A SYSTEM, METHOD AND ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE FOR PROCESSING IMPLIED TRANSACTIONS IN A UNIVERSAL TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

A computer implemented transaction processing system is presented for processing transactions between an application and one or more transaction processors. The system utilizes a first communication link between the application and a transaction processor interoperability component. Then, the system determines which of the one or more transaction processors will process transactions for the application and establishes a communication link between the transaction processor interoperability component and the transaction processor that will process transactions for the application. Then, as the application transmits a transaction from the application to the transaction processor interoperability component, the transaction is formatted by the transaction processor interoperability component for compatibility with the transaction processor that will process transactions for the application, and finally transmitting the formatted transaction to the transaction processor that will process transactions for the application. Transactions can be started implicitly utilizing the attributes of the service name in the service resolver database. Transactions can also be terminated implicitly at the appropriate points both for request/response and conversational interoperability.
