The Courier manages the logistics of input and output data between the processes in the workflow; receiving/sending transactions as XML/SOAP messages, loading/extracting flat files to/from database tables, performing the actions of network copy, ftp get/put, sftp get/put. The Mapper performs data mapping for achieving compatible data schemas in the data flow. Mapper performs the normalization of external system data schema into enterprise data schema through XSL transforms and advanced filters performing data conversions and mapping. Prism core engine is the asynchronous message broker that accepts XML/SOAP messages as requests and generates one or more XML/SOAP responses for the relevant target systems. A response message is generated for each system that shares the pivot key in the request document. Example, inventory information is the pivot key in a Reservation request, shared by the Central Reservation System and the Front Desk System.
