Set up the training workspace in Tepco Business Studio, switch to the design perspective, and explore the Project Explorer, designer canvas, and essential tabs for properties, problems, and console.

Use the Tepco business works application wizard to create your first Tepco project, generating the application, its module, and a shared module, then set BW six app space deployment target.

Create and configure your first Tepco Business Works process by understanding packages, process modifiers public versus private, and adding a timer starter from the palettes to run once upon deployment.

Add and configure a log activity as the first step, set name and log level, connect it to a timer, and view hello world messages in the Tibco console.

Discover that Tepco processes are XML files and learn to edit timer and log settings in XML, update intervals to 10s, and validate changes.

Explore the Tibco file palette for local file operations, learning to create and write files with create file and write file activities, including paths, overwrite, append, and basic configurations.

Handle file exceptions in Tepco by using create file and right file activities, enabling override and create non-existing directories. Add logging to confirm file creation and demonstrate append behavior.

Copy only good files from the in files folder to the out files folder using the Tibco file palette's copy file activity and a wildcard pattern.

Explore process starter activities in Tepco, including timer, receive notification, file poller, http receiver, jms receive, tcp, and java starters, and how they trigger workflows by time, events, or inputs.

Configure the file pooler to monitor a directory and trigger a process from file content. Master settings like wildcards, polling interval, include existing files, and UTF-8 encoding for ETL workflows.

Configure a file poller with two writefile actions, use transitions with success and error conditions via XPath expressions, and route outputs to success files and failure files.

Explore HTTP fundamentals and how the protocol enables client–server conversations for web pages and APIs, including methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE; understand statelessness, headers, and status codes.

Simulate HTTP requests and responses using Postman and a mock server with Bicep, exploring client–server communication, GET and POST methods, and JSON responses for end-to-end testing.

Configure a Tibco BW 6 server to receive HTTP requests and return responses using the HTTP receiver and HTTP response, then test with Postman.

Configure and test an http server in Tibco bw 6/ce by creating http connections, endpoints, and parameters, logging requests, and sending the response back to the client.

Build an HTTP client in Tepco to send requests and handle responses by configuring a send HTTP request activity, an HTTP client connection, and a CT parameter with Paris.

Organize, test, and verify a Tibco client-server process by aligning activities, configuring run settings for the Tibco server and client, and validating the HTTP request–response flow.

Master how authentication and authorization govern access in secure http communication. Apply reusable policies in Dbca to enforce https, ssl, tls, and secure data handling across Typekit integrations.

Design and apply a basic authentication policy in Tepco to secure HTTP server and client, centralizing authentication, configuring credentials in workspace XML, and validating with a 200 response.

Implement basic authentication in a TIBCO client process using a fixed-credentials policy to send the correct authorization header, comparing policy-based security with manual headers for centralized credential management.

Configure the http client to use https with keystore and truststore, enabling mutual ssl, server certificate validation, and secure communication, including the keystore provider as truststore for simplification.

Create a JKS file to enable HTTPS connections to the Beeceptor endpoint by using Keystore Explorer's GUI, importing the full certificate chain, and securing the keystore with a password.

Configure secure https requests in TIBCO by setting up an ssl client resource and keystore, enabling mutual authentication, selecting TLS 1.2, and testing with the http client and receptor.

Explore how XML's extensible, platform-independent structure enables clear data exchange in Tibco projects, with processes and resources stored as XML for easy management and cross-environment use.

Explore XML schemas (XSD) that define structure and data types for XML and validate data in Tepco. Learn how schemas enforce order and support multiple items in integration flows.

Create an XML schema in TIBCO Business Studio to define the order XML structure, including elements, complex types, and attributes, for validating an order payload.

Refine the order XML schema by changing order ID to integer and price to decimal, while reviewing XSD attributes, namespaces, and element form.

Enhance Tibco XML schemas by applying minOccurs, maxOccurs (unbounded), min and max length, enumeration, and choice, using complex and simple types to enforce constraints on customer name and order id.

Define and validate XML with schemas, enforcing strict structure and sequence while adding attributes like price currency USD; compare GUI and source views to build schemas from sample payload.

Explore the XML activities palette in Tepco Business Works to parse XML strings (with optional schema validation), render structured data into XML, and transform XML via XSLT for different systems.

Parse XML activity receives an XML payload via HTTP receiver, parses it against the order schema to build a hierarchical structure, and uses the format number function for the total.

Assess when to enable or skip xml schema validation in tibco bw 6/ce, weighing data stability and critical fields like order id against performance gains from skipping validation.

Render the hierarchical data back into an xml string with the render xml activity, map the parsed xml to the order schema, and test submission with postman.

Explore redesigning an xsd schema using best practices, moving to a single root order element with reusable top-level elements, and simplifying complex types for item objects and items.

Recap XML and XSD basics and introduce XSLT, showing how templates and XPath transform XML documents into new formats and integrate existing XSLT code into Tibco workflows.

Apply an XSLT transformation to an XML payload using the transform XML activity in Tibco. Generate a transformed order with customer details and per-item cost calculated from quantity and price.

Explore variables and properties in TIBCO, distinguishing process, module, and job scopes, and learn how to use them to control data during execution and configuration across integration platforms.

Configure Tibco Typekit processes with process properties and variables. Define a server endpoint and three variables, and use assign activities with if/else logic based on customer name.

Learn to use a foreach loop with a counter variable to calculate each item's amount (quantity × price) and accumulate a total, then return it via http response.

Explore subprocesses in TIBCO BusinessWorks to create modular, reusable logic within a parent process; learn how input and output parameters enable scalable, maintainable workflows and consistent integration across processes.

Learn to share data across a TIBCO BW 6 job with job shared variables, enabling cross-process access between main and subprocess, tested via postman.

Configure dynamic process name override to select a subprocess at runtime via an XPath expression, routing by customer name (Sanofi or Amazon) with matching input and output schema.

Explore the built-in debugger in Typekit to test and troubleshoot integrations, using breakpoints, step controls, and real-time data monitoring to validate variables and analyze process flow.

Explore the Tibco Studio debugger to test, troubleshoot, and validate complex workflows by setting breakpoints, inspecting inputs, outputs, and variables, and stepping through processes using Postman.
