Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for mapping file identifications is disclosed. The method on a server includes receiving a file from a first partner, wherein the file is intended for a second partner. The file includes a first partner ID. If the server finds in a database a second partner ID corresponding to the first partner ID, the server integrates the second partner ID with the file and proceeds to send the file to the second partner. If the server does not find in the database a second partner ID corresponding to the first partner ID, the server generates a global file ID for the file. Then the server integrates the global file ID with the file and proceeds to send the file to the second partner. Subsequently, the server enters a link between the first partner ID and the second partner ID in the database.

Abstract: A method and system and computer readable medium for: (1) the creation and representation of business rule definitions, (2) the creation and representation of enforcing rule handlers, (3) the creation and representation of a framework to check the existence of rules then, apply the appropriate handler, (4) and the distribution of the rule definitions and handlers to clients. The present invention defines a rule language and provides a framework that separates the definition of the rules, the enforcing handler, the system at which rules are generated and the system at which rules are enforced. Further, in one embodiment, the present invention uses standard XML notations to define rules and standard XSL and XSLT processing instructions to enforce rules. Using standard XML, XSL and SXLT allows clients to use off-the-shelf XML parser and XSL processors in lieu of developed code or rule based engines.
