An application residing in the WWW server system may use DTS to interact with company operative
systems, located in other hardware platforms. An end user can use his WWW browser for making
queries and updates to company databases, whether they reside in one or more different systems.
The message based approach isolates the WWW server environment and actual interface applications
from the database operation routines and operative data. This is especially important since
public WWW servers are always under a very potential risk of intrusion and conscious misuse.
The middleware solution gives a secure concept for providing application services in Internet,
for example.
In addition to the high level of security, the message based approach also isolates your
WWW application from the physical structure of the databases. Changes at the internal server
side do not imply a requirement to change the WWW interface application at the public WWW server.
From the point of view of transaction performance, DTS always minimises the internal network load
by transferring only the data required by the applications.
