Because the purpose of the EAI Windchill Simulation module is to simulate Windchill while minimizing complexity and contributing factors to a bug, it performs minimal processing. It simply receives information off the queues and any information it places on the queues is read from files.

The simulaton module uses three files: ESISendResponse.xml, ESIResponseUserA_<TransactionNumber>.xml, and ESIResultResponse.xml. These files are discussed in detail in subsequent sections of this document, and samples may be found in the Appendix.

The location of these files is determined by the Global Variable ESIDirectory, which is set to c:\tibco\esi\ out-of-the-box. To change the path of the ESISendResponse, ESIResponse and ESIResultResponse files, modify the global variable ESIDirectory.
