Notify Operation

Notify is a one way operation that simply sends a document to the trading partner and receives an acknowledgement: it is not capable of receiving a response from the trading partner.

The operation flow in a Notify operation is shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10 Notify Operation

The following process flow occurs with the Notify operation:

1.

The Initiator private process sends a message to the Initiator TIBCO BusinessConnect.

2.

The Initiator TIBCO BusinessConnect retrieves relevant information and sends the message to the Responder TIBCO BusinessConnect.

3.

The Responder TIBCO BusinessConnect immediately sends a transport response (acknowledgment) to the Initiator TIBCO BusinessConnect on the same channel as the Initiator business request.

4.

The Responder TIBCO BusinessConnect then forwards the message to the local private process.

See Responder Inbound Request — BusinessConnect to Private Process. The Responder TIBCO BusinessConnect considers the operation as complete.

5.

The Initiator TIBCO BusinessConnect sends an INITIATOR.RESPONSE message to the private process.

See Initiator Inbound Response — BusinessConnect to Private Process. This message is sent independently from the Responder TIBCO BusinessConnect, which sends a RESPONDER.REQUEST message to the Responder private process.

Supported Transports for the Notify Operation are: HTTP, HTTPS, HTTPSCA, File, FTP, FTPS, SSHFTP, Email, AS1, and AS2.
