Method of and system for controlling task-oriented systems utilizing an application programming interface

摘要

A method of, and system for, using a high-level, task-oriented Application Programming Interface (API) to access a legacy system, the method including the steps of: (a) providing the legacy system, including emulation software for accessing the legacy system; (b) operating a low level API over the emulation software; (c) operating the high-level, task-oriented application programming interface over the low level API, and (d) implementing database access protocol emulation over the high-level API.
