Abstract:
A method for processing a transaction between an application located on a first computer and two or more transaction processors, comprising the steps of:(a) establishing a first communication link between the application and a transaction processor interoperability component having two or more transaction processor interfaces located on a second computer; (b) determining which of the two or more transaction processor interfaces and the two or more transaction processors will process the transaction for the application; (c) establishing a second communication link between the transaction processor interface and the transaction processor that will process the transaction for the application; (d) transmitting the transaction from the application to the transaction processor interoperability component using an object-oriented transaction service; (e) formatting the transaction by the transaction processor interoperability component to be compatible with the transaction processor that will process the transaction for the application; and (f) transmitting the formatted transaction to the transaction processor that will process the transaction for the application using a processor-specific transaction service.
