In-Depth Information
• The oil auctioning marketplace exposes a Java
technology-based API using Java Message Service (TMS)
technology to allow companies to send messages placing oil
for
sale
and
to
bid
for
oil
with
characteristics,
such
as
guaranteed
messaging,
message
acknowledgment,
and
message security available.
• Zamco already runs a complex pricing system in-house that
calculates what the price for each placement of oil in the
auction marketplace should be (based on how it was
extracted, its distance and transportation method to its final
destination point). As the solution architect, you need to
integrate with this system using web services to price the oil
before making it available to the auction market place for
sale.
• The final remaining external system is Zamco' s inventory
management system that is also accessed using web services
and will allow you to see what unsold capacity remains
available for auction.
• Zamco has a relationship with Merchant Bank to handle the
transactions.
• The actual placement of orders for the auction management
system are handled manually Zamco employs a team of
traders who track the rise and fall of oil prices and use a
combination of timing and pricing information and other
systems outside the scope of this project to determine the best
time to buy or sell oil placements.
• System performance (99 percent of all messages to be
constructed and sent in three seconds or less to the IP address
