Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cross-system interface docking systems, and in particular to a flexibly configured cross-system interface docking method and system. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion and complexity of corporate business, data exchange and information synchronization between different systems are becoming more and more important. This technical solution aims to achieve seamless connection between the upstream logistics system (system A) and the downstream logistics system (system B), realize accurate data conversion and synchronization through parameter mapping technology, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of logistics business.

[0003] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an efficient, accurate and flexible cross-system interface docking solution, which is particularly suitable for data exchange and information synchronization between upstream and downstream systems in the logistics industry. With the continuous development and diversification of corporate business, data sharing and collaborative work between different systems have become essential. However, since different systems may use different data structures, naming conventions and data formats, direct interface docking often faces problems such as data conversion difficulties, information loss or misunderstanding.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to achieve seamless connection between system A (such as upstream logistics system) and system B (such as downstream logistics system) by introducing parameter mapping technology. Parameter mapping technology can intelligently identify, convert and synchronize key data between the two systems to ensure the accuracy and consistency of data. Through preset parameter mapping rules, the system can automatically convert the request of system A into a format that can be understood by system B, and map the response of system B into a format that can be understood by system A, thereby eliminating the possibility of manual intervention and errors.

[0005] In addition, another object of the present invention is to improve the scalability and flexibility of the system. Through the configuration and management of the parameter mapping database, the administrator can easily add, modify or delete mapping rules according to actual needs to meet the data exchange requirements between different systems. This flexibility enables the system to quickly adapt to changes in enterprise business and updates to the technical environment.

[0006] In summary, the purpose of the present invention is to achieve efficient, accurate and flexible docking of cross-system interfaces through parameter mapping technology, improve the business efficiency and data accuracy of the logistics industry, and provide strong technical support for the development of enterprises.
