Take a Look at Softshare ECS
Softshare WebECS
The Standard and Enterprise versions of Softshare ECS ship
with WebECS, a Web component that lets you manage
various aspects of ECS from your browser.

Management Console
ECS Enterprise supports clustering and failover capabilities. The Management Console utility provides a central view of all your nodes and allows you to designate processing pools for workload balancing. For all editions of ECS, Management Console is also used to configure input channels and output channels, event rules, and exception-handling parameters.

Input Channels
Input channels determine where, when, and how Softshare ECS retrieves data. You can configure
as many input channels as necessary for your business operations.
Each input channel type has its own unique set of property pages that you will use to set the
parameters for the retrieval and processing of data. These parameters, to name just a few, include
where and how often ECS retrieves data, whether duplicate data should be processed,
data authentication settings, and the actions that will be performed on arriving data.

Event-Driven Processing
Event rules determine how data is processed. Triggered in real time, event rules forward data to output channels, send e-mail messages, and run custom commands and scripts. If Softshare’s data translator, Softshare Delta, is installed,
event rules also pass data to Delta for translation and integration with your back-end systems.

Data Administrator
All data that passes through Softshare ECS is stored in the ECS data repository. You can view, copy, restage, or restore this data using the Data Administrator utility that ships with ECS. For each batch of received data, Data Administrator's upper pane displays up to nine data attributes including the batch's arrival date, retrieval method, sending/receiving trading partners, and, if Softshare Delta is run in conjunction with ECS, translation status. The lower pane displays the batch's associated deliveries, log entries, tracking details, and attachments.

Watchdog Alerts
Some errors require immediate attention. For example, the failure of
an important delivery could have a serious impact on your business
operations if it goes unnoticed. To ensure that critical errors are
brought to your attention in real time, you can configure Softshare
ECS to notify you when a particular event occurs. Called watchdog
alerts, these notifications can be sent as e-mails or display as pop-up
messages on designated computers.
