Start the TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management 4.0 Environment
This topic covers the steps to start the Fulfillment Order Management 4.0 environment:
Additional Configurations
Perform any additional configuration changes that are required using the Configurator web UI.
For example, Offer and Price Engine (OPE) requires the price and discount models for its functionalities. So the offline catalog directories for loading these models in the application should be configured here.
Cluster Setup
The migrated database already contains the cluster members that were running in the TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management 3.0.2 HF-4 environment. For running additional micro-services in a cluster or setting up a new cluster, refer to the "Deployment Topologies" section in the TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management Administration Guide.
Start all required server instances to start the configured TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management members in the cluster. Upon starting up, the engines will load the existing data models (product and action) from the database. As per the model loading configurations (online or offline), the additional data models will be loaded in the application and will also be stored into the database as explained in the "Data Models" section in TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management Administration Guide.
Monitor the logs of each member to ensure that all the members have started successfully. At this stage the TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management 4.0 environment is ready to process any incoming requests, but since there are no pending messages, processing will not occur.
Start Southbound Process Components
Start the process component system. The process components will start processing the plan item, execute, suspend, activate, and milestone release messages pending on the four outbound queues of Orchestrator and will also send the corresponding reply messages to Orchestrator. Orchestrator will process the incoming reply messages to move the state of the corresponding plan items appropriately. Based on this, it will also schedule the requests for the further plan items in the execution plan to fulfill the orders. With this way, the orders that were in-progress in Fulfillment Order Management 3.0.2 HF-4 before the upgrade will be processed in TIBCO Fulfillment Order Management 4.0.
Start Northbound System
Start the northbound systems (for example, Siebel) to submit the new orders to be fulfilled using Fulfillment Order Management 4.0.
