Chapter 4 TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Private Processes Tutorial : Overview

Overview
You can use TIBCO BusinessConnect SOAP Protocol to exchange data with a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks installation that is acting as a private process and the interface to enterprise back office systems.
Two operations are defined in the sample interface file:
PONotify   This operation is used only when the initiator requires an acknowledgment from the responder to verify business document receipt.
POSync   This is a synchronous request-response operation that is used when the initiator and the responder do a more complex business exchange of business documents.
Only the PONotify operation is used in this tutorial.
You must have the TIBCO BusinessConnect palette working as a plug-in of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks to communicate with TIBCO BusinessConnect.
You must install TIBCO BusinessConnect Palette or TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for BusinessConnect after installing TIBCO BusinessConnect, so the BusinessConnect palette is installed with TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks.
TIBCO BusinessConnect palette consists of several activities, which work in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks processes for sending and receiving messages from TIBCO BusinessConnect. By using TIBCO BusinessConnect palette, you can also connect to TIBCO BusinessConnect configuration store to import the configurations of SOAP operations, which is useful in the interactions with TIBCO BusinessConnect SOAP Protocol.
TIBCO Designer and TIBCO Business Studio are the design time tools of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks processes. You can use TIBCO Designer or TIBCO Business Studio to design TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks processes and interact with TIBCO BusinessConnect SOAP Protocol.
See TIBCO BusinessConnect Palette User’s Guide or TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for BusinessConnect User’s Guide.
The TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Project Tutorial
The TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks project tutorial is included in the TIBCO BusinessConnect SOAP Protocol installation in the TIBCO_HOME/bc/version_number/protocols/soap/samples/bcpalette directory.
Two files are in this directory:
bcpalette.zip  This file is used with TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.
bcpalette_for_bw6.zip This file is used with TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.
The tutorial demonstrates the use of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks to interact with TIBCO BusinessConnect SOAP Protocol. Knowledge of TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks, TIBCO BusinessConnect SOAP Protocol, and business-to-business is a prerequisite to run this tutorial.
These simple samples have been designed to illustrate the TIBCO BusinessConnect activities available in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks. In a real-life scenario, the requesting TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks engine would perform a lot of processing to generate a request. Likewise, the receiving TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks engine would also perform a lot of processing and transformation from the request received from TIBCO BusinessConnect server to integrate with the backend systems.
To use TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks as a private process, it must connect to TIBCO BusinessConnect configuration store to retrieve SOAP operation configurations.
Transactions
The PONotify operation consists of the following message flows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
A detailed diagram of the PONotify operation is displayed in Figure 5.
