Consistent interface for customer contract and customer contract template - message set 2

A distributed system operating in a landscape of computer systems providing message-based services defined in a service registry, the system comprising:

• a graphical user interface comprising computer readable instructions, embedded on tangible media, for to enable a form-based output for a customer contract notification, the instructions using a request;
• a first memory storing a user interface controller for processing the request and involving a message including a message package hierarchically organized as:
• a form customer contract notification message entity;
• and
• a customer contract package including a customer contract entity, wherein the customer contract entity includes an identifier, and wherein the customer contract entity further includes an administrator party entity from a party package;
• and
• a second memory, remote from the graphical user interface, storing a plurality of service interfaces, wherein one of the service interfaces is operable to process the message via the service interface.

A computer readable medium including program code for providing a message-based interface for exchanging information about customer contract templates, the medium comprising:

• program code for receiving via a message-based interface exposing at least one service as defined in a service registry and from a heterogeneous application executing in an environment of computer systems providing message-based services, a first message for notifying of a template for a customer contract that defines a structure and conditions of standardized customer contracts, the first message including a message package hierarchically organized as:
• a customer contract template notification message entity;
• and
• a customer contract template package including a customer contract template entity, wherein the customer contract template entity includes an identifier, a processing type code, a name, system administrative data, and a universally unique identifier;
• and
• program code for sending a second message to the heterogeneous application responsive to the first message.
