Solution Layers
The above figure describes the roles of the individual elements in the layers that involve the solution. The following is a summary of each layer:
Backend Services and Database Layer The solution has comprehensive and integrated tools that allow you to expose Natural legacy applications business rules in a very easy and quick way using a graphical interface. This reduces error-prone manual tasks and also allows for code testing and debugging. The Natural applications can be hosted on mainframe or Linux, UNIX and Windows (LUW) platforms.
Integration, Rules and Orchestration Layer This layer provides the ability to develop process flows using the available assets (web services) and to integrate heterogeneous technologies. It provides all the capabilities needed to quickly create or change dynamic business applications, enabling end-to end control and visibility of the modeled process and orchestration.
This layer also includes the following:
Web Service Repository Component The solution provides a repository and allows management of assets (web services). This helps enterprises to securely expose Natural web services, and developers can thus easily create new web, mobile and cloud apps. As a result, you can reach new customers, support new devices, and obtain new sources of revenue.
Presentation Layer Presentation functionality is available to the users by using portal technology. With the presentation layer, it is possible to manage the infrastructure components and also to monitor the process (instances, tasks, status, etc.).
