COBOL/XML Converter

Virtel Web Integration was deployed at CORTAL, a BNP PARIBAS subsidiary, to send large COBOL data files in batch and in XML format to the central bank of France.

A COBOL batch application needed to send large files containing CORTAL customer data to the central bank of France via Virtel in compliance with a procedure defined by the central bank.

A Virtel scenario converts the CORTAL customer data from COBOL to XML and sends it to the central bank via a X25 connection.

The central bank sends back a transfer receipt with the status code, error messages, and statistics of the transfer in XML format via the X25 connection.

A Virtel scenario converts the transfer receipt from XML to COBOL and returns it to the COBOL batch application.
