一份TIBCO产品相关的面试题

前段时间收到的一家国外公司的面试题，无奈iProcess不是我的强项，英语口语也不怎么样，在电话面试环节被毙掉了。现在把题发出来，与各位分享。继续努力，看来TIBCO产品相关的工作机会还是比较多的，尤其是在国外。

1. What are the main steps of the Web Service (WS) task creation in Business Studio (BS)?

- Same for Business Works (BW) Service

2. What are the constraints on WS tasks use in BS?

- Same for BW service task

3. What could be possible reasons Tibco configuration for WS task to fail in iProcess (while BW service itself is alive)

- Same for BW service task

4. What are pros and cons for using BW service vs. directly WS within an iProcess workflow?

5. How to expose a web-service from a BW process? (May be best thing - just to create and attach a simple BW project)

6. Why deployment of a BW *.ear file could fail? Give probable reasons.

7. What are the main steps to install BS WS plugin and make it running.

8. Which implementation technologies may be used to create user forms to show in the iProcess WorkspaceBrowser?

9. How to layout workqueues panel and procedures panel to be shown on the same page (say, one on the left-hand side, another on the right-hand side)

10. What are the restrictions for the task user form layout design within Business Studio?

11. What are pros and cons for using GI to design user form?

12. How to set configuration with some default column hidden for user in the tasks list within Workspace Browser?

-------------------------------

I. Suppose an example: we're creating an Incident Management workflow (ITIL terminilogy).

A. We'd like to avoid maintining separate persistence for an Incident entity, and had an idea to store its attributes within the workflow process instance.

B. It's a process with many subprocesses (like: technical-level and application-level handling).

C. An Incident should have a comment log, where messages could be added either

- automatically (when flow enters some specific branch, e.g. escalated by an operator from technical to the application level) or .

- manually by an operator after he locked the task - within the task UI form D. A supervisor should be able and all comment The log should be visible

How would you implement this comment log, that would fulfill all these requirements facilitating iProcess?

--------------

II. Suppose we want to apply a unified security policy to our service inventory: access to any service should be checked, if the consumer system/user has a permission to access the service, and specific operation within it.

A. We have BusinessWorks, iProcess, ActiveMatrix Registry, and AmberPoint in the house.

B. Most of services are published as SOAP/HTTP endpoints C. If some of the services are exposed as XML/JMS

How would you design this?

--------------

III. Suppose there is a service operation that takes some half-an-hour to execute, before returning the result. So, there is an intention to execute it asynchronously to the consumer.

What would you do within BW mediator:

1. To return back to a consumer, which is a Java application (with some client and server web-services libraries)?

2. To return back to a consumer, which is an iProcess workflow?
