TIBCO iProcess Workspace and TIBCO iProcess Engine Communication

The TIBCO iProcess Engine uses a client/server model for communication where there is a two way communication path between each TIBCO iProcess Workspace client and TIBCO iProcess Engine server. The protocol used for this communication is called Remote Procedure Call (RPC).

Information keyed in at the client needs to be passed to the TIBCO iProcess Engine for processing. For example, when completing an insurance claim form, the new or updated data needs to be processed, stored, or updated so that subsequent steps can use the information. Information also needs to be passed from the TIBCO iProcess Engine to one of the TIBCO iProcess Workspaces, for example to tell the client what the next step in the business process is or show previous details about a work item that has already been entered.
