These Release Notes cover IBM® WebSphere® Business Integration Collaborations
for Product Information Management, Version 1.1.0 and IBM WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations
for Retail Message Manager, Version 4.4.0
Features
The Product Information
Management for Retailers solution contains prebuilt business process templates
(called collaboration templates) that can jump-start integration into the
UCCnet registry, reduce operational costs and errors, increase sales by providing
accurate, timely data, and increase market share by accelerating product-to-shelf
times.
IBM WebSphere Business
Integration Collaborations for Product Information Management.
The
templates included with this product do the following:
- Validate the item data, help manage the item approval process, and route
the approved item information to other enterprise systems.
- Manage the processes used to temporarily store, update, retrieve, and
delete data (such as business objects, messages, or unique product identifiers)
during the review and approval processes. As a result, required item information
is available to the trading partner as long as an item is being processed,
even if the approval process spans days, weeks, or even months.
- Extract email message text, subject text, and recipient(s) from configurable
attributes in a triggering business object, and use those attribute values
as input to the sendEmail API. The attributes of the business object can contain
the actual message text, subject text, or address(es), or point to filenames
that contain those values.
- Support sending out possible audit data and error information via collaboration
ports for additional back end system handling.
IBM WebSphere Business
Integration Collaborations for Retail Message Manager
The templates
included with this product do the following:
- Handle the dialog necessary for communication with UCCnet, providing a
streamlined process for receiving XML data from the UCCnet standard product
registry, for initiating processing of this data, and for sending responses
back to UCCnet. Data can include Item information or Price/Price Bracket responses.
- Support sending out command requests to UCCnet services.
- Support sending out possible audit data and error information via collaboration
ports for additional back end system handling.
