This paper uses the example of communication between a central data center and multiple branch offices to describe how the Host-Initiated Processing (HIP) feature of Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 enables such communication. It assumes that the external (branch office) sources of data are likely to be based on Windows-based computing solutions, while the central data center likely relies on legacy data storage systems. HIP makes it possible to bring data from external sources into the legacy batch processing flow without disrupting pre-defined automated processing schedules.
