Team Organization Guidelines

Consider carefully the management of changes to the product catalog during development. Any TIBCO Order Management - Long Running project has a single product catalog, so changes to it have to be managed properly to avoid unnecessary delays and unintended impacts. Consider maintaining centralized control over changing the product model, rather than all developers on the team to make changes.

Consider also how changes to the catalog are performed. In a development environment, where new entries often have to be added to TIBCO Product and Service Catalog in bulk, it might be worth considering an approach where data related to the product model is prepared outside TIBCO Product and Service Catalog (for example, in a spreadsheet or csv files), and then imported into the catalog periodically before publishing to TIBCO Order Management - Long Running. Care needs to be taken so that sufficient validation of the external data entry is performed. If this approach is adopted, it is worth investing the time to thoroughly understand how TIBCO Master Data Management processes imported data.
