System and method for legacy operating environment based access to non-legacy data

摘要

A method for legacy operating environment based access to non-legacy data includes: receiving, at a brokerage server, a non-legacy data object containing non-legacy content; generating a legacy data object containing the non-legacy content for storage in a directory; storing, in association with the legacy data object, a non-legacy distribution chain indicator; adjusting a legacy processing mechanism to the directory in accordance with the uninherited distribution chain indicator; receiving a client subsystem, through a legacy interface, of a request for non-legacy content; and in response to the request, retrieving and sending the legacy data object containing the non-legacy content, through the legacy interface.
