Abstract
A system, method and program product for copying data between disjoint data processing applications. A system is disclosed that includes: a source application having a system for selecting a data record and a triggering agent that extracts relevant data from the selected data record, launches a dialog box and displays the extracted relevant data in the dialog box; and a data transfer system having a keystroke simulator for copying and pasting data from the dialog box to an interface window in a target application based on a set of data transfer rules.
Claims15
A system for copying data between disjoint applications, comprising:
- a source application having a system for selecting a data record and a triggering agent that extracts relevant data from the selected data record, launches a dialog box and displays the extracted relevant data in the dialog box;
- and
- a data transfer system having a keystroke simulator for copying and pasting data from the dialog box to an interface window in a target application based on a set of data transfer rules.
A program product stored on a computer readable medium for copying data between disjoint applications, comprising:
- program code configured to allow a user to select a data record;
- program code configured to extract relevant data from the selected data record, launch a dialog box and display the extracted relevant data in the dialog box;
- and
- program code configured for copying and pasting data from the dialog box to an interface window in a target application based on a set of data transfer rules.
A method of copying data between disjoint applications, comprising:
- selecting a data record in a source application;
- extracting data from the data record;
- launching a dialog box;
- displaying the extracted data in the dialog box;
- displaying a target application window;
- and
- copying and pasting the extracted data into the target application window in accordance with a set of data transfer rules.
A method for deploying an application for copying data between disjoint data processing applications, comprising:
- providing a computer infrastructure being operable to:
- select a data record;
- initiate a triggering agent to extract relevant data from the selected data record, launch a dialog box and display the extracted relevant data in the dialog box;
- and
- copy and paste data from the dialog box to an interface window in a target application based on a set of data transfer rules.
Computer software embodied in a propagated signal for copying data between disjoint data processing applications, the computer software comprising instructions to cause a computer to perform the following functions:
- select a data record;
- initiate a triggering agent to extract relevant data from the selected data record, launch a dialog box and display the extracted relevant data in the dialog box;
- and
- copy and paste data from the dialog box to an interface window in a target application based on a set of data transfer rules.
