After setting up the production environment, BHIT started up four main data flow interfaces of webMethods: regular task scheduling, common web service, queue broadcasting, and asynchronous interfaces. This provided increased insight and control. For example, log and database files from webMethods allowed BHIT to quickly answer key questions, such as which system produces a message, when the message was sent, what type of data the message transfers, and whether the message was successfully sent.
