First Claim
1. A method in a computer system for mapping identifiers, the method comprising:
- receiving a first identifier from a first application, wherein the first identifier identifies a record of a first database that is accessible by the first application;
generating a common identifier for the received first identifier;
mapping the received first identifier to the common identifier;
transmitting the record to a second application;
receiving a second identifier from the second application in response to transmitting the record to the second application, wherein the second identifier identifies the record after it is stored in a second database that is accessible by the second application, wherein the first and second applications are distinct from each other; and
mapping the received second identifier to the common identifier.

Abstract
A method and system for providing an integration environment in which integration processes can be developed independent of integration servers and applications. The integration environment provides an application service interface for each application that is independent of the integration servers. An integration process that is developed to use the application service interface is compatible with any integration server that supports the applications that the integration process accesses. The integration environment provides a common service interface for each type of application. The common service interface is independent of the application that is providing the service and is also independent of the integration server. Thus, an integration process developed to use the common service interface is compatible with any application of the appropriate type and any integration server.

12. A computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer system, wherein the computer system implements a method for mapping identifiers in response to executing the instructions, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first identifier from a first application, wherein the first identifier identifies a record of a first database that is accessible by the first application; generating a common identifier for the received first identifier; mapping the received first identifier to the common identifier; transmitting the record to a second application; receiving a second identifier from the second application in response to transmitting the record to the second application, wherein the second identifier identifies the record after it is stored in a second database that is accessible by the second application, wherein the first and second applications are distinct from each other; and mapping the received second identifier to the common identifier. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
