Hi ,
could you please help me to find out the truth about exchange facilities for building applications?
I am a web developer/programmer.I am investigating about using exchange and outlook to build messaging applications. my question is,is it possible to use exchange not only as a mail server? how can i use it's programming facilities,how can i work with records using exchange? i mean sending records in offline mode,inserting to tables,editing records,deleting records and... ;
let me explain my problem: i work for an insurance company which has some branches in other cities.i try to make a system between them in order to make them being updated whenever they are online. imagin there is a server which always have latest information.there is a client anywhere else that need to be updated by server,so there must be a data transfer system between them. but client is not online all the time.i need to continue data transfering when it is offline.
so my theory is if i put a messaging system between them , whenever data at server or client changed,they will post changed data to that middle system.it will be storded there in their inbox or outbox .whenever they are online, data transfering from inbox or outbox to them will be done.
in other words the data(records) can be sent to that middle system by emails,then records can be retrieved from emails,and sent to the client to be stord in appropriate tables.
i mean working with records with exchange in offline mode.
is it a good way to use exchange for that?
is there any implimented application based on exchange ? if so,what applications?
thank you in advance,
Regards,
Sima
