ITAC GIS Extensions and Services

Components

E-Mail – TNEF & UUENCODE

The GIS Mail Mime Service handles standard MIME encoded E-Mail. Microsoft mail systems sometimes use a proprietary encoding called TNEF to encode E-Mail attachments. The ITAC TNEF Service allows you to decode E-Mail attachments that have been encoded in the TNEF format.

Some legacy E-Mail systems still use Uuencoding for encoding binary attachments. This is still common in the shipping industry. The ITAC Uuencoding Service allows you to create Uuencoded E-Mails and to decode Uuencoded Emails

Base64 Encode/Decode

With the growth in the use of XML messaging, Base64 has become a popular encoding format to imbed Binary or non-Text data into an XML message. The ITAC Base64 Service allows you to encode and decode data in Base64 format within your Business Process

XML to PDF

The ITAC XML2PDF Service allows you to utilise XSL-FO to convert XML data into PDF documents directly within your Business Process. It utilises the FOP engine from Apache

XML Differencing

One of the challenges in supply chain messaging is determining what has changed between versions of a Business Document received from a Trading Partner, such as an Order (Original) and an Order Change document. The ITAC XMLDiff Service allows you to compare two XML documents. The result is a new XML document which highlights the changes

X400 Enveloping and De-Enveloping

Though a dying communications standard, X.400 networks still exist today. GIS has no native way to allow you to produce or consume X.400 envelopes. The ITAC X400 Service provides this capability

WebSphere MQ/JMS RFH2

When utilising the bridge between JMS and IBM WebSphere MQ, JMS can pass additional message meta-data in RFH2 headers. The GIS WebSphere Adapters do not support RFH2. The ITAC RFH2 Service allows you to read and write RFH2 headers from WebSphere MQ messages

JDBC User Exit (Maps)

Ever wanted to access other database tables from a GIS Map? Need to verify prices or product codes from your business system databases? The ITAC JDBC User Exit can be called from any GIS Map to Insert, Update, Select or Delete records from any database that has a connection pool defined in GIS

BP/Map/XSLT Extraction Utility

The ITAC Component Extraction Service can extract the BPML Source code, Maps (map, mxl, txo) and XSLT source from GIS Export packages. Simply pass the GIS Export file to a Business Process with this Service and the components will be saved to the GIS file-system

PGP with GnuPG

Interested in utilising PGP with GIS but don’t want to buy a commercial PGP engine? The ITAC PGP Option utilises the GnuPG open source PGP engine and can be used with the GIS PGP Adapter (provides easier management) or as a standalone solution

Get/Set HTTP Headers

The GIS HTTP Server Adapters allow you to receive and send “Raw” messages. This allows you to access the HTTP Header Extensions. Unfortunately GIS does not provide a way for you to parse these Headers or to create them. The ITAC HTTP Header Service allows you to utilise HTTP Header Extensions

Character Encoding

GIS provides the Encoding Service to allow you to convert data from one Character encoding to another. Unfortunately before you can utilise this Service you need to determine the data’s current encoding format. The ITAC Character Encoding Service can identify the current encoding of the data
