Mapped parameter sets using bulk loading system and method

A method for establishing Uniform Resource Locator (URL) mapping rules implemented by a server operable in a network performed by a server having a processor and memory operating under the control of program code within a software module, the method comprising steps performed prior to a step of generating links by transforming an incoming URL received by the server from the network based on the URL mapping rules to determine a destination URL, the steps performed prior to the generating step comprising:

• storing remapping parameters and associated remapping parameter values in a parameter library in the server memory;
• populating, into the server, remapping parameter values by allowing a user to bulk load input into a previously downloaded parameter set template of the associated remapping parameter values,
• creating a URL mapping rule from the populated remapping parameter values in the previously downloaded parameter set template and further based on the remapping parameters stored in the parameter library;
• and
• executing post process step of executing post process specialized business logic after a URL mapping to append additional runtime parameters to the resulting Redirect URL.

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) mapping system for establishing URL mapping rules over a network, the URL mapping rule system being operatively configured such that a link generator can subsequently transform an incoming URL received by the server over the network based on the URL mapping rules to determine a destination URL, the URL mapping rule system, comprising:

• a server, comprising:
• a processor;
• a memory for storing program code;
• a parameter module containing program code which when executed by the processor causes the server to perform operations of storing remapping parameters and associated remapping parameter values in the server memory;
• a bulk loading module containing program code which when executed by the processor causes the server to perform operations to populate remapping parameter values by inputting into a previously downloaded parameter set template of the associated remapping parameter values;
• a URL mapping rule generator containing program code which when executed by the processor causes the server to perform operations of creating a URL mapping rule from the populated remapping parameter values in the previously downloaded parameter set template and further based on the remapping parameters stored in the server memory by the parameter module;
• and
• a rule handler module comprising program code which when executed by the processor causes the server to perform operations of executing post process specialized business logic after a URL mapping to append additional runtime parameters to the resulting Redirect URL.
