Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: responsive to instantiating a first application at a processing device, analyzing metadata of the first application to identify a data object and a field of the data object exchanged with a second application over a communications network; checking an identifier associated with a similar data object and a similar field to determine a supported connectivity between the applications; responsive to the applications supporting point-to-point connectivity, providing metadata of the first application to the second application enabling the second application to create an inbound interface for extracting the identified data object and the identified field from runtime communications from the first application to the second application formatted according to the metadata at the first application; and responsive to the applications supporting connectivity through a central repository, reformatting the metadata of the first application according to a data structure used by the central repository and publishing the reformatted metadata containing formatting instructions for transferring the identified data object and the identified field in communications with the first application to the central repository, the published metadata accessed at runtime to enable communication with the first application according to the formatting instructions in the published metadata.
