Abstract: The invention includes a system and method for tracking errors, the system residing on a user's desktop communicating with a central database over a network. The system comprises an error log including error recording tools for enabling the user to record an error; error resolution tools for enabling the user to resolve the error; and error follow-up tools for enabling a user to follow up on resolved errors; error reporting tools for enabling a user to generate error reports from the user's desktop; and communication tools for enabling the user to transmit logged errors to the central database and to receive reports generate from errors logged in the central database.

Abstract: The method and system of the invention provides a technique for transferring files from a first location to a second location using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). That is, the invention provides a method of transferring files using FTP from a first memory associated with a first processing portion to a second processing portion, the method comprising placing a file in the first memory; determining the destination of the file based on configuration parameters associated with the first memory, the destination of the file being the second processing portion; and attempting to establish a connection between the first processing portion and the second processing portion in order to transfer the file from the first memory to the second processing portion.

Abstract: The invention includes a system and method for secure transmission of information. The system includes a source system for generating, encrypting, and transmitting a data file and a host system for receiving and decrypting the transmitted data file. Both the host system and the source system include delivery confirmation tools for confirming that the sent files correspond to the received files. A corresponding method comprises generating a data file at the source system, encrypting the generated data file, and sending the encrypted data file. A host system receives and decrypts the encrypted data file. The source system generates a list of sent files and the host system generates a list of received files. Comparison tools verify delivery by comparing the list of sent files with the list of received files.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for performing data transfer with a destination entity. The system may comprise a generation portion that performs a data set generation process to generate a data set, the data set to be forwarded to the destination entity; a tracking portion that inputs tracking data regarding operations performed on the data set; and a transmission portion, the transmission portion receiving the data set from the generation portion and transmitting the data set to the destination entity, the transmission portion outputting transmission notification information to the tracking portion in conjunction with transmitting the data set to the destination entity. Further, the system may include a communication portion for receiving an acknowledgement from the destination entity, the communication portion outputting any received acknowledgment to the tracking portion.

Abstract: A mainframe connection system usable with multiple software applications is provided. The mainframe connection system operates between a client device, a server, and a mainframe computer. The mainframe connection system includes a set of client tools residing on the client device. The client tools comprise mainframe connection tools for creating a reference to a server object on the server, messaging tools for requesting a connection and sending a request string, and access tools for accessing a result stored on the server. A set of server tools residing on the server comprises interfacing tools for utilizing a server object for sending the request string to the mainframe computer and receiving a response from the mainframe computer, and server storage means for storing a result received from the mainframe computer.

Abstract: A system and process for routing information in a data processing system. The process includes the steps of checking an inbox periodically to determine if new data has been received in the inbox, determining a destination for the new data based on a routing table associated with the inbox if new data has been received in the inbox, and transmitting the new data to the determined destination.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically encrypting and decrypting data for transmission. The process includes retrieving a file from a destination based transmit folder, encrypting the file, and transmitting the file to an outgoing folder for transmission to the destination. The file is encrypted with an encryption process associated with the destination based transmit folder. The process also includes retrieving a file from a destination based received folder, decrypting the file, and transmitting the file to an outgoing folder for access at the destination. The file is decrypted with a decryption process associated with the destination based received folder.
