Technical data

The XML Gateway contains features not found in other products and was specifically designed to ease the integration headache with the BMC AR System.

Bi-directional integration between the BMC AR System and any third party system through XML:

• receives XML messages and can perform multiple transactions against ARS.
• creates XML messages and can send to one or more third party systems.
• provides and interprets XML responses.

Pure Java J2EE design coupled to AR System through the ARS APIs:

• one solution, not multiple modules bolted onto ARS. If ARS fails, the product carries on running.
• runs in any modern Java Servlet container (Weblogic, Tomcat, Websphere, Jboss, etc.).
• absolutely no additional workflow needs to be installed to configure and maintain the gateway.

Connectivity through HTTP, Java Messaging Services, Webservices, e-mail and file:

• extremely modular design, keeping the transport layer separate from the payload.
• allows new transport layers to be added to meet developing enterprise needs.
• full Java Messaging Services support provided out of the box. JMS provides guaranteed message delivery and where applicable often represents the best integration mechanism between heterogeneous systems.

AR System attachment support:

• attachments can be sent to and retrieved from the gateway with ease.
• through webservices or HTTP.

Data translation layer for non-XML messages: Systems communicating using non-XML-based formats not already supported can quickly be integrated through translation filters.

• Supports CSV and SWIFT messaging out of the box.

Integrated message-sending framework:

• allows messages to be sent to one or more third-party systems in a single transaction;
• reports back to ARS the status of the message transmission process;
• can decode individual responses from third parties;
• scheduled resending of messages in the event of a third party being unavailable.

Any XML document or standard can be both generated and processed.

• XML Schema supported to ensure valid XML passes in and out of the gateway.

Use it for free

The XML Gateway is available for no cost if you do not intend to perform more than 100 transactions per hour. If you wish to engage in high volume transactions then an unlimited transaction enterprise license is available.

If you require a support package for the free edition - perhaps to help you build an integration - then we would be pleased to offer this service.
