WorkDesk Enterprise Server
Work Desk Enterprise Server is the central core of the solution. Developed entirely in Java, respecting the web/enterprise standards, and so it is installable on an application server like:
● Oracle Application Server ;
● Oracle WebLogic Server;
● IBM WebSphere Application Server;
● Apache Tomcat;
● other J2EE containers.
The server needs a repository to retrieve all the information that are not managed by backend
systems and to store the varius modules configuration .
The repository can be:
● Oracle Database ;
● MySql;
● IBM DB2;
● Microsoft SQLServer;
● other DBMSs.
The integration with varius types of back-end systems is one of the main factor of the
enterprise server success. Through the using of Factory module the access, the retrieve, and the enterprise data update is transparent to client and server. Factory is the module that, after configuration through the WorkDesk MC, ensures communication with all major ERP systems, DBMS or third part softwares (as long as they are equipped with a web service interface or they give a SDK for the communications with other systems).
Some examples of available connectors:
1. web services;
2. SAP (through JCO interface);
3. Oracle JDEdwards Enterprise One;
4. Oracle Ebusiness Suite;
5. Oracle Database;
6. JDBC;
7. JMS.
The management of all basic operations is task of WorkDesk Engine that provides a set of
API that can be used by all modules. If necessary, these APIs can be provides to the enterprise or
to other software houses to allow the custumization of the Suite or the realization of new
modules.
Work Desk Enterprise Server ensures all quality requirements of a modern software and
highly innovative. Indeed, through a service oriented architetecture, realized through the
WorkDesk Services module, the Suite results:
● modular → the web services and APIs ensure the communications between all the
components, so it is easy to develop new modules or modify old modules;
● scalable → it is possibile to realize an architecture “grid”;
● flexible →it is possible to use only the module that are usefull for a specific
corporate; moreover, Factory, allows the integration with every back-end system;
● safe → the login to the Suite (by APIs and by Web services) is protected by the
Authenticator Controller that must validate the credentials of the customers and their
profile;
● transactional → the Transaction Manager ensures the requirements of the standard
ACID transaction property for transactions that sincronize the data from mobile device
to back-end.
The configuration of all components is made by using WorkDesk Administrator Panel.
