eXport data transmission serverThe eXport data transmission server is a software product, used for organization of interaction of application on Progress 4GL and any other outside applications.
Interaction of applications is based on exchange of messages in the request-response mode. Request exchange is made in the form of specially framed series messages , transmitted by the net. Messages can be in a text or binary format. The eXport 1.0 version permits to exchange messages with the IBS Bankir system in FDX format with further breakdown and processing of messages in the organic XML interface module of the IBS Bankir system.
The eXport server sees an application on the Progress 4GL basis, in our case the IBS Bankir system, as a server component, which outside application can approach with their requests, and in actually serves as a transport intermediary for organization of data transmission from an outside application to the IBS Bankir system. To achieve parallel online requests processing the server prepares and controls a certain numbers of parallel IBS sessions - a pool of sessions. It allows to achieve an integration connection, when a request from an outside application is directly transmitted to the already formed IBS, which is waiting for a session, then processing is implemented and the reply is sent to the outside application. Management of sessions of the bank system is exercised dynamically with balancing the load - with a heavy outside information flow a large number of bank sessions are prepared. The use in this particular case of the FDX format as a medium for information transmission permits to get access to practically all functionalities of the IBS Bankir system for any outside application.
Thus, there appears a possibility to consider the eXport server as a self-sufficient transport gate of the bank system through which a functionality of the bank system becomes available for outside application in a synchronous mode as independent users, without waiting for processing of their own requests to the IBS system in different queues and monitors.
Characteristic properties:
The system provides communication of the bank system with outside applications in the point-to-point format;
Parallel processing of information in the bank system;
Exchange of messages in any format.
The eXport server is implemented within the framework of Java2SE platform and does not require purchases of additional hardware or software components.
