User Interface Integration
TIBCO Order Management - Low Latency, and TIBCO Product and Service Catalog interact with each other to provide complete fulfillment solution. TIBCO Fulfillment Provisioning, another optional component, enhances the overall fulfillment capability by providing a network provisioning system capable to connect directly to network elements.
The interaction among the three components is fully configurable through the user interface to maintain their anonymity and to ensure that they can work independently.
TIBCO Fulfillment Provisioning configuration is done through editable files including script files, such as data mappers, cartridge configuration files, and routing services. The catalog configuration allows you to define all the product catalog related concepts, service catalog related concepts and both depending on what catalog components are deployed. The service catalog determines services and orders associated with a rendering process.
The BPMN standard is used for process modeling. It provides a single and standard process modeling interface for both TIBCO Order Management - Low Latency and TIBCO Fulfillment Provisioning.
TIBCO Order Management - Low Latency and TIBCO Fulfillment Subscriber Inventory Integration
TIBCO Fulfillment Subscriber Inventory component allows external users to assign inventory for customers against orders. These inventories are stored in the TIBCO Fulfillment Subscriber Inventory store. When an order for the same customer and product is made again, the TIBCO Order Management - Low Latency Automated Order Plan Development engine synchronizes the inventories for the customer from TIBCO Fulfillment Subscriber Inventory and generates the plan accordingly. The TIBCO Order Management - Low Latency interface supplies the inventory to Automated Order Plan Development to be taken into account when the plan generation occurs or when a request is made for an execution plan.
