Dynamic Gateway Frame
 

Intelligent Platform Technology as Basis

To integrate new service components successfully into an existing system, a special gateway technology is required. It must combine in-house and external system elements although they are consisting of different interface definitions. Simple, quick and without complex changes to the existing system.

In the ideal case external services should be combinable in any order with in-house products. Therefore, all modules and business processes should be integrated into the Mid-/Back office – including handling of payment.

The Solution

All this offers the dynamic Gateway Frame based on logic. The Gateway Frame system connects systems with different interface definitions by means of a new developed technology. Via the connection of different interface formats (XML, STADIS®, etc.), an open communication platform to all established touristic systems is generated.

The dynamic Gateway Frame is a basic functionality, which can be configured and implemented quickly to an individual Gateway. It consists of a configurable interface- and workflow engine for the operation of interfaces and process control.

Performance Features

  • Session handling for buffering of any data which are needed during a process.
  • Configurable Interface-Engine on XML-Basis for utilisation of different interfaces.
  • Workflow-Engine for controlling different processes based on received data within the Interface-Engine.
  • Configurable Caching-Algorithms.
  • Provisioning of external services in Frontend including integration to existing Mid- and Backend systems.
  • Verification of Frontend information for the relaying to other systems.


The Technology

  • The Gateway Frame is realised in latest, highly performant Java technologies.
  • High stability and scalability by utilisation of common Application-Server (e.g. BEA WebLogic® or JBOSS).
  • No special hard- and software platform is necessary.
  • The configuration of all interface- and workflow descriptions is based on XML.
  • By pre-setting the adapted Gateway Frame, adjustments to existing Gateways are unnecessary.
  • Highest data security via SSL-encryption and firewalls.


On this technical basis znt Travel has developed the product lines DynaPack and DynaGate especially for the touristic industry.

With DynaPack, services of different tour operator can be combined in a basket of goods function and can be booked online as complete travel package. DynaGate for example provides the possibility for a complete CRS/GDS connection or the use of the STEAL®- or XML technologies for utilisation of dynamic part-templates in the CRS systems without adjustments to existing gateways.
