20170201472 | REAL-TIME MESSAGE-BASED INFORMATION GENERATION - This disclosure relates generally to data processing, and more particularly, to methods and systems for real-time message-based information generation. In one embodiment, a system for real-time message-based information generation is provided. The system comprises one or more hardware processors, and a memory storing instructions executable by the one or more hardware processors that support multiple-thread processing for: receiving a plurality of input data files, each input data file comprising a plurality of records; extracting, from each input data file, the plurality of records on a record-by-record basis; transforming each extracted record from among the plurality of extracted records to comply with a messaging format; constructing a unique message for each transformed record according to the messaging format; and transferring, immediately upon construction, the message to a second system using an Application Programming Interface (API), wherein the message enables the second system to generate information based on a transformed record. | 2017-07-13 |
