  • Patent number: 7783714
    Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the invention manage messages transported between a first computer system and a second computer system. For instance, in one embodiment, According to another exemplary embodiment, a method obtains a business object identifier that identifies a business object associated with a first message to be transported over a network from the first computer system to the second computer system. The method may then generate a transport identifier associated with the transported message. The method may then route the first message the second computer system, such that the routing generates a second message that is transported to the second computer system. The method then obtains the second message transported to the second computer system. Finally, the method creates a data structure in memory including the transport identifier, the business object identifier, and the second message.

  • Patent number: 7743386
    Abstract: To improve access to message content in a message exchange system, a context object is defined for the message as an abstraction of the message content. The context object can be assigned to many different message communication interfaces, thereby allowing context objects to be reused across various interfaces. The context object provides access both to a message payload, and parts of a message other than the payload, such as technical data. Accordingly, access to message content for various tasks and applicability to a number of different message interfaces is improved.
