System and method for communicating data

摘要

The present invention provides a system and method for communicating data between a source application process and one or more destination application processes. Conversion and routing functions require only a single conversion of all outbound or inbound transmissions regardless of the variety of destinations. Conversion and routing functions are performed by first receiving data to be transmitted in a source format from a source application. This data are then converted from the source format to a standard format. Next, one or more destinations are identified in a database using a transaction type corresponding to the data and/or the address of the source application. After identifying the one or more destinations, a copy of the data is transmitted to each and the data are then converted from the standard format to a destination format. Lastly, this converted data are passed to the destination process.
