Integration Engine (PIE)

PRONTO Xi Integration Engine (PIE) is an efficient, cost-effective way to programmatically access information from PRONTO Xi to improve business agility and deliver on the benefits of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), self-service portals and other technology outside PRONTO Xi.

PIE allows incoming ‘calls’ to PRONTO Xi from COM objects, Java classes and SOAP requests.

In essence, these calls extend the Business Logic to programming languages such as Java, C/C++ and Visual Basic, as well as commercial applications that support Remote Procedure Calls and Web Services.

Rapid Deployment

Due to its straightforward architecture, PIE is typically easy to install and configure. An optional API Compiler takes your new and existing PRONTO Xi API code and creates the necessary extensions used by external applications. This ensures that your EAI, portal and dashboard projects are completed as quickly as possible.

Scalable Performance

A high-performance message broker forms the core of PIE. Optional message persistence ensures that transactions reach their destination in the event of a network failure. Dynamic adjustment of the message queue size in accordance with the load profile ensures application requests are answered quickly and resources are put to efficient use. PIE Sockets provide the means to scale throughput in and out of your PRONTO Xi system.

Simplified Administration

PIE features a browser-based workbench that shields administrators from the complexity of managing services on multiple operating systems. Workbench provides monitoring of critical items such as running services, transaction throughput, failed requests and diagnostic information.

High-level scripting supports the automation of routine tasks to ensure administrators can focus on providing user services, rather than spend time monitoring low-level system functions.
