XML Gateway Community Edition

Overview

The XML Gateway is the industry-leading software solution for Remedy AR System integrations. The product is provided in a J2EE package with full enterprise functionality. For members of the Remedy community who simply need a tool for occasional data import/export scripting, however, the full XML Gateway may be overkill.

Version comparison

Some of the differences between the Community and Enterprise editions of XML Gateway:

EE CE
Query the AR System, returning XML yes yes
Create/modify/delete from XML input yes yes
Compatible with AR System 5 and up yes yes
Pure Java (no workflow, ARDBC etc.) yes yes
Technical support yes optional
Web Services support yes no
J2EE application architecture yes no
Multi-threading, AR System caching yes no
Java Messaging Service adaptors yes no
Web interface examples yes no
Web-based test harness yes no

( - optional)

For such cases, Java System Solutions now provide a Community Edition of the software, available without charge. XML Gateway CE contains the core feature subset, accessible through a command-line interface.

The command-line Community Edition tools are suitable for technical users to get simple one-off data transport jobs done. XML Gateway CE is not designed for real-time applications or as part of a reliable long-term enterprise IT strategy.

Support

Manual pages. The XML Gateway tutorial also covers relevant material, though some features mentioned in it (eg. attachment extraction) are not available in XML Gateway CE.

JSS offers an extensive and competitively-priced support package for the XML Gateway Community Edition as well as the Enterprise edition. Support is provided directly by our highly technically proficient engineers and consultants. We get questions answered properly, fast!

Getting started

Quick start for technical users: unpack the XML Gateway CE archive and load the xmlgateway.rc file into a text editor to configure the properties to point XML Gateway to your AR System server.

Now run the XML Gateway command line script passing as the configuration template and the XML document source as parameters:

./runXMLGateway.sh
-t=myConfigurationTemplate.xml
-x=mySourceXML.xml

Whilst we cannot promise Community Edition support for free, we'll still do our best to address technical issues by direct contact and through the discussion forum, where other JSS and AR System users may also be able to offer advice.
