Learning About Message Processing

This section provides a summary of how inbound and outbound messages can be processed in a master index application. A master index application cross-references records stored in various computer systems of an organization and identifies records that might represent or do represent the same object. The master index application uses web services to connect to and share data with these external systems.

Figure 1 illustrates the flow of information through a master index application that includes a JMS Topic to which updates to the index are published.
