Application Integration Hub
Dharma Integrator provides a common integration layer that enables e-business applications to access a unified view of business rules and information from multiple applications.This unified view enables new online value to be created from the existing IT infrastructure.
Unified View
Dharma Integrator provides a unified view of a corporation's existing business rules and information. Using industry standard techniques,legacy applications are easily leveraged by web development tools and application servers. New e-business applications are developed quickly and efficiently using well known tools and methods. With its open design and extensible architecture, Dharma Integrator also easily accommodates new requirements for application integration.
Access to All Your Business Applications
Dharma Integrator uses its companion "Links" to gain access to custom and packaged applications. These Link products are ready-to-run out of the box, eliminating the need for custom programming and reducing maintenance costs. Dharma Integrator, through its "Link products," combines the information and business rules from multiple applications. It provides a bi-directional interface to all of the business logic and information,making it seamlessly available to an e-business solution. Dharma Integrator receives, reads,and updates the requests and translates them into the appropriate transactions, ensuring proper execution in the existing application. The Dharma Integrator's failsafe delivery method ensures that all transactions are delivered to the back-end application.
How It Works
As requests from e-business applications come in, Dharma Integrator identifies the application sources required to fill the request. This information may reside in custom or packaged applications.
Often a number of application sources can be used to satisfy a user’s request. When this is the case, Dharma Integrator’s optimizer will identify the most efficient method for meeting the needs of the e-business solution. This extensive optimization identifies the best ratio of network traffic, application load, and database server load.
Once the information is retrieved, it is rationalized. Any local processing for summing across disparate application sources or complex sorting is done at this time.
The information is then returned to the e-business application in a standardized format. The e-business developer does not require knowledge of the underlying applications.
