Configuring Async Mode for Southbound JMS Service

TIBCO API Exchange Gateway provides the capability to send a JMS southbound service asynchronously. Users can configure async mode for southbound service request using the Services tab on configuration GUI. When the southbound request is sent to the back-end service in async mode, no response is expected from the southbound service, and the gateway does not wait for any southbound response from the back-end service

After the async request is sent to the back-end service, a default northbound response payload is created and sent back as the northbound response. The default northbound response is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<response>Request sent asynchronously.</response>

Note: Users can use the reverse southbound mapping to customize the default northbound response.

Set the async mode for a service using the configuration GUI :
