Transaction Management
We have provided up to 22 different protocol adapters for plug and play interoperability between systems. Protocol level independence is the "key" to our modular design. Features include:
M2 Systems ENGIN solution has been designed to provide a highly efficient EAI environment. It provides all of the following components as part of a single, integrated solution:
- Environment Manager - The Environment Manager is the supervisor process that manages all internal activities. While transactions do not flow through it, the entire ENGIN network of processes, applications, and user exits fall under its control. The Environment Manager is responsible for maintaining the integrity of all ENGIN subsystems and applications and for synchronizing all satellite processes.
- Command Center - The Command Center consists of a graphical user interface through which all components of ENGIN may be controlled and all ENGIN commands may be executed from this facility. It provides a customizable view of ENGIN configurations including, paths, processes, and events.
- Data Dictionary - The Data Dictionary provides the definition of the data segments and elements, the elimination of redundant data entry, simplification of default output mapping, powerful output rule definition, the handling of nested groups with multiple occurrences, definition for an infinite number of data types, and data element format templates.
- Message Queuing - ENGIN's message queuing backbone provides the actual transport capability that manages the actual routing, tracking, sequencing, distribution and workflow management of all messages and transactions that are processed within ENGN applications. Every incoming or outgoing message is uniquely identified and can be processed in as granular a fashion as is desired. Sync points can be assigned at every process step and messages can be acted upon by other ENGIN functional components at any point in the process. This granularity also allows ENGIN to provide rollback capability based upon the user's definition of a unit of work.
- Communication Management - By definition an EAI solution provides compatible connectivity to disparate applications and systems. ENGIN's Communication Managers provide connectivity to other systems through a wide variety of protocols and standards. For example, connectivity to a web-based application could be via HTTP, HTTPS or FTP, while connectivity to a legacy mainframe application would utilize an SNA connector or adapter. A wide variety of communications managers are available with ENGIN.
- Business Rule Processing - The Business Rules Processor determines what actions are performed on message components at any step in a workflow, reads them from ENGIN's internal repository and performs the necessary actions. Business rules can be defined within ENGIN through the use of a GUI-based configuration tool and do not require the utilization of external custom code.
- Translation / Transformation - ENGIN's Translator enables messages or transactions to be converted from one form or format to be converted into one or more other formats. Translation maps (i.e. - HCFA1500 to X12 4010 837) are defined through a GUI-based configuration utility and do not require external custom coding. The Translator provides any-to-any complex message translation, where a complex message is defined as one unit-of-work such as one transaction set. The translation is controlled by the data dictionary, which provides the details of message syntax, semantics, and output stage definition. The translation function is independent of data size or location. M2 Systems maintains a rich library of pre-built translation maps that significantly reduce implementation timeframes (e.g. - HIPAA Transaction Sets).
