Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing reliable data transfer operations over a global computer network (130) are provided. This is accomplished by transmitting (135) data stored on a first computer system connected to the global computer network (130) to a second computer system connected to the global computer network (130), sending a receipt acknowledgment signal to the first computer system when the data is received (145) on the second computer system, monitoring acknowledgment signals received by the first computer system, and automatically transmitting the data via facsimile if the receipt of the data is not acknowledged within a predetermined time period. In addition, a paging signal is automatically transmitted to a the business partner to indicate that the data has been transferred by facsimile. Unlike prior art techniques, in which data transfers are performed in batch off-line, embodiments of the invention allow for secure data transfer operations to be performed on-line in real-time. In addition, since a global computer network (130) is utilized, there is no need to maintain a dedicated communication line between the first and the second computer system, but rather a single network connection can be used by the first and the second computer system to communicate with any number of computer systems connected to the global computer network (130).

Abstract: In accordance to an embodiment of the present invention a method and apparatus for performing event-driven data transfer operations over a global computer network are provided. This is accomplished by extracting data from a database stored on a first computer system connected to a global computer network, monitoring the data extracted from the database to determine whether the data is ready to be transmitted to a second computer system connected to the global computer network, and transmitting the data to the second computer system. The second computer system, in turn, receives the data transmitted from the first computer system, monitors the data to determine whether the data is ready to be merged into a database stored on the second computer system, and merges the data into the database.
Unlike prior art techniques, in which data transfers are performed in batch off-line, embodiments of the invention allow for secure data transfer operations to be performed on-line in real-time. In addition, since a global computer network is utilized, there is no need to maintain a dedicated communication line between the first and the second computer system, but rather a single network connection can be used by the first and the second computer system to communicate with any number of computer systems connected to the global computer network.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing bi-directional data transfer operations over a global computer network (130) are provided. This is accomplished by extracting (115) data from a database stored on a first computer system connected to the global network (130), transmitting (135) the data extracted from the database to a second computer system connected to the global computer network, receiving (145) on the first computer system data transmitted (135) from the second computer system, and merging (165) the data received (145) from the second computer system into the database stored on the first computer system. These operations are performed in a substantially contemporaneous manner. Unlike prior art techniques, in which data transfers are performed in batch off-line, embodiments of the invention allow for secure data transfer operations to be performed on-line in real-time. In addition, since a global computer network (130) is utilized, there is no need to maintain a dedicated communication line between the first and the second computer system, but rather a single network connection can be used by the first and the second computer system to communicate with any number of computer systems connected to the global computer network (130).
