BC Connection Shared Resource

BC Connection Shared Resource is a shared resource that describes the characteristics of the connection to BusinessConnect server. This shared resource is used when a business process needs to connect to BusinessConnect server.

The configuration of the BC Connection shared resource includes connecting to BusinessConnect Configuration Store, from where the relevant information about the business protocol to be used for the transactions, such as the enabled operations, schema of the relevant business documents and so on, are extracted and loaded to BusinessWorks design time. The communication transport between BusinessConnect and BusinessWorks processes, either TIBCO Rendezvous or EMS, is also set automatically on BusinessWorks side, according to the configuration on BusinessConnect side.

When you import the business protocol information from the TIBCO BusinessConnect configuration store, a folder named BCSchemas, containing imported schemas of all relevant business documents, becomes available.

Note: Do not rename the BCShemas folder, which is hard-coded and shared. This folder is accessed through a configured path and its name must be preserved.

To configure the BC Connection resource:

Procedure

Configure fields in the Server Access tab to create a connection to the database used for the configuration store.
Click Update from Configuration Store in the Configuration tab to connect to the TIBCO BusinessConnect configuration store and fetch the private process and protocol configuration.
Click Import Selected Business Protocol to import the configuration of the selected business protocol and operations from the TIBCO BusinessConnect configuration store.
Click Save.
Configure fields in the Transport tab. The transport type for the communication between BusinessConnect and BusinessWorks private processes has already been configured on BusinessConnect side by using TIBCO Administrator, as explained in TIBCO BusinessConnect Trading Partner Administration Guide, Private Process Configuration. Using TIBCO Business Studio, you can override the settings using the provided GUI, but the transport type cannot be changed.
