Preface

The products IBM(R) WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and IBM(R) WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus are made up of the following components: InterChange Server Express, the associated Toolset Express, CollaborationFoundation, and a set of software integration adapters. The tools in Toolset Express help you create, modify, and manage business processes. You can choose from among the prepackaged adapters for your business processes that span applications. The standard process template--CollaborationFoundation--allows you to quickly create customized processes.

This document describes how to use Process Designer Express (which is available only in WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus) to create collaborations, which are part of the Business Integration Express infrastructure. Collaborations are programs that contain the business logic for application integration.

Except where noted, all the information in this guide applies to both IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus. The term WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and its variants (for example, Business Integration Express) refer to both products.
