Plug-in Overview

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in for Mobile Integration (BWMI) enables sending push notifications to Apple iOS and Google Android applications from TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Enterprise processes.

With tremendous growth of smart phones and tablets, the mobility sector is getting at the core of IT strategy. It has become increasingly important to integrate mobile applications into business processes. ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in for Mobile Integration provides a solution to this market demand. It integrates TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Enterprise with mobile platforms by:

  • Allowing the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Enterprise processes to send push notifications to a mobile device in a reliable way
  • Facilitating the ordered delivery of the push notifications

To receive push notifications on your mobile device from an application provider:

  1. Install a mobile application from that application provider.
  2. After installing, the application must register itself with the notification service and receive a device token.
  3. The device token must be shared with the notification server.
    Note: Before you start your mobile notifications development, do consider that the device tokens may change as per the platform vendor's guidelines.
  4. The application sends this device token and any other user-specific information to the application provider's server.

The application provider can now send notifications to the mobile device on which the application was installed. This is done through the platform providers’ push notification service using the device token.
