DCS was developed to provide document composition services to over hundred of client’s internal
applications. The document composition engine was provided with an MQ interface for batch processing and a SOAP
interface for ad hoc requests. A MPG was used for protocol translation and dynamic routing between the two interfaces and different versions of the application.
DCS application after validating the input data, invokes HP composition engine to create documents of
various formats. DCS delivers the documents to various deliver channels like Xerox for printing/Fax, Mobius for e-
delivery and archival, EXP-AG for workflow, printing to a network printer.
