Adapters Overview

� TIBCO Adapter™ software enables IT organizations to make applications, databases and technologies active participants in business processes as part of a service-oriented architecture (SOA).

� Adapters provide a configuration-based approach to enable the exchange of information via publish/subscribe or point-to-point messaging.

� Standard - Built on Java and C++

� Types of Adapters

� Application Adapters - enable the rapid integration of enterprise applications from leading vendors.

� Database Adapters - make databases full participants in business processes by enabling them to easily share information with other databases and applications

� Network Technology Adapters - enables integration with component or object-based development models and with other messaging technologies

� Custom Built Adapters - TIBCO Adapters Software Development Kit (SDK) helps IT organizations build adapters for custom or specialized applications.


Capabilities and Attributes� Application Adapters

� Provide shared XML metadata definitions, standard error handling and reporting, and GUI administration tools

� Available for: SAP R/3, Siebel, PeopleSoft, Oracle, Clarify, Lotus Notes, Portal Infranet, Kenan/BP, SWIFT, and other common technologies

� Database Adapters

� Supports the real-time importation and exportation of data

� Enables the reuse of stored procedures across the organization

� Available for: Oracle, DB2, MS SQL Server, Teradata, Sybase, and others

� Network Technology Adapters� Can expand native capabilities with publish/subscribe messaging and load-

balancing

� Available for: COM, CORBA, EJB, Tuxedo, LDAP, and Websphere MQ

� Custom Built Adapters (SDK)� Reduces cost of integration by providing templates

� Helps creating custom adapters using the infrastructure that provides the rich functionality and proven performance of packaged adapters.


Benefits

� Unlocks information and assets for active sharing with other enterprise resources.

� Reduces network traffic, and thus improves system performance, by eliminating repetitive batch requests for information and updates.

� Reduces cost-of-ownership of individual systems and the infrastructure as a whole by replacing rigid point-to-point connections with n-way integration via TIBCO’s inherently service-oriented Information Bus architecture.

� Simplifies administration of the integration environment through subject-based (topic based) naming that eliminates the need to specify senders and recipients.

iProcess Overview

� TIBCO iProcess Suite is a comprehensive suite of Business Process

Management (BPM) software that enables organizations to streamline the

internal and external processes and tasks that span and make up their

business.

� It enables the organization to collaborate on the modeling, execution and

continuous improvement of business processes that span their organization.

� It consists of the following components:

� iProcess Modeler – Easily defines complex process flows involving applications and people

� iProcess Decisions - Lets business users model, analyze, test and manage business rules

� iProcess Engine - Execution Engine

� iProcess Analytics – Tool to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of business processes at the aggregate or granular level

� BusinessWorks software serves as the integration platform for iProcess Suite. By combining these two products, organizations are able to realize

the combined benefit of BPM in an SOA.



� iProcess Modeler� Easily defines complex process flows involving applications and people

� iProcess Decisions� Spreadsheet-like interface enables business users model, analyze, test and

manage business rules eliminating reliance on IT� Lets changing process rules without changing the process itself

� iProcess Engine� Rich process orchestration capabilities with full support for dynamic sub-

processes and ad-hoc routing.

� allows modifications to single run-time process instances � proven to handle extremely high-volume transactions across multiple

servers. - Supports virtually unlimited scalability.

� iProcess Analytics� Includes templates for common process metrics such as throughput, cycle

time, cost, resource usage and frequency

� Can be augmented with custom metrics


Benefits

� Improves visibility and decision by observing process performance, comparing current results to historical data and desired performance.

� Improves corporate agility by enabling the rapid adaptation of processes with limited support from IT. Business users can modify specific process instances or every instance by setting rules based on key metrics.

� Reduces operating costs by automating time-consuming and error-prone manual tasks.

� Fosters business/IT collaboration. Business users initially define the process map based on their understanding of business goals and requirements. IT staff can then work with process owners to modify and deploy the process definition in the way that best utilizes the company’s IT infrastructure.

be repaired automatically to keep business processes running smoothly.

� Provides database storage of all events for application uptime and service level agreement (SLA) reports.

� Distributed Architecture for Reliability and Scalability� Fault-tolerant because of the independent nature and operation of individual

agents

� Based on a distributed architecture that utilizes autonomous agents

� Can scale to multi-thousand node global networks without hierarchical

managers� Enables the addition and modification of individual managed entities without

reconfiguring other parts of the system


Benefits

� Reduces unscheduled outages and slowdowns by enabling the definition and execution of sophisticated rule bases that initiate automatic responses to pre-defined exception conditions.

� Helps system administrators more quickly identify and resolve all kinds of system problems with severity wise color-coded alerts, and automatic notification when situations require their attention.

� Minimizes network traffic and reduces latency with distributed agent-based rules that handle management at the end points and notify relevant systems and administrators on an event-driven basis.

� Improves visibility into all network management activity throughintegration with enterprise management systems such as HP OpenView, Tivoli and Unicenter.
