Abstract

A method for facilitating transactions by tenants in a multi-tenant architecture system is discussed. The method includes generating, with a multi-tenant computer system, a first representation of an entity in a first hierarchical data structure associated with an entity interface tenant of the multi-tenant computer system. The method includes receiving, with the multi-tenant computer system, a set of entity-specific policies useable to generate requests to individual ones of a plurality of transaction processing computer systems. The method includes generating, with the multi-tenant computer system, a second representation of the entity in a second hierarchical data structure associated with a particular transaction processing service tenant of a plurality of transaction processing service tenants of the multi-tenant computer system. The method includes linking, with the multi-tenant computer system, the first representation and the second representation in a unified hierarchical data structure useable to provide a unified identity for the entity for requests.
