Unwiring Everything
The Unwired Example *(next slide) Note that all data sources are LAN based.
Is this for real? In our experience this is rarely a real world example.
Lets get a little familiar with our example.
We’ll skip most details.

Insurance Sample Overview
The Insurance Sample contains 8 major demonstration steps1. Add Customer – An insurance agent creates a new customer by entering
information via web browser.2. Add Policy – An insurance agent creates one or more auto insurance policies
for a customer by entering pertinent information via web browser.3. Create Claim – Customer calls insurance company from the accident site.
Customer provides their customer id and vehicle (policy) information. The insurance agent creates a new claim by entering the information via web browser.
4. Add Claim Details – Insurance adjuster sync their Pocket PC to pick-up new claims, data needed for repair estimates and an updated list of recommended repair shops. Then the adjuster goes to the accident site and enters detailed information for the claim and the customer’s selected repair shop.
5. Look-up Repair Estimates - While the insurance adjuster is at the accident site, they can use their Pocket PC to look-up estimated costs for various damages.
13
Insurance Sample Overview (Continued)
The Insurance Sample last 3 steps1. Select Repair Shop – While the insurance adjuster is at the accident site, they
can provide a list of recommended local repair shops for the customer to choose from.
2. View Claims – The insurance agent can view a list of claims and select an individual claim to view its details. This can be done at anytime, before and/or after the claim details have been entered by the adjuster.
3. View Business Metrics - The insurance company manager can view metrics of the insurance company’s business related to claim and cost amounts.

Add Claims Detail (Pocket PC) details
With the iAnywhere Adjuster C++ application the user can add detailed information to the claim. The following operations can be performed:
While the PocketPC is connected to the network (in its cradle), use the Sync button on the Adjuster App to initiate the Mobilink client, which connects to the Mobilink server for the Insurance_West ASA database and performs the synchronization. New claims will then show up on the Adjuster App.
Add line items to the claim, ie. fender, tail light, bumper. Cost estimates for damaged parts can be looked-up using the Pocket PowerBuilder Repairs Application. A running sum of total damages is calculated by the Adjuster App.
Add images of the accident site. Images can be marked-up to highlight damages and a description can be added to each image.
Submit the claim for processing. This changes the status of the claim which removes it from the Adjuster App view.
After the re-connecting the PocketPC to the network, use the sync button to, again, initiate the Mobilink client. It connects to the Mobilink server for the Insurance_West ASA database and performs the synchronization. All new claim details are uploaded to the Insurance_West database.
The following tables are involved in the synchronization process:claim, claim_items, claim_status, claim_images, marked_up,
bitmaps, doodles, strokes, points
22
Add Claims Detail (Pocket PC) details (cont.)
A database trigger is configured on the claim.claim_status column. When this column is updated the trigger will call the xp_cmdshell stored procedure to initiate the Mobilink client, which connects to the Mobilink server for the Insurance_HQ ASA database and performs the synchronization. All new claim information is uploaded to the Insurance_HQ database and ensuring that HQ, Regional and PocketPC databases are all in sync. The same tables as above are involved in the synchronization process.
23
Add Claims Detail (IO) details
Updating data in the Headquarters Insurance database fires a trigger which executes the xp_cmdshell stored procedure. This in turn will run a stand-alone java application which retrieves updated claim_id, formats data into XML schema and sends a JMS text message to the queue named “claim”.
IO Business Process (3) retrieves the message (claim_id) from “claim” queue and queries the Headquarters Insurance database to get the following data and sends it to a BizTracker probe for subsequent BizTracker processing:
claim_id, claim_short_descr, claim_date, repair_shop_id, repair_shop_name, policy_id, holder_id, holder_fname, holder_lname, holder_gender, holder_dob, holder_city, holder_state, total_amount(*), disp_claim_id, disp_policy_id
* IO will calculate the total amount for this claim by adding claim_item_value field’s (claim_items table) for this claim_id.
IO Business Process (3) queries the RepairShop database to check if the there is an AMS channel set for the repair shop select, if so then it will send an email with the above data to the queue designated for AMS (amsmail) and AMS will pick up the message and send an email to the repairshop containing claim data. If there is no AMS channel set for the repairshop but the repairshop id exists in the RepairShop database, then claim data will be sent to an ‘authorization’ queue.

Lookup Repair Estimates (Pocket PC) details
While the PocketPC is connected to the network (in the cradle), use the Pocket PowerBuilder Repair App Sync button to initiate the Mobilink Client. It connects to the Mobilink Server for the Estimates database and synchronizes vehicle parts cost data pertinent to all new claims. (Note: The sync button initiates Mobilink clients for both the Estimates and RepairShop database. This operation only needs to be performed once for both databases to sync.)
Select the claim you are working on in the iAnywhere Adjuster application. This sets a global variable in the Repair app.
Use the menu or button to select Get Estimates. The claim number is used to retrieve the vehicle type from the CeAdjuster ASA database. Then a datawindow is used to retrieve and display part cost information for that vehicle.
Then the part cost can be entered into the Adjuster C++ application for further processing.

Select Repair shop (Pocket PC) details
While the PocketPC is connected to the network (in the cradle), use the Pocket PowerBuilder Repair App Sync button to initiate the Mobilink Client. It connects to the Mobilink Server for the RepairShop database and synchronizes all recommended auto repair shops. (Note: The sync button initiates Mobilink clients for both the Estimates and RepairShop database. This operation only needs to be performed once for both databases to sync.)
Select the claim you are working on in the iAnywhere Adjuster application. This sets a global variable in the Repair app.
Use the menu or button to select Repair Shops. A datawindow prompts for the city, then retrieves and displays recommended repair shops in that location.
Selecting a repair shop enters the repair_shop_id into the claim table of the CeAdjuster ASA database.

But what if…
the HQ database is zOS DB2 or… the West coast uses VSAM or… the Central data is IMS or… the Legacy data from the East coast is a home grown
database?
