The SIF Agent - Features

WebBased products use the ZIAgent configurable agent to provide SIF services, enabling implementations to connect to new or existing frameworks, providing platforms that are:

• Scalable - deployments can be installed simply on a single server or across several servers to support large hosted environments with many customers
• Flexible - agents can support applications that use almost every commercially available database through a variety of interfaces
• Reliable - we've had years' of experience seeing what can happen in the field and have built detection and recovery procedures into ZIAgent. Companies who built agents using an ADK will likely gain this experience through trial and error.
• Secure - ZIAgent has many built-in features for data security and privacy that have come from customer requests such as message auditing, record filtering and activity logging.

How It Works

ZIAgent, like other SIF agents, runs as a web site. It communicates with a Zone Integration Server using standard Internet protocols (HTTP or HTTPS) using formats defined in the SIF specifications.

ZIAgent supports all of the security and authentication models allowed in the SIF specification as well as all of the other parts all versions of the SIF specification.

 

New Implementations

If you are new to SIF, you will need a Zone Integration Server (ZIS) (the software that passes messages betweek applications) and an agent for your MIS as well (so that it has the ability to pass messages to the ZIS). Visual Software can help you with these if you would like or this agent will work with those provided by other suppliers.
