Getting Started

This tutorial is designed for the beginners who want to use TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for SAP in TIBCO Business Studio.

All the operations are performed in TIBCO Business Studio. See TIBCO Business Studio Overview to get familiar with TIBCO Business Studio.

A basic procedure of using TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for SAP includes:
  1. Creating a Project
  2. Creating and Configuring an SAP Connection
  3. (Optional) Creating and Configuring an SAP TIDManager Shared Resource
  4. Configuring a Process
  5. Testing a Process
  6. Deploying an Application
Note: When configuring the shared resources or activities, you might find that some fields inherit the module properties. If you want to specify those fields, you have to specify the corresponding module properties in the Module Properties tab of the Module Properties editor.
  • Creating a Project
    The first task using the plug-in is creating a project. After creating a project, you can add resources and processes.
  • Creating and Configuring an SAP Connection
    After creating a project, you can add an SAP Connection shared resource to establish connections between the plug-in and the SAP system.
  • Creating and Configuring an SAP TIDManager Shared Resource
    To manage the check of duplicate IDoc messages published from the SAP system, you can create an SAP TIDManager shared resource.
  • Configuring a Process
    After creating a project, an empty process is created. You can add activities to an empty process to complete a task.
  • Testing a Process
    After configuring a process, you can test the process to check whether the process completes your task.
  • Deploying an Application
    After testing, if the configured process works as expected, you can deploy the application that contains the configured process into a runtime environment, and then use the bwadmin utility to manage the deployed application.
