SYSTEM FOR STANDARDIZED EXECUTION OF DATA ENQUIRIES

Basic characteristics of the common application building block TRAY:
• operating as a reliable transport between enquiring system and the data sources
• neutralizes the technological particularities of data sources and their complexity
• enables the enquiring systems to better focus on data contents and data processing
• the data are stored only temporarily until the enquiring system receives them, afterwards only the traffic metadata are kept in the logs
• extreme flexibility, adding data sources and enquiring systems without programming
• simple modelling of a data gathering process, for a specific application/purpose
• support for the simple and complex enquiries, parallel or serial execution of enquiries
• full support for the asynchronous data sources, waiting for the answers
• compensating short unavailability periods of a data source, powerful auto-resume functionality
• monitoring and automatic alerts in case of serious data source unavailabilities
• smoothing data exchange flow mitigating disruptions through machine learning methods
• multi-purpose, usable in all information systems where data from many data sources are needed
