Cisco Sytems and WorkplaceIQ, Inc.
Cisco Systems, Inc. is the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet and
WorkplaceIQ is a technology solutions provider for the real estate industry.
We integrated applications for Cisco Systems and WorkPlaceIQ by accepting and
manipulating XML documents (related to property management), and Web Services.
The project has two main functions: Import and Export. Import covers all steps
needed to receive documents from Cisco, process/map documents and access WPIQ
web services to update the property management system. Export covers all steps
needed to access WPIQ web services to extract data out of the property management
system, split them into single-record documents and route them to Cisco.
Both Import and Export rely on a number of custom components that work with BizTalk
Server and WPIQ web services to process and route XML data. These components are as
follows:
- ASP.NET page to receive documents: ReceiveDoc.aspx
- BizTalk Application Integration Component that acts as an adapter between BizTalk
Server and WPIQ web services
- WPIQ Web Service proxy component that communicates with the web service: WorkPlaceIQ.DataTransport
- Export Application that runs at scheduled intervals to export data using web services: wpiqExport
- XML Splitter component that converts exported XML documents into single-record XML documents: XMLSplitter
The system accepted incoming documents through ASP.NET from WebMethods and routed them to BizTalk
Server for processing based on various criteria configured in the database. We configured BizTalk
to map incoming documents to desired formats. We created components to call web services to parse
the documents mapped by BizTalk and insert data in the database. We created COM+ components to call
web services and transmit/receive XML documents.
