About Private Messages

Private messages are exchanged between a private process and the local BusinessConnect Container Edition installation. Private messages can contain a request, response, or notification document. The private process handles conversion from internal to public data and back.

  • On the Initiator side, the private process converts internal data to a notification document.
  • On the Responder side, the private process receives a request and converts it to an internal company format.

You can generate private messages from TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks private processes that use the TIBCO BusinessConnect Palette.

The BusinessConnect Container Edition server has two major roles:

  • Initiator: This role receives request messages from private processes and transmits the Services Plug-in documents to your trading partners.
  • Responder: This role receives Services Plug-in documents from trading partners and submits the converted request messages to their private processes.
