Short description of invention:
PROGRAM LOGIC FOR CONTROLLING COMMANDS OF AN APPLICATION
SOFTWARE
A method for controlling the commands of an
application software, e.g. of a business software for banks or the like,
in a client-server environment with a predefinable operating system, using
several base-client functions (BCF) as interfaces to the application
software and several service-client functions (SCF) as interfaces to the
system-related components. At least one predefined service-client function
is allocated to each base-client function, and at least one specific
base-client function is asynchronously called and executed by a central
program control in connection with the allocated service-client function;
the functions are implemented on a predefined transport layer of the
operating systems, and predefined service-client functions use specific
functions of the transport layer. A command in the application software is
executed using a function bar, in which the processing sequence of
base-client functions is defined. By creating and using these neutral
interfaces, one can minimize the effort for project-specific adjustments
and conversions to a different operating system. (Excerpt from the utility model
