Working of Web Services in TIBCO MDM
All web services in TIBCO MDM work on the request-response paradigm. Two parties can conduct electronic business by exchanging business documents.
The sending party (Sender) packages one or more documents into a request XML message which is then sent to the receiving party (Receiver). The Receiver processes the message contents, generates a response XML, which is returned to the Sender that originated the request. The Sender is informed of the status (successful or otherwise) of the request message delivery.
Examples of the Sender's documents could be purchase order requests, manufacturing information, and patient health care information. Examples of the Receiver's responses include order confirmations, change control information, and contractual acknowledgments.
