Setting Up a System Participant

When you assign a concrete WSDL to a web service task TIBCO Business Studio automatically creates a system participant and assigns it to the web service task.

The system participant will, as part of the deployment process, be configured to identify a BPM runtime HTTP Client resource instance that defines the connection to the web service. (You will create this resource instance later in this tutorial.)

You do not need to configure the system participant. However, if you want to see its properties you need to perform some steps.

Procedure

  1. Select the AddressService_Consumer participant. (This participant is defined at the Package level.)
  2. On the Properties view for the participant, General tab, expand the Shared Resource entry.
  3. Change the HTTP Client Instance name to UKAddressWebService. You can if you prefer leave this value unchanged, but you should keep a note of what name you do use here. One of the following must apply:
    • The name matches an existing resource instance on the BPM runtime,
    • You subsequently use the TIBCO Administrator to create a resource instance that matches this name,
    • During deployment you map this name to an existing resource instance with a different name. See Deploying the Application for how to do this.
