The final step in configuring TIBCO BusinessConnect B2BPlugin for CMI for EDI message exchange is creating private processes to interface to the protocol.
TIBCO BusinessConnect B2BPlugin for CMI 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 to design and implement private processes or you can use TIBCO Rendezvous or TIBCO Enterprise Message Service
TM programming API to implement your standalone private process.
Figure 1 shows the flow of messages through a system using TIBCO BusinessConnect B2BPlugin for CMI and TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks.
You can use the TIBCO Designer to create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks processes, which act as private processes to map and route the data. TIBCO BusinessConnect B2BPlugin for CMI can exchange messages with TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks in EDI format.
The TIBCO BusinessConnect Palette contains TIBCO BusinessConnect activities that enable the communication between TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks processes and TIBCO BusinessConnect engine.
You must install this palette in your existing TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks installation before trying to design processes that interface to TIBCO BusinessConnect B2BPlugin for CMI.
Once TIBCO BusinessConnect Palette is installed, the TIBCO BusinessConnect activities will appear in TIBCO Designer. One of these activities allows you to connect to the TIBCO BusinessConnect Configuration Store and import the operations into TIBCO Designer.
For further information on the activities available for interfacing from TIBCO Designer to TIBCO BusinessConnect B2BPlugin for CMI, see
TIBCO BusinessConnect Palette Reference.
