System and method for automated configuration and deployment of applications

Abstract

A system and method are described for automated configuration and deployment of applications. Each participant to a transaction maintains "connection parameters" which contain an indication of the various connection capabilities (protocols, file formats, document sequences, etc) of that participant. Prior to entering into a series of transactions (e.g., document exchanges), the connection parameters of two or more of the participants are compared to identify a common subset that are then exchanged between the participants until both participants agree on the connection parameters to use. The agreed upon connection parameters are stored within a "connection agreement" which is then used to automatically configure the applications (e.g., business collaboration applications) executed by each participant.
