Delivering Orders

 
     

While the XSite Order Manager is a great tool for managing and delivering XSite Network orders, it also enables you to communicate with third party systems and other file formats.  This is accomplished through the Source Plugins and Destination Plugins.

Plugins are actually programs themselves and can do anything.  They are special in that they know they are either handing off or receiving TOTAL XML data through the main XSite Order Manager engine which connects them together.  In other words, plugins are special programs that “talk” using the language of TOTAL XML.

Since all plugins are separate modules, we can easily upgrade and expand our connections.  Functionality increases exponentially as one source plugin can feed multiple destination plugins and plugins created by one vendor or software developer can be used in conjunction with plugins from another provider.  To illustrate, note the WinTOTAL Report source feeds both the AI Ready and Value IT destinations.  But, these same destinations can also be fed by any of our report converters, too.

The XSite Order Manager has connections to other delivery systems like Rels and Ameriquest (via the RealEC plugin).  There are also several conversions handled through plugins.  While we’ve tried to make these as easy as possible to use, you can reference plugin-specific help through the Delivering Orders section of this user’s guide.
