Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for leveraging legacy reports in a service-oriented architecture include receiving search conditions defining requested data and submitting a request to a reporting server for report results on data in a back-end database. The request defines search criteria, corresponding to the search conditions for identifying data in the back-end, in a format used by the reporting server. Report results are received from the reporting server in response to the request. The report results include data identified in the back-end as matching the search criteria. The reporting server interacts with the back-end and is implemented within an integrated business process architecture having multiple software modules executable on a virtual machine. The integrated business process architecture operates to update data across the software modules in real time, and the back-end includes relational databases for storing data.
