Abstract
A system and method for representing MFS control blocks in XML for MFS-based IMS applications utilizes an MFS XML adapter and an MFS XML repository to translate between XML and MFS. The repository contains XML files for DOF/MOD and XML files for DIF/MID. When an XML request is received, the XML request is transformed to a byte stream by retrieving the relevant information from the MFS XML repository. The byte stream can then be placed in an IMS message queue to await processing by an MFS-based IMS application program. A byte stream response is generated by the MFS-based IMS application and is transformed into an XML response, again, by retrieving the relevant information from the MFS XML repository.

9. A system for representing MFS control blocks in XML for MFS-based IMS applications, comprising:
-
an MFS XML adapter; an MFS XML repository connected to the MFS XML adapter, the MFS XML repository including at least one XML file representing at least one MFS control block; a computer program for representing MFS control blocks in XML for MFS-based IMS applications, the computer program comprising;
logic means for transforming an XML request into a byte stream request at least partially based on the MFS control block within the MFS XML repository;
wherein the XML file is at least one of the following;
an XML file for device output format/message output descriptors (DOF/MOD) and an XML file for device input format/message input descriptors (DIF/MID), and wherein the computer program further comprises;logic means for processing the byte stream request with an MFS-based IMS application program to yield a byte stream response; logic means for transforming the byte stream response into an XML response at least partially based on the files in the MFS XML repository; logic means for parsing an first MFS source file; and logic means for determining whether an unresolved external reference is encountered while parsing the first MFS source file. - View Dependent Claims (16)
