Invention manages underlying application objects that support implemented business functions. A performance manager accesses and interprets application metadata and execution environment metadata, using a hierarchical entity to model complex relationships between application abstractions, components and resources. The performance manager encodes common behavioral and architecture information in models resulting from analysis of component architecture standards, vendor application servers, development tools and administration tools. The performance manager conducts inter-component dependency and control flow analysis, for example by generating control flow graphs from application metadata and performing byte code analysis without access to application source code. The performance manager collects metrics from standardized and vendor-specific sources, instruments interpreters (such as the Java Virtual Machine), and collects and utilizes resource metrics, code performance metrics, configuration parameters, and transaction, failure and lifecycle events.

A personalized marketing and registration wizard for businesses is provided. Data is gleaned from a portal profile database to drive one-to-one marketing, registration, upselling, and cross-selling of partner services and centralized portal tools.

A business application integrates a company's internal business systems with an e-commerce web site, so that company personnel can manage their business with a business application that seamlessly exports relevant, up-to-date data to a web site designed to interact with customers across the Web. The business application provides business functions for manipulating merchandising data stored in a merchandising database. In addition, to accommodate an intermittent connection to the Internet or otherwise to the web hosting server, the business application supports the generation of a replica, from the merchandising database, that can be exported to a web hosting server. A web application executing at the web hosting server generates web pages based on merchandising data stored in the partial replica. The customer can provide feedback, possibly representing purchase orders or customer information changes, for example, that can be automatically entered into the company's business system. Alternatively, the customer can download a client replica, generated from the partial replica at the web hosting server, for use during periods of disconnection from the web hosting server. Thereafter, the client replica and the partial replica can be synchronized to update each other with modified data. Furthermore, the partial replica and the merchandising database can also be synchronized.

A system and method for engaging in a credit or debit transaction do not transmit an individual's account number to a vendor or merchant. The individual provides the account number to a transaction acquiring device (TAD). The TAD requires the individual to provide one or more pseudo-random numbers that identify the individual. These numbers are only obtainable from an authentication device that can be unlocked only by passing an authentication challenge. The TAD then provides transaction data to a credit or debit issuer and the vendor, but does not provide or store the account number. The issuer provides the merchant with an identifier other than the account number that is nevertheless unique to the individual. This identifier may be used to track the individual's purchase history or perform other business functions.
