TIBCO Integration (including BusinessWorks and Flogo)

We had many legacy applications running within our private network with different programming languages and data formats(XML, JSON). We also developed new microservices where we transformed all the complex data to generate reports. Additionally, we wanted to collaborate with a few third-party services to utilize their services. Eventually, it became a complex architecture, and orchestration between all these services became difficult. Therefore, we started including the TIBCO integration tool to enhance the business with improved monitoring and cohesive application flow.

In BusinessWorks it is quite easy to develop applications and monitor where as it is not similar with Scribe. The data which successfully processed in Scribe is quite difficult to view. I think the Scribe console tool should have better view for the data it has processed.At times we founds some of our sales orders are missing which are unable to update/insert in the DB, after investigation found the issue is in Scribe tool. A case has been raised 02129657 for the same and as per the guidelines from the Scribe support engineer we did changes in the shutdown interval to zero. ''update SCRIBEINTERNAL.SCRIBE.KSYNC set keyvalue= 0 where KEYNAME = 'SETTINGS.SHUTDOWNINTERVAL''. Later this change we started getting alert emails like ''Fatal error 325 occurred: Message processor shutting down - defined maximum memory usage (900MB) exceeded. Please contact Scribe support at support@scribesoft.com if this problem persists''. We found this issue is a critical one as the occurrences of it is decreased but still it is persist.

Ideal for fast development, development of interfaces can be started immediately with minimal knowledge. There is no limitation on the possibilities of use case, it can fit in almost everywhere.

TIBCO BusinessWorks is an excellent tool for integrating various systems, allowing data transmission, transformation and transcoding, even at high speeds. It may not be suitable in situations where the data volume is very large.

I would recommend if you need a simple replication/sync from cloud data systems to local data storage. You should make sure that the connectors are supported, as the documentation is a bit generic. You also have to ensure that the settings are defined when making connections, as it's easily missed and not turnkey. In my opinion, feels like the UI is a bit unfriendly
