Integrating ActiveMatrix and BusinessWorks
Using the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks plug-in you can integrate ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5 and TIBCO BusinessEvents applications. Using the TIBCO BusinessEvents Java API you can integrate with TIBCO BusinessWorks 6.
This integration enables each product to take advantage of the strengths of the other. For example, ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks can use TIBCO BusinessEvents as a light-weight rules engine, and TIBCO BusinessEvents can use transports available in ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks.
This guide assumes you know how to work with ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks processes. See TIBCO BusinessWorks Process Design Guide if you need detailed guidance.
Integration components include an ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5 plug-in, which provides a palette of TIBCO BusinessEvents activities, and various TIBCO BusinessEvents functions. See Integration Components for details. You can use these components to do the following:
- More easily send and receive TIBCO BusinessEvents events using ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5 activities.
- Invoke TIBCO BusinessEvents rule functions from ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5 or 6.
This chapter explains how to configure the environment and use these features.
