Tutorial - Getting Started

In this tutorial you use TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks and TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition EDI Protocol powered by Instream running on one machine to send a 850 transaction using the Gateway protocol to a trading partner.

Normally the trading partner is represented by another B2B engine running on another machine. However, this tutorial is run on a single machine and when the 850 is sent to the trading partner, the transport properties are defined to store the request in a directory on the local file system.

The identifier information is as follows:

When you run the tutorial, the following steps occur:

1. TIBCO Business Studio reads a file which contains the data for 850.
2. TIBCO Business Studio sends the EDI data to TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition EDI Protocol powered by Instream.
3. TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition EDI Protocol powered by Instream sends the interchange to the trading partner without validating it.
4. FILE transport is used to simulate sending an interchange to a trading partner. By using FILE transport, the interchange is written to a file on the local file system when it is sent to the trading partner.

The following sections describe how to set up and run the tutorial. The steps involved in setting up TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition EDI Protocol powered by Instream to run the tutorial are the same steps that have been discussed in TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition EDI Protocol powered by Instream, User’s Guide, "Exchanging Documents":
