Some information

The objects / data supported can be found in Help here
Windchill ESI features

There are no industry wide standards on platform logic. The XML is output structured as AP242 nouns so that they can be transformed into proprietary formats. There would need to be some layer to transform the data

The response does not use the Tibco functionality OOTB -
