Product Overview

BusinessConnect™ Container Edition ConfigStore Management Interface Protocol is a set of message-based interfaces that allows the private processes to interact with the TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition server to retrieve or update configuration data. It acts as a service to other protocols based on TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition to facilitate management of trading partners and business agreements.

CMI Protocol performs bulk creation of trading partners and business agreements, or bulk changes in their configurations. Here is the high-level architecture diagram for the CMI Protocol.

CMI Protocol has the following characteristics:

It is integrated with BusinessConnect™ Container Edition for the functions Operations Editor and Audit Log Viewer.
It is not enabled for a specific participant or bound to a specific business agreement.
It involves interactions with the private processes, but not the interactions with trading partners.
Protocol level properties can be retrieved or updated but not created.
Only the BusinessConnect Container Edition level functions can be configured using CMI Protocol, such as:
Participants (Business Locations, Contacts, Transports, Setting Proxy, Credentials, DomainIDs, and Enabled Protocols)
Business Agreements (Document Exchange, Setting Transports, Setting Operation Bindings for Protocol, and Scheduled Transmissions)
Audit Logs
READ Operations

Other settings, such as user access for participants or business agreements, can be configured only using the BusinessConnect Container Edition Admin server.
