A system and method allows a legacy program to call a distributed service in the manner of the legacy program calling another legacy program. The call is translated and sent to the distributed system in a secure manner, with potential timeout issues potentially handled faster than would be handled by the distributed system, and the response is returned to the legacy program in the format that another legacy program would have used.

A system (150) and method are disclosed that provide for the transfer of at least one packet (194) comprising data between a user space (152) and a kernel space (154) associated with a server (156) that is positioned in a distributed network arrangement (192) with a plurality of clients (158, 160, 162, 164). A distribution program (168) associated with the user space (152) is operable to accumulate the at least one packet (194). An application program interface (174) associated with the user space (152) transfers the at least one packet (194) to the kernel space (154) with a number of software interrupts (204). A driver (176) associated with the kernel space (154) is operable to distribute the at least one packet (194) to a subset of the plurality of clients (158, 160, 162, 164) in response to receiving the number of software interrupts (204). The number of software interrupts (204) is less than one software interrupt per packet per client.

A system and method is provided for a distributed computing system where a user can login to a client computer and access a number of different applications installed on web servers. These applications are then provided access to data in mainframe systems without a user having to enter mainframe user id or password information for gaining access to the mainframe system. The system and method can utilize a sign on object which is installed onto the client computer. The sign on object operates to obtain and transmit a security token which authorizes access to the mainframe system, and the security token does not require the use of the cookie data. This system and method can pass the security token through the web server and the web application in an encrypted form which limits security risks.

A system and method allows an adviser/registered representative to act as an adviser to clients at a fee-only broker/custodian, and as a broker to the same clients at an independent broker-dealer. Non-commission-based trades are cleared and settled by the fee-only broker/custodian and commission-based trades are made by the independent broker-dealer using a clearing firm. The clearing firm settles the commissioned trades at the fee-only broker/custodian, where all the assets can be custodied.

A system and method provides security information by allowing the user to choose from among tools that will be displayed to the user, some of which may be displayed in a manner that replaces a display of a different tool when the user selects it. Some tools such as a series of small charts displayed on the user's computer screen will display information regarding multiple securities, while multiple other tools display information about a single security selected by the user, for example, by the user clicking on the small chart corresponding to that security.

A method and apparatus delays users from accessing a service via the world wide web in an orderly manner without maintaining a queue. When a user requests the service, if the service is busy, a web server does not allow access to the service: instead it configures the user's web browser via a script or applet to periodically retry requesting the service. A timestamp designating a time the user requested the service or other similar time is provided to the user and a count of timestamps issued in different periods are maintained by the web server. The web server periodically determines a cutoff timestamp corresponding to an available capacity of the apparatus using the count of timestamps it maintains. When the user retries requesting the service, the browser provides to the web server the timestamp it received from the server. If the timestamp provided is less than or equal to the cutoff timestamp, the user is allowed access to the service, otherwise, the users browser is instructed to retry at a specified interval.

A system and method are provided that allow for automated documentation of all advice interactions between broker representatives on one end and clients, or prospective clients, on the other. This is accomplished by providing a computer system for storing appropriate data for each advice interaction with a client. The advice interaction data can be used to assess compliance with existing regulations, as well as for analytical and training purposes.
摘要:
A method and system which provides for generating an integrated report. The method and system utilize information in a data storage system to provide individual account holders with an integrated report which includes detailed information regarding the financial account, and integrates financial planning recommendation information with the information regarding the financial account. Typically, the information regarding the financial account will be of sufficient detail so that a separate account statement need not be sent to the individual. The system and method herein provide individual account holders with a single report which provides the individual with financial account information, and financial planning advice, utilizing data available in a data storage system. Thus, the individual need not seek out advice, rather it is proactively delivered to the individual. Further, the method and system can provide for periodically generating the integrated report without requiring periodic input or action on the part of the account holder.
