Abstract: A method and system for allowing access to an exchange by a casual user without compromising exchange security. The present invention allows a casual user to provide required input and complete simple business transactions without becoming a registered member of the exchange. The system knows what information to provide to or to collect from the casual user and provides him with a context sensitive personal identification number (CS-PIN) to allow access for that purpose.

Abstract: A trading information exchange system includes a gateway allowing access of suppliers and retailer workstations and retailer systems to a backbone sub-system. An application layer interacts with a work flow engine via a supporting framework and a commerce platform. The latter have direct access to the gateway for monitoring supplier and retailer accesses and to the database for logging purposes. Collaborative applications comprise a timer program interacting with a work queue in the work flow engine. The timer program operates on a test-and-wait or a test-and-return basis. A community management function interacts with the work flow engine to define roles and the roles are linked with activities in process nodes. Each process node comprises an activity, case packet item variables, and rules defining routing of the activities to the work queues.

Abstract: A system using an electronic data interchange (EDI), which can also be referred to as a message broker or integration broker, handles the passage of data, such as files or electronic mail, between multiple computers. When transferring data from a computer internal to the network in which the message broker is located to a computer external to the network, a transfer protocol is used, such as FTP or SMTP. The message broker determines the transfer protocol to be used and invokes an initiator, which supports the determined transfer protocol, to make the data transfer according to the determined transfer protocol. The initiator can be implemented as a plug-in module to the message broker and may communicate with the message broker through a generic interface, which may be implemented as an application programming interface API.
