It is allowed to retrieve configuration data about interchange header, group header, delimiters, guideline, schema and conversion maps from the TIBCO BusinessConnect configuration store by TIBCO BusinessConnect ConfigStore Management Interface (CMI) protocol, and then to perform conversion and/or validation using the private process.
TIBCO BusinessConnect B2BPlugin for CMI supports four protocols: B2B-X12, B2B-EDIFACT, B2B-TEXT, and B2B-TRADACOMS. All four protocols support sending out of the relevant protocol data and receiving this data from the private process.
