Chapter 2 TIBCO BusinessConnect Architecture : TIBCO BusinessConnect Participants and Business Agreements

TIBCO BusinessConnect Participants and Business Agreements
TIBCO BusinessConnect participants and business agreements are described in the following parts.
Participants
Participants store a variety of information about trading partners, from the very general, for example, the location of the company headquarters; to the detailed, for example, security credentials and available protocols.
A participant profile details the basic identifying information for a host or partner and the required technical and security-related information.
Participant profiles include information about business agreements; participant type (host or partner); business locations including contacts; security credentials; and business protocols.
For more information on how to manage participants in TIBCO BusinessConnect, see TIBCO BusinessConnect Trading Partner Administration, Participants.
Business Agreements
A business agreement details all of the information on which you and your partner must agree before you can exchange business documents with each other. Agreements revolve in large part around the chosen protocols.
Each participant lists the protocols that are available for use by that participant. TIBCO BusinessConnect determines for you which protocols two participants have in common.
For each protocol enabled for document exchange between the two participants, the following protocol-specific information is required: transport method, valid operations, and security.
