Abstract
A system automatically configures a data exchange system used for exchanging data between different computer systems using different data formats. The system includes an input processor for receiving an input message having a first data format employed by a particular message source and a configuration processor. The configuration processor parses and interprets the input message to identify characteristics including individual data fields and updates stored data conversion information for use in converting data from the particular message source having the first data format to a desired output format used by a target destination system, in response to the identified characteristics.

A system for automatically configuring a data exchange system used for exchanging data between different computer systems using different data formats, comprising:
- an input processor for receiving an input message having a first data format employed by a particular message source;
- and
- a configuration processor for,
- parsing and interpreting said input message to identify characteristics including individual data fields, and
- updating stored data conversion information for use in converting data from said particular message source having said first data format to a desired output format used by a target destination system, in response to said identified characteristics.
A system for automatically configuring a data exchange system used for exchanging data between different computer systems using different data formats, comprising:
- an input processor for receiving an input message having a first data format employed by a particular message source;
- and
- a configuration processor for,
- parsing and interpreting said input message to identify characteristics including individual data fields, and
- creating stored data conversion information for use in converting data from said particular message source having said first data format to a desired output format used by a target destination system, in response to said identified characteristics.
A system for automatically configuring a data exchange system used for exchanging data between different computer systems using different data formats, comprising:
- an input processor for receiving an input message having a first data format employed by a particular message source;
- and
- a configuration processor for,
- parsing and interpreting said input message to identify characteristics including individual data fields, and
- deleting stored data conversion information previously used in converting data from said particular message source having said first data format to a desired output format used by a target destination system, in response to said identified characteristics.
A method for automatically configuring a data exchange system used for exchanging data between different computer systems using different data formats comprising the activities of:
- receiving an input message having a first data format employed by a particular message source;
- automatically parsing and interpreting said input message to identify characteristics including individual data fields, and
- automatically modifying data conversion information used in converting data from said particular message source having said first data format to a desired output format used by a target destination system, in response to said identified characteristics.
