What it
solves
What it does
What you need
Enable 'real time shipment tracking' of your OASIS
system from any computer which has access to the internet from a browser. It is a perfect
solution to allow:
- Your clients, shippers, consignees, agents to access latest shipping activity
residing on your OASIS server without modem or long distance charges.
- If you would like to explore how to connect, multiple site operations
centralizing data collection in one location\headquarter office, yet allowing multiple remote offices to
access OASIS over the internet and manipulating their shipments remotely,
see => eOASIS.
- Universal Internet access to data &
applications -- Server-based, full-featured applications that execute over
the Web.
- Economical network traffic supports a universal
thin client -- the middle layer requires Windows NT or Windows 95/98/2000 -- MGI,
Inc. applications will run within any Java-enabled browser, therefore allowing end-users (your clients, consignee's, agents or even your satellite offices)
to run on Unix, Macintosh, OS2 and Windows to access the application. Other current
solutions often involve huge runtimes -- that must be downloaded, installed and stored on
the client.
An Internet Enabled version of OASIS & an Application Broker.

Application Broker
- The Application Broker is a specialized Web server designed to
run the OASIS iTrack applications. It can run alone or with any other Web server.
- It comes complete with Java Support class libraries.
- Organizes message traffic
into a remote computing session.
- It routes events produced by the Java Support Library to
OASIS and routes HTML scripts produced by the application to the browser.
- The Application Broker must be installed on every Internet server that launches
the
- Utilizing open standards, the Application Broker sends the
application content, and the classes necessary to view it, to the client --
simultaneously.
- The Application Broker creates a persistent connection on behalf of each user.
Executable code is loaded only once, no matter how many concurrent users are logged in.
Each new user requires only 100s of KB of RAM to run OASIS internet enabled applications,
not megabytes -- providing excellent end-user performance, optimal resource utilization on
the Web server and a significant reduction of overhead.
- Robust, secure data management: The Application Broker provides fast, efficient
handling of simultaneous browser connections. It works within firewall security, allowing
secure access to data.
- You office should be connected to the Internet via a dedicated ISDN
\ DSL line,
available from your local phone company. This would allow 24 hour access to your systems
data from any time zone.
- You also need the services of an ISP "Internet Service Provided". You
don't need a web site, but in our opinion you should. We can create one for you
[link to MGI web design services] or if you
already have one, a button called [LINKS] or [CARGO TRACKING] should be created. This
button needs to have a hyperlink, pointing to a "static" IP address on your
companies network, where we would install the Application Broker.
- You also need an Internet Server such as WebSite by O'Reilley or Microsoft's IIS
which comes bundled with NT.
- We license & provide you a copy of iTrack and an ‘Applications
Broker’ to your company which we install on your companies WWW Server. This enables
access to the clients shipments within your network.
- We also map the drive letter T: on your server to your existing
OASIS data directory in order to enable data access.
- Your clients would hook up to you via the Internet (from Shanghai, China or Oshkosh,
Wisconsin - no Long Distance charges) and connect to your system in order to
track their shipments. Your employees continue
processing shipments, cutting documents, managing traffic etc.
Once installed, your customers can keep tabs on the flow of their logistical
information flow within your organization. With MGI, Inc.'s -
- Booking Number
