Filed:

Mar 16, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/527627

Inventors:

Adam Richards - Concord CA

Assignee:

Charles Schwab Co., Inc. - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

707200, 707102

Abstract:

A method and apparatus generates identifiers of database records apart from the database. One or more application programs may request an identifier of a transaction, and a stored identifier of a prior transaction is incremented or otherwise altered to produce the identifier of the transaction. The identifier is provided to the application program, which uses it as an identifier of a record of a database if such a record is created. If a system failure occurs, the database is scanned to identify the most recently issued identifier stored in the database, for example by requesting from the database the highest transaction number stored, and that number is used to generate the next transaction number.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00
G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 37, 705 26

Abstract:

A method of and system for conducting electronic commerce segments an enterprise is segmented into a single firm side system, and multiple customer facing and street side systems. The firm side system maintains a single system of record for the enterprise. The customer facing systems provide an interface between the enterprise and the customer. The street side systems are in communication with the customer facing systems. The street side systems provide an interface between the enterprise and various markets.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

709203, 709205, 719313, 719318

Abstract:

A computing system architecture is based upon a peer-to-peer, asynchronous model. The architecture specifies a set of infrastructure facilities that comprise an inter-prise operating system. The inter- prise operating system provides all the facilities that make application coding as easy in the peer-to-peer asynchronous model as it is in a hierarchical, synchronous model. Services, which reside in containers, are linked asynchronously by an inter-prise bus and use data from a virtual data store.
