Abstract:
A method for processing and monitoring transactions between an application located on a first computer and one or more transaction processors, comprising the steps of:(a) establishing a first communication link between the application and a transaction processor interoperability component having one or more transaction processor interfaces and a universal user interface located on a second computer;(b) determining which of the one or more transaction processor interfaces and the one 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;(f) invoking the universal user interface by the transaction processor interoperability component to monitor the processing of the formatted transaction by the transaction processor that will process the transaction for the application; and(g) transmitting the formatted transaction to the transaction processor that will process the transaction for the application using a processor-specific transaction service.
