System for archive integrity management and related methods
First Claim
1. A computer-readable-document archive system comprising:
- storage media for archiving computer-readable documents;
an input interface for receiving documents to be archived;
an output interface;
a content integrity manager application that instructs a processor to perform actions comprising;
(a) determining whether documents pertaining to a transaction have been received by the input interface based upon a comparison of at least data identifying a set of documents required for the transaction and data identifying documents associated with the transaction that have been received, and (b) transmitting a notification signal via the output interface, if at least one document in the set of documents has not been received.

Abstract
A system for archive integrity management and related methods are disclosed. The invention includes one or more integrity manager applications, each of which monitor the integrity of an aspect of a data archive. Some integrity manager applications monitor the integrity of processes executed by the archive system, and other integrity manager applications monitor the integrity of communication paths in the archive system. A file input integrity manager application monitors the integrity of a plurality of processes associated with storing a new data file in the archive. A business content integrity manager application determines what documents are required for a transaction and monitors whether all of the required documents have been received by the archive system. Further, an event integrity manager application executes predetermined events triggered by characteristics of documents stored in the archive system and ensures that all events have been properly executed.

-
storage media for archiving computer-readable documents;
an input interface for receiving documents to be archived;
an output interface; and
a file input integrity manager application that instructs a processor to perform actions comprising;
(a) determining whether files received via the input interface are successfully stored by the archive system based upon a comparison of at least data identifying files received via the input interface and data identifying files stored on the storage media, and (b) transmitting a notification signal via the output interface, if at least one of the files received by the archive system were not successfully stored by the archive system. - View Dependent Claims (10)
