Standards-Based Infrastructure
The Director uses a standards-based infrastructure for ease of use and compatibility with available
solution development and deployment tools.
Data Store
The data store is based on NonStop SQL/MX, an implementation of the ANSI SQL-92 standard for the
NonStop Server. The Director can use either SQL/MX or SQL/MP tables.
For more information about NonStop SQL/MX, see the NonStop SQL/MX manual set.
Application Server
Director software modules run as Java classes or Enterprise Java Beans. Modules are deployed under
NonStop WLS, a J2EE-compliant application server that extends the BEA WebLogic Server for
enhanced fault tolerance and scalability. NonStop WLS requires both the BEA WebLogic Server and the
HP NonStop Server Toolkit for WebLogic Server.
Message and Document Formats
The Real Time Supply Chain (RTSC) solution handles messages in two formats:
SAP Intermediate Documents (IDocs). This is the message format traditionally used by SAP
systems to exchange business data. Newer SAP systems--or the SAP XI Integration Server on
behalf of an older SAP system--can generate IDocs in XML format. RTSC specifically requires
IDocs to be in XML format.
●
Native XML. In this case, incoming documents are mapped directly to the data model, so that
segments in the XML file become records in the data store, and elements become fields in the data
store, with names corresponding exactly to the XML tag names.
