Chapter 5 Introduction to Transactional Business Process Automation : Using Enterprise Application Integration Steps in Procedures

Using Enterprise Application Integration Steps in Procedures
To keep control of external transactions with third party applications and to keep the transactions under the control of the transaction manager, you can use EAI steps in your procedure definition. There are different types of EAI step used to communicate with different types of external system. For example:
The EAI Database step is used to communicate with database stored procedures so you can use existing business logic in your procedures. Refer to the TIBCO iProcess™ Modeler - Integration Techniques Guide for more information about installing and using EAI Database steps.
The COM+ EAI step is used so that iProcess can communicate with a COM+ application. Refer to the TIBCO iProcess™ COM Plug-in: User’s Guide for more information about installing and using the COM EAI step.
An EAI step causes the iProcess background to call-out to an application defined sub-system in order to perform some work. In the MSDTC version, this work may be included within the current distributed transaction, hence combining data updates performed by that work with the data updates performed as part of the workflow case processing.
Refer to “Using Enterprise Application Integration Steps” in the TIBCO iProcess Modeler - Integration Techniques Guide for more information about using EAI steps.
