Software Configuration Guidelines for FC

It is important to configure your TIBCO Fulfillment Catalog correctly to enhance your system performance. TIBCO recommends planning and completing the configuration in conjunction with appropriate performance testing and tuning.

TIBCO recommends the following best practices:

  • Use MDM Configurator to create the Fulfillment Catalog enterprise.
  • While using the full or partial import, use the template provided by TIBCO Fulfillment Catalog. To generate the template, navigate to FulfillmentCatalog Operation->Export FC data->Blank Template.
  • When importing data (generated by another enterprise) into an enterprise, make sure that drop down values are in sync between those two enterprises. For example, for PRODUCT repository in the importing enterprise, the RECORD_TYPE drop-down should have all those values which were present in the exporting enterprise.
  • Whenever any repository is modified (either an attribute is added or deleted), the corresponding data source and Input Map must be updated before using the Full or Partial Import feature so that the feature works correctly.
