System and Method for Making Application Requests into Private Firewalled Networks

摘要

A first agent process is provided in a first computing environment. The first agent process is in communication with a first application. A second agent process is provided in a second computing environment, and the second agent process is in communication with a second application. Both the second agent process and first application run behind a firewall. The first agent process and second agent process communicate with each other across the firewall to have tasks performed by the second application on behalf of the first application.

1. A method comprising:
at a second agent process running behind a firewall within a computing environment, sending an outbound agent request across the firewall to a first agent process outside of the computing environment, the outbound agent request asking for one or more application tasks to be performed by an internal application within the computing environment; receiving an inbound agent reply at the second agent process from the first agent process, the inbound agent reply specifying one or more application tasks to be performed by the internal application within the computing environment on behalf of an external application outside the computing environment; and sending from the second agent process across the firewall to the first agent process a new outbound agent request containing application task results generated by the internal application.
