Benefits of technology

This approach allows for efficient, flexible message routing across various systems, reducing the need for custom programming and enhancing maintenance, while enabling loose coupling of third-party systems and filling gaps in legacy systems, thus improving communication and automation within enterprises.

Problems solved by technology

Frequently, however, these various computers will have disparate operating systems and communication protocols.
Moreover, an extensive amount of programming may be required for implementation and maintenance in an environment of constantly changing interfaces and application logic found in the world of manufacturing plant automation and B2B trading partners.

Embodiment Construction

[0024] It is to be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the present discussion is a description of exemplary embodiments only, and is not intended as limiting the broader aspects of the invention, which broader aspects are embodied in the exemplary constructions.

[0025]FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation illustrating the manner in which various “trading partners” may be interconnected in accordance with the present invention. Specifically, a total of four trading partners 10a-d (also referred to as TP1-TP4) communicate with one another via a “transaction-based environment”11 by which messages are directed according to the transaction to be performed. This is in contrast to many systems of the prior art which have relied on specific message routing from one computer to another.

[0026] Further details of the transaction partners can be discerned from FIG. 2, which illustrates transaction partner TP1 for purposes of illustration. In this case, a computer running an a...

Abstract

An architecture for a computing environment wherein transactions preferably model the enterprise and its business processes directly, allowing third-party systems, like ERP, supply chain and Web portals, to be more loosely coupled. Because the system will often be distributed throughout the enterprise, reliance on central critical servers is reduced. The system of the present invention can also fill-in gaps in the functionality of legacy systems, as well as invoke complex applications and direct automated systems. The system offers an architecture where users can model their particular enterprises in business terms so that disparate applications can be linked without custom programming.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation of copending application Ser. No. 09 / 940,179, filed Aug. 27, 2001, which claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 228,219, filed Aug. 25, 2000. The foregoing applications are relied on herein and incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to message processing in a network of interconnected computers and other electronic devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system for moving messages among the interconnected computers based on the transactions to be performed. [0003] It is often necessary in various commercial enterprises to route messages among interconnected computers. For example, an enterprise resources planning (ERP) system installed in a production facility may need to communicate with computers used to control production equipment on the plant floor. Frequently, however, these various computers will have disparate operating systems and co...
