Description

Benefit
|
|
Automatic XML generation
|
Once installed, BlueStar immediately makes all host transactions XML-enabled.
|
Most solutions require API for host transaction and data transformation , which becomes
time-consuming and expensive when integrating applications with large numbers of
transactions.
|
|
HTTP interface
|
Most integration efforts use HTTP to communicate with a web application running on a Windows or
UNIX server. Applications can invoke host transactions using HTTP requests over
TCP/IP.
|
Any application that is capable of sending a URL and receiving and XML document can access host
data. All application servers and integration servers support HTTP and XML.
|
|
SOAP support
|
BlueStar includes SOAP support that allows companies to integrate host applications as web
services.
|
Web services use XML to communicate using a common format that conforms to the SOAP specification.
As web services become the standard for integration, your host applications will
be ready.
|
|
Fixed-format XML
|
Output from BlueStar conforms to a defined, predictable document structure.
|
Developers know what to expect in return from each data request sent to BlueStar. A documented,
fixed-format makes it easier for developers to pull data out of the XML results.
|
|
Standards-based
|
BlueStar uses HTTP and XML to allow remote applications to access host transactions.
|
Developers can use their existing knowledge of tools and technologies to integrate host
transactions in to eBusiness applications. Standards-based solutions lower the
costs associated with development and maintenance.
