We also created our own messaging tools that integrated with IM or BW like the ORM (Object Relation Manager), UEH (Universal Error Handler) and Sequencer that made sure messages where flowed in the correct order. Each engine or ADB had a Hawk rule base that would associate the component with a DB(s) and automatically shut down and restart them. * Developed Tibco IL Deployment and Hawk scripts that were integrated with Rational Clear Case and was SOX compliance which could be deployed to any environment. This was very successful during Hurricane Rita when we had to fail over to our DR site. * Transferred all my NAGP IL support duties to off shore consulting firm and had to train each individual on support procedures, configuration management, environment matrix (Servers with there component type and RV configuration settings and subjects along with there method of delivery.) and resolving common Tibco application problems. * Lead technical IL developer on the Global Facilities project that with would hold all Facilities for NAGP in Kalido. My role was to define mappings from the legacy systems (ET, Nucleus) to IHS, and eMarket for data feeds that needed to be written.
