Understanding Operational Processes

Master index applications created by Oracle Java CAPS Master Index use a custom Java API library to transform and route data into and out of the master index database. In order to customize the way the Java methods transform the data, it is helpful to understand the logic of the primary processing functions and how messages are typically processed through the master index system.

This chapter describes and illustrates the processing flow of messages to and from the master index application, providing background information to help design and create custom processing rules for your implementation. This chapter discusses the following topics:

• Learning About Message Processing

• Inbound Message Processing

• Outbound Message Processing

• Inbound Message Processing Logic

• Primary Function Processing Logic
