EAI Overview

USoft Developer makes it possible to perform online transactions on data from various sources. This feature is known as Enterprise Application Integration (EAI). EAI provides you with the opportunity to build a single graphical interface on data stored in different data sources. It is also possible to define rules that are related to multiple data sources.

The structure of the external data must be defined in component tables. Component tables have the same functionality as standard database tables. Default windows are available, and these windows can be designed. Component tables can be used in constraints, relationships, batch jobs, and so on.

The difference between a standard table and a component table is that for a component table, the data is not stored in the database, but it is retrieved using external USoft Connector components. The Rules Engine translates the functionality of these USoft Connector components to SQL. RDMI technology is used to connect to the external USoft connector components.
