2.1 Configurable Network Computing
OneWorld is built on a
The CNC architecture provides greater flexibility, scalability, and systems management ease by focusing on networks, rather than individual machines. With it, you’ll be able to change your network configuration at run time to support changing processes, organizational structures, and technology choices.
OneWorld comprises the following components:
•Design Tools
OneWorld provides a unified set of tools to create all interactive applications, batch applications, and reports.
•Applications
OneWorld provides the interactive and batch applications that perform your business needs. For example, Purchase Order Entry and General Ledger Post are applications.
•OneWorld Foundation Code
OneWorld provides underlying core processing that both interactive and batch applications depend on to run. The Configurable Processing Engine processes batch applications in OneWorld.
•OneWorld Middleware
OneWorld provides middleware that insulates your applications from the underlying database, operating system, hardware, messaging systems, and telecommunications protocols. This insulates your business solution from the platform technology.
2.2The Advantages of Configurable Network Computing
The advantages of CNC include:
•
OneWorld's middleware is comprised of a common set of APIs that integrate multivendor, multiprotocol differences to insulate developers from the need to program to a specific platform.
•Flexible, leveraged technology
