Running the EAI Windchill Simulation Module
The following two sections describe different methods of running an instance of the EAI Windchill Simulation Module.
Running the EAI Windchill Simulation Module in Engine Mode
It is recommended to deploy and run a TIBCO BusinessWorks engine to handle all the Windchill Simulation module functions. To deploy a EAI Windchill Simulation Module Engine, follow the same steps to deploy an engine as specified in the Enterprise Systems Integration Installation and Configuration Guide. When this engine is run, it will perform all the functions of the EAI Windchill Simulation module (publishing ESIResponse, ESIResultResponse and listening for ESIResult, etc).
Running the EAI Windchill Simulation Module in Test Mode
It is also possible to run the entire process in test mode. This allows a user to set breakpoints and observe the EAI Windchill Simulation module using the TIBCO BusinessWorks debugger.
To run the process in Test Mode, complete the following steps:
1. Open the Tester window.
2. Press the double-green arrow button
3. Select the following Process Diagrams:
a. Stub_ ESIResponse_Publish_PD
b. Stub_Result_ResultResponse_PD
4. To start the engine, press the Start button. The process will start and begin listening for a change to ESISendResponse.xml.
