Adaptive Transaction Message Display Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing integration engines lack flexibility in displaying transaction message data, requiring manual copying and pasting between Hex and non-Hex representations, and often necessitate command line intervention for troubleshooting, limiting user options and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to adaptively display transaction message data in Hex, binary, or character representations, allowing users to toggle between formats and save data without Hex or Binary representations, reducing the need for manual data manipulation and command line interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If both Hex and non-Hex representations are included in the same trace data file, then complete debugging information is provided, but manual copying and pasting is required to produce desired output
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the trace data display into separate selectable views - Hex representation and non-Hex representation - allowing users to view only the relevant format for their current debugging task, eliminating the need to manually copy and paste between formats while maintaining both representations available in the data
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides dynamic switching between different display representations of the same trace data through a graphical interface, allowing users to toggle between Hex and non-Hex views without regenerating or manually manipulating the data, making the display adaptable to user needs
2Extent of automation
If command line intervention is required to debug program or trace execution steps, then precise control is achieved, but user efficiency and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the mechanical command line interaction model with a graphical user interface that provides the same debugging control capabilities through visual elements and mouse-driven operations, eliminating the need for users to type commands while maintaining precise control over trace execution and display
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows users to directly interact with and control trace data display through intuitive graphical interface elements that respond to user actions without requiring users to learn or type specialized command syntax, making the system more accessible and efficient
3Device complexity
If only one view of traced message data is provided, then system simplicity is maintained, but flexibility and adaptability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal trace data display framework that can present the same underlying trace data in multiple representations (Hex and non-Hex) through a single graphical interface, allowing one system to serve multiple debugging needs without increasing fundamental system complexity
Data Source
AI summary
A system provides an integration engine debugging and trace function that adaptively captures and displays trace information and promotes easier and more efficient troubleshooting. A system adaptively displays transaction message data for use with a data exchange system for exchanging data between different computer systems using different data formats. The system includes a repository of data comprising transaction messages communicated between different computer systems using different data formats. A data converter converts transaction message data into Hex and non-Hex representations. A display processor provides data representing a first display image including data representing a single transaction message in both Hex and non-Hex data format and enabling a user to initiate generation of a second display image for presenting the transaction message exclusively in a non-Hex representation.
