. Care needs to be taken so that sufficient validation of the external data entry is performed. If this approach is adopted, it is worth investing the time to thoroughly understand how TIBCO MDM processes imported data.
