This benefit with lees time of write down and less mistakes in the Code capture.
- The Policy for a company can have different groups and branches, and this information is also needed to have it in AS400 environment. It was necessary to read, from an existing Form already loaded in the system, by developing a Java Class to read every branch information and update the Case folder and the corresponding Form data. To access this CASE elements it is necessary to use EJB for handle sessions. Once the data was load it is necessary to send the information by XML web service to AS400 environment.
