Systems and methods for communicating from an integration platform to a provisioning server
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of sequences of instructions, said sequences of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- monitor an input channel for data associated with at least one of adding, deleting or modifying information stored in a server, the server executing an object request broker (ORB) that complies with common object request broker architecture (CORBA);
receive the data associated with at least one of adding, deleting or modifying information stored in the server;
forward the data to a data storage system;
receive an indication that the data storage system stored the data;
establish communications with the server in response to receiving the indication;
format the data based on a type associated with the received data; and
download the formatted data to the server.

Abstract
A method for communicating from an integration platform to a server that executes object request broker (ORB) software includes receiving user-entered information at the integration platform. The integration platform generates an event based on the user-entered information and publishes the event on a channel subscribed to by a connector associated with the server. The connector receives the event information, transforms the event information to a format compatible with the server and establishes communications with the server. The connector downloads the information to the server and the server updates its database. The connector may also determine whether at least one other system received the event information before downloading the data to the server.

9. A support system, comprising:
-
a memory configured to store an application program to integrate a number of hardware platforms; and a processor configured to execute the application program and; receive input data, transform the data into an appropriate format based on a type associated with the input data, output event information associated with the input data to a channel subscribed to by at least one connector, forward the data to at least one system, receive an indication that the at least one system has stored the data, establish communications with a redirect server in response to receiving the indication, the redirect server executing an object request broker (ORB) in accordance with common object request broker architecture (CORBA), and download the transformed data to the redirect server. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for communicating from a first system to a first server, the first server executing an object request broker (ORB) that is common object request broker architecture (CORBA) compliant, the method comprising:
-
receiving user-entered information at the first system; sending, by the first system, event information to a channel, the event information being based on the user-entered information and the channel being subscribed to by an ORB connector; receiving, by the ORB connector, the event information; transforming the event information to a format compatible with the first server; establishing, by the ORB connector, communications with the first server, the first server controlling access to a first database; downloading the transformed event information to the first server; preparing, by the first server, to write the transformed event information to the first database; determining, by the ORB connector, whether a message from a database system have been received; and signaling the first server to write the transformed event information to the first database when the message from the database system has been received. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A software-based connector for interfacing between an integration platform and a server executing an object request broker (ORB) that is common object request broker architecture (CORBA) compliant, the connector comprising:
-
a transformer module configured to; receive input information associated with at least one of a request to change attributes associated with a service or add a new service, output event information associated with the received input information to a channel subscribed to by a connector associated with an operational data storage system, and transform the input information into an appropriate format based on the request; and a client module configured to; establish communications with the server, receive a message from the operational data storage system when the operational data storage system has received the event information, and download the transformed input information to the server after the message has been received. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
