Object-oriented communication server for banking applications (abstract)
Ion Cartiant · 1992
In France, there is a generalized file transfer method used for customer-bank information exchange, on X25 networks and on telephone switched lines (BSC 2780/3780 like protocol). It is used by (almost) all France-based banks, and thousands of customers.RONDO is an 00 file server, supporting these protocols. It was developed in BORLAND C++, with TURBO VISION graphics library. Without the included files, the overall code lines, as reported by the project manager, are 22,000. The server works fine on a 386 based PC, DOS 5.0. RONDOs capabilities are:support up to four file transfers on public switched communication lines, and four file transfers on X25 virtual circuits, simultaneously,on-line verification of incoming files for format correctness, andon-line surveillance and administration.The demonstrations purposes are:present a real-time application of the 00 technology, including interrupt control and encapsulation of an OEM X25 driver (not 00);present a brand new user comfort for DOS communication applications;real time information about incoming transfers;optional operator zoom on different monitors: status, statistics, log, traffic, trace, file verification;configuration control;client diagnosis and support;present the internal objects grouped in 4 domains: communication, administration, user interface, and system extension.Through graphic objects, this technology brings a spectacular new comfort to DOS users with less overhead than in graphical environments. For developers it provides reusable objects and simple building logic.
