CHIPS Business Processes

Edit online

To help you accomplish your business goals, Sterling B2B Integrator provides two predefined enveloping business processes that are used by Sterling B2B Integrator to implement CHIPS processing: CHIPSEnvelope and CHIPSDeenvelope. These predefined business processes are initiated by services during CHIPS processing and do not require you to modify them.

The following table lists business goals for the predefined CHIPS business processes:

Business Process
Business Goals
CHIPSDeenvelope
Extracts CHIPS message types from a message and translates and processes them, according to the content of the envelopes.
CHIPSEnvelope
Applies an CHIPS envelope to one or more CHIPS messages and then uses the envelope data to translate and process them.
CHIPSAdapter
Envelopes CHIPS data and saves each CHIPS message (except CHIPS Heartbeat messages) sent to and received from the CHIPS Central Computer in the participant mailbox as a new mailbox message. In sending mode, it picks up the configuration parameters from the CHIPS adapter in the workflow. In receiving mode, the CHIPS adapter puts the incoming documents into the workflow.
Note: To integrate the CHIPS adapter with CHIPS enveloping, select the CHIPSAdapter business process when you create the CHIPS outbound envelope.
CHIPSUtilityEOD
Executes the CHIPS Utility service end-of-day housekeeping actions. You can schedule this predefined business process to be started every evening.
CHIPSUtilitySOD
Executes the CHIPS Utility service start-of-day housekeeping actions. You can schedule this predefined business process to be started every morning.
CHIPSExtractMailboxMessage
Receives and deenvelopes (using the EDIDeenvelope business process) each mailbox message received by the CHIPS adapter from the CHIPS Central Computer. This business process is started by a mailbox routing rule that you create. The mailbox routing rule is executed automatically when the MailboxEvaluateAllAutomaticRulesSubMin schedule is enabled.
CHIPSUtility_ReceiveHandler
Handles incoming messages and returns acknowledgement messages according to the CHIPS Adapter transport method and details.
  • For SWIFTNet, this business process is assigned automatically in the SWIFTNet Routing Rule.
  • For MQ, the user needs to assign this business process in the Websphere MQ Async Receive Adapter.
CHIPSAdapter_SupervisoryCheck
Executes the CHIPS adapter to send a Supervisory STATUS message to check on the CHIPS line status. If there is no response, the CHIPS line status is updated as “down.”If there is a response, the CHIIPS line status is updated as “up.”: This is useful when the CHIPS line is already set to “down” during the Resend Handler and you need to check and update the line status through the business process.

The following business processes are provided to you in this release of Sterling B2B Integrator to create the message whose name is included in the business process. The resulting message is stored as a primary document. For example, the CHIPSCreateContinueUnresolvedPaymentMessageReportFullRequest.bpml creates a Continue Unresolved Payment Message Report Full Request message and stores it as the primary document.

Note: It is your responsibility to integrate these business processes into your CHIPS solution (a solution that includes the use of a third party CHIPS communications solution).
