Tracking of document status through multiple computer networks

A method of tracking status of a computerized document through multiple computer networks, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a middleware management architecture, a first document from a first network, the first document being a file stored at the first network;
• performing, at the middleware management architecture, a first function on the first document, causing a change in the status of the first document;
• logging the change in the status of the first document in a record corresponding to the first document in a memory;
• sending the first document to a second network via a transmission protocol layer;
• receiving, in a layer other than the transmission protocol layer, from the second network, a notification of a change in status of the first document within the second network, the layer other than the transmission protocol layer being an integration layer having defined therein a plurality of status codes, the notification including one of the status codes;
• logging the change to the status of the first document in the second network in the record corresponding to the first document in the memory;
• and
• reporting, to the first network, information corresponding to the change in the status of the first document in the middleware management architecture and the change in the status of the first document in the second network.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions, which when implemented by one or more machines, cause the one or more machines to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, at a middleware management architecture, a first document from a first network, the first document being a file stored at the first network;
• performing, at the middleware management architecture, a first function on the first document, causing a change in the status of the first document;
• logging the change in the status of the first document in a record corresponding to the first document in a memory;
• sending the first document to a second network via a transmission protocol layer;
• receiving, in a layer other than the transmission protocol layer, from the second network, a notification of a change in status of the first document within the second network, the layer other than the transmission protocol layer being an integration layer having defined therein a plurality of status codes, the notification including one of the status codes;
• logging the change to the status of the first document in the second network in the record corresponding to the first document in the memory;
• and
• reporting, to the first network, information corresponding to the change in the status of the first document in the middleware management architecture and the change in the status of the first document in the second network.
