Configuring the Start Event to Receive a Message From a Client

When a process is exposing a request-response operation, the start event defines the request (Input) message which, when received from a client, will start the process. The start event must be configured as a message trigger type.

Defining a start event as a message trigger type causes TIBCO Business Studio to automatically generate:

  • an abstract WSDL file - this defines the service operation provided by the start event.
  • a system participant - this defines the endpoint URI that will be exposed by the process (in the form packageName/processName).

Procedure

  1. Select the Start Event.
  2. In the Properties view, General tab, change the Label to Get user’s name.
  3. Change the Trigger Type from None to Message Trigger. TIBCO Business Studio automatically generates a default service and operation for the Start Event, the details of which are displayed in the right-hand pane of the tab.
  4. Press CTRL + S to save the project. Note that two additional project artifacts have been automatically created:
    • a WSDL document, WelcomeUsersService.wsdl , in the Generated Services folder.
    • a system participant, WelcomeUsersService, in the package-level Participants folder.
