Creating the Organization Model

This section covers the steps involved in creating the organization model.

Creating the Organization Model   

1. At design-time, the business analyst and solution designer create an organization model and deploy it to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM.
   Note: The design-time model is an abstract view that does not include resources (users).
2. At runtime, an administrator uses the Organization Browser to perform the following tasks:
   1. Create LDAP containers. An LDAP container defines a collection of LDAP sources, which are aliases for connections to LDAP-compliant corporate directories. These directories contain details of potential resources (users) who may need to use or participate in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM applications.

      The connection represented by an LDAP source must be defined in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix runtime using LDAP connection and LDAP authentication shared resources. (This can be done when TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is installed, or later using TIBCO Administrator.)

      Both an LDAP source and an LDAP connection shared resource can (optionally) be configured to define a base Distinguished Name (DN) to use as their search base for all searches. With this flexibility, an administrator can create as many or as few LDAP containers as they need, each providing access to the desired subset of information available from the corporate directories.

   2. Add resources (users) to TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM from the LDAP containers.
   3. Assign those resources to positions and/or groups in the deployed organization model.
