Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for enabling a plurality of computers and associated computer resources, some or all of which may be of heterogeneous configuration, to cooperatively process a variety of applications such that the execution is transparent to the user regardless of where the application is actually executing. This distributed applications architecture performs an information distribution service between multiple transaction processing systems by working with a transaction processor via communication channels to other hosts within the the network and a dialog manager (26) which uses a transaction processor interface (78) to communicate with the transaction processor. Additionally, the architecture employs a map service (36,40) to provide an editor to allow application programmers to create the maps (40 for the application panels, a compiler to generate the maps into linkable form, and a linkable interpreter which translates the linkable form into the screen presentation format for that platform. Furthermore, to distribute an application, the source code for the procedures (32), views. (38) and panels are moved as a block to the new system. This is possible because once the application source code is complete, all of the application logic, user interface control tables, view definitions, and other application-specific tables for one transaction definition are packaged by the present invention in a single load module on the system where the application will reside. The load module is then compiled using the target system's compiler, link editor, and bind process. Thus, all environment-dependent variations of import/export, including network protocol, operating systems, processor types, etc., are automatically integrated with the application at load module bind time. Therefore, no source code changes are necessary.

Abstract: A carrier preferably in the form of a thin insulative and heat-resistant sheet (14) has a plurality of apertures (26) extending therethrough which are preloaded to carry a reflowable electrically conductive solder (28) or paste. Upon positioning the carrier between lands (18-24) of circuit carriers, printed circuit boards, combinations thereof or the like, predetermined electrical interconnections may be effected between such lands by reflow. The electrical interconnection is completed between given upper and lower such lands through the conductive material in a plurality of apertures disposed between the lands. In a preferred embodiment the aperture density relative to the area of the lands to be interconnected is selected to provide redundancy by permitting plural interconnections through apertures to a given land pair. Aperture diameter and amount of reflowable material present therein is further selected whereby upon such reflowing apertures between adjacent pads act as solder dams to prevent undesirable electrical interconnection between such adjacent pads. A system is provided whereby the carrier need not be precisely aligned relative to the land patterns and whereby necessity for precise screening of conductive material to accommodate fine pitch land/pad configurations is eliminated.
