TRACKING OF DOCUMENT STATUS THROUGH MULTIPLE COMPUTER NETWORKS

Abstract:

In an example embodiment, a first function is performed on the first document received at first middleware management architecture, causing a change in the status of the first document. The change is logged in a record corresponding to the first document in a memory. Then the first document is sent to a second network via a transmission protocol layer. A notification of a change in the status of the first document within the second layer is received in a layer other than the transmission protocol layer, from the second network. The change in the second network is logged in the record corresponding to the first document in the memory. Information corresponding to the change in the status of the first document at the middleware management architecture and the change in the status of the first document in the second network is reported to the first network.
