What is TIBCO BW CE???

Integration

BW CE is a middleware tool used for cloud

integration, development with cloud-native
features and deployment through containers.

To build consumable Web APIs out of

backend web services like SOAP,
REST,IBM MQ,SAP etc

To build focused business functionality-

oriented apps without getting into code
complexity

BW CE supports EMS, FTL, ActiveSpaces,

BPM, API Exchange, MDM, StreamBase, Live
Datamart or BusinessEvents
Features of BW CE
BW CE over BW 5.x

API-centric development for supporting PaaS platforms

1

2 BW CE is very lightweight. It can be deployed on Cloud Foundry PaaS. It is vendor-agnostic! We can also deploy it on
other cloud platforms(e.g. Docker, Kubernetes etc)

Focus on Agile based service it is important to support development lifecycle within one single IDE, CE supports all
3 stages such as development, debugging, testing, and deployment based out of Eclipse ecosystem

Support for mobile devices. The mobile plugin is send to send push messages to mobile devices
4

Automatic Warnings (e.g. if 0 is used for any flag value as true())

5
Continuation….

Creation of REST service is very simple. Swagger a simple yet powerful REST framework is used for testing REST
6 services. Swagger documentation is auto-generated, and provided for any REST endpoint build

SOA introduced the concept of compensations to revert actions after an exception occurs. BW CE offers
7 compensation handlers and a sophisticated, but easy model to define scopes with activities and exception handlers.

Concept of Properties with Variables. Process variables exist in one process instance while process properties exist
8 for all process instances. Properties are used to store the configuration and variables are used to store the state
Design in BW CE 2.1.0

• TIBCO CE is the TIBCO extended version of Eclipse with simple installation techniques

1
• We can install several plugins provided by Eclipse or TIBCO to model our application
in the intelligent canvas designed by Tibco on Eclipse IDE
2
• There are few changes in the palettes structuring( e.g. File palette has
been completely removed and SOAP has been modified to activities like

3 Invoke, Receive, Reply which are used in generalized form)

• Concept of Rest/JSON has been introduced

4
Continuation….

• Guide on BW CE basic concepts

5
• Concept of Scope has been introduced

6
• BW CE supports many applications in one single workspace i.e we can
create one or many processes in a single workspace

WebEX sessions on Design

Please refer to the Webex Please refer to the Webex Please refer to the Webex
session from the package session from the package session from the package
on HTTP palette. A sample on JDBC palette. A sample on JMS palette. A sample
process has been created to project on Book store to project on the request-
receive the request and fetch the data has been reply and receiver activites
send back the response taken has been taken
Run-Time BW CE 2.1.0

BW CE applications are hosted and executed on AppNode

where Container Edition engine runs

In the project design panel on right-click on the process

we can find the option to debug and run the BW
application

We can view the process instance details or can terminate

the session in the Debug pane

After the BW application successfully runs we get the

swagger url of the REST API which we can browse to see
the expected result
WebEX session on Run-Time

Please refer the webex Covers the step by step

session from package for a execution to run a BW
sample REST service application or applications
development and run-time into BW Container Edition
Deployment BW CE 2.1.0

CE services are designed on the cloud Based on the foundation of

implementation. The EAR files are Microservices architecture with
deployed in the containers on the full abidance on CI/CD
Docker, Cloud Foundry etc.

CLOUD

BW CE Buildpack provides
the runtime component to Tibco has provided the
deploy applications to a deployment files in the cloud
PCF(Pivotal Cloud Foundry) that can be downloaded either
deployment from git hub repository or
eDelivery
WebEX sessions on Design

Please refer the Webex Deploying EAR to the Covers the step by step
session for a sample EAR cloud. Taken into account command lines to deploy
file created for REST Docker containers to the application in Docker
service deploy the applications container
