In the Configuration tab, you can configure BC connection information.

The Configuration tab of the BC Connection shared resource consists of the General panel and BusinessConnect Configuration panel.

The following table lists the configurations in the General panel of the Configuration tab of the BC Connection shared resource:

Field Module Property? Description
Package No The name of the package where the new shared resource is added.

BusinessConnect Configuration

In the BusinessConnect Configuration panel, you can provide the information of the TIBCO BusinessConnect server that the plug-in connects to.

The following table lists the configurations in the BusinessConnect Configuration panel of the Configuration tab of the BC Connection shared resource:

Field Module Property? Description
Server No The installation name of the TIBCO BusinessConnect server.

This field is read-only. The plug-in retrieves information from the configuration store after a successful connection to the database used by TIBCO BusinessConnect.

PP Transport No The transport type for the BusinessWorks private process to communicate with BusinessConnect: TIBCO Rendezvous or JMS.

This field is read-only. The BC Connection shared resource retrieves information from the configuration store after a successful connection to the database used by TIBCO BusinessConnect.

Update Transport Settings No An update of the transport settings from the configuration store and overwrite any custom transport settings specified in the Transport tab of this shared resource. Clear the check box to retrieve only protocol-specific settings.
Note: During the initial configuration of a connection resource, this check box is selected, and you cannot clear it until you retrieve the transport settings the first time. After the first time, you can select or clear this check box.
Protocol Name No The available protocols. This list is populated by using information from the configuration store which consists of all the available and enabled protocols configured on BusinessConnect side.

You can select one protocol, for which the further information such as all the operations to be used in the BusinessWorks processes has to be retrieved from the configuration store. If you want to communicate with multiple protocols, you must have multiple shared resources, one for each protocol.

Select Operations No Whether to select specific operations.
This check box is available only if the selected protocol includes one or more operations and supports defining which operations to import instead of importing all operations.
  • If you select the check box, the Select Operations page is displayed with a list of operations for the protocol. Select the check box next to each operation you want to import or update, and then click OK.
  • If you clear this check box, TIBCO BusinessConnect imports all operations for the selected protocol.
Note: Click Import Selected Business Protocol to import the list of selected operations.
Imported Operations No A list of operations that are imported from the configuration store.
Use Smart ID Yes An identifier for the private process instance used for private process smart routing. Event Source activities of the plug-in, such as the ReceiveRequest/Notification and ReceiveResponse activities, that reference a shared resource can inherit the smart ID if you enable smart routing for the event source activities. You can also override an inherited smart ID by providing a different smart ID in the event source.

The use of private process smart routing requires that you define business rules in the TIBCO BusinessConnect console.

See Configuring Private Processes for Smart Routing for detailed information.

If you select the Use Smart ID check box, the Smart ID field is displayed.

Smart ID Yes An identifier for the private process instance used for a private process smart routing.

This field is displayed only when you select the Use Smart ID check box.
