Chapter 3 Exchanging Documents : Creating Private Processes

Creating Private Processes
The final step in configuring TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream for EDI message exchange is creating private processes to interface to the protocol.
TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream will exchange EDI messages with your trading partners, but it does not perform mapping or routing of transaction message data to your internal applications.
Use TIBCO Designer or TIBCO Business Studio to design and implement private processes or you can use TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO Enterprise Message ServiceTM programming API to implement your standalone private process.
Figure 7 shows the flow of messages through a system using TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream and TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks.

You can use TIBCO Designer or TIBCO Business Studio to create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks processes, which act as private processes to map and route the data. TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream can exchange messages with TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks in XML or EDI format.
TIBCO BusinessConnect Activities
You can use TIBCO BusinessConnect activities to enable communication between TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks processes and TIBCO BusinessConnect engine.
You must install TIBCO BusinessConnect Palette or TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for BusinessConnect in your existing TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks installation before trying to design processes that interface to TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream.
After installing the required software, the TIBCO BusinessConnect activities are displayed in TIBCO Designer or TIBCO Business Studio. You can use one of these activities to connect to the TIBCO BusinessConnect Configuration Store and import the XSDs for your guidelines into TIBCO Designer or TIBCO Business Studio. These XSDs are then used for mapping XML data between your application systems and TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream.
For further information on the activities available for interfacing from TIBCO Designer to TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream, see TIBCO BusinessConnect Palette User’s Guide.
For further information on the activities available for interfacing from TIBCO Business Studio to TIBCO BusinessConnect EDI Protocol powered by Instream, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for BusinessConnect.
