How to Model a Simple Business Process in TIBCO Business Studio - Analyst Edition
TIBCO Business Studio - Analyst Edition is the version of TIBCO Business Studio that enables a business analyst to model a business process, design and preview forms, simulate the process, and store all the artifacts of the process in a single file. Its straightforward interface is suited to users doing high level or abstract modeling.
This tutorial shows you how to use TIBCO Business Studio - Analyst Edition to rapidly model a simple Motor Claims business process that represents part of the business of an insurance company. In this process:
- A motor insurance claim is assessed, as to whether it involves a fault or is a no-fault claim.
- Depending on the result of that assessment, processing passes to either one of two user tasks, one for fault and one for no-fault claims.
- Each task references the data fields defined for the corresponding business objects.
- The participants responsible for carrying out the user tasks are mapped to positions in a corresponding organization model.
You should work through each section in turn to complete the tutorial.
Key Points
Although it uses a very simple example, this tutorial demonstrates some of the fundamental points of the analysis phase for any business service:
- creating and assigning the business data required by the process
- designing the process flow
- creating and assigning the participants who will be involved in the process
- placing and describing tasks such as scripts (or services) that will be implemented later by the solution designer.
- saving the project as an archive file which you can pass on to a solution designer, who uses TIBCO Business Studio for the next stages of the development process
