System, method, and computer program for metadata driven interface orchestration and mapping

A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising computer code for:

• defining, by a system, a plurality of job items in a master enterprise catalogue by mapping all possible business requests to one or more pre-defined job items, wherein each job item of the plurality of job items defines a message structure required for communicating a task to a corresponding external system;
• defining, by the system, job specifications in the master enterprise catalogue by mapping the plurality of job items to one or more pre-defined job specifications, wherein each of the job specifications is a representation of a particular outgoing request;
• defining, by the system, a job list in the master enterprise catalogue by building a sequence of outgoing requests based on possible use cases and the job specifications;
• receiving, by the system, an order context associated with one or more orders;
• automatically generating, by the system, a job plan including a plurality of activities utilizing the job list from the master enterprise catalogue and the order context wherein the job plan is an instantiation of the job list which orchestrates execution of outgoing requests, and wherein each activity of the plurality of activities is an instantiation of one of the job specifications and represents a single request to be sent to a particular external system;
• and
• automatically generating, by the system, interfaces with a plurality of external systems based on the job plan including the plurality of activities for use in communicating the outgoing requests to the plurality of external systems.

A system, comprising one or more processors, operable for:

• defining, by the system, a plurality of job items in a master enterprise catalogue by mapping all possible business requests to one or more pre-defined job items, wherein each job item of the plurality of job items defines a message structure required for communicating a task to a corresponding external system;
• defining, by the system, job specifications in the master enterprise catalogue by mapping the plurality of job items to one or more pre-defined job specifications, wherein each of the job specifications is a representation of a particular outgoing request;
• defining, by the system, a job list in the master enterprise catalogue by building a sequence of outgoing requests based on possible use cases and the job specifications;
• receiving, by the system, an order context associated with one or more orders;
• automatically generating, by the system, a job plan including a plurality of activities utilizing the job list from the master enterprise catalogue and the order context, wherein the job plan is an instantiation of the job list which orchestrates execution of outgoing requests, and wherein each activity of the plurality of activities is an instantiation of one of the job specifications and represents a single request to be sent to a particular external system;
• and
• automatically generating, by the system, interfaces with a plurality of external systems based on the job plan including the plurality of activities for use in communicating the outgoing requests to the plurality of external systems.
