Conceptual Workflow

This conceptual workflow section describes how TPM REST API processes a RESTful HTTP request.

Construct your RESTful HTTP request in accordance with description of the application.wadl description.

The application.wadl description is accessible from one of the following destinations:
  • access it from, for example, the TIBCO_HOME\tpm-rest\Version_Number\wadl directory.
  • download it from, for example, http://host:port_number/wadl/v1/application.wadl.

Workflow Sequence

  1. You send a RESTful HTTP request that is in accordance with the WADL description to TPM REST API.
  2. TPM REST API processes the request:
    1. REST Web Server translates the RESTful HTTP request into CRUD.
    2. Each CRUD function invokes a designated set of ConfigStore API.
    3. ConfigStore API commits the CRUD operation to ConfigStore database.
    4. REST Web Server translates the CRUD operation results into a RESTful HTTP response.
  3. TPM REST API sends back a RESTful HTTP response.
