TIBCO BusinessConnect is a business-to-business gateway that enables the secure transmission of business documents and messages between partners using disparate internal business systems.
2. Architecture of BC The TIBCO BusinessConnect integration platform has a modular architecture that provides both robust processing capabilities and flexible standards support. The platform provides an engine and process design capabilities for all business protocols. Process diagrams that define process, communication, and data models can be extended with custom tasks designed to address business transaction requirements. The platform also lets you define and store trading partner information, which can be used by any protocol.
3. Inbound Processing During inbound processing, incoming business data is validated, translated to a format that the internal systems understand, and formatted as appropriate.
Outbound Processing During outbound processing, company internal data is formatted and converted to a format that TIBCO BusinessConnect expects.

A transport protocol, such as HTTP or FTP, is a standard convention for transferring data. A business protocol goes beyond data transport because it defines a complex set of behaviors and roles that partners agree on before doing business. (EDI, RosettaNet, EZComm). Business protocols provide a set of standards for use in defining both the content of electronic business documents and the operations—or technical tasks—required to carry out the transaction

For example, TIBCO BusinessConnect can handle private process tibXML messages created and sent using TIBCO BusinessWorks. This means that you can use TIBCO BusinessWorks to create a private process definition that can create an outbound initiator request and invoke a tibXML transaction defined in TIBCO BusinessConnect. You can also use TIBCO BusinessWorks to create a private process definition that can receive and process a responder request generated by a TIBCO BusinessConnect server from an incoming tibXML transaction.
