BDIL/HODS Technical Initiatives

Role : Application Architect

Mar 2014 - till date Ameriprise

Financials Minneapolis, MN, USA

BDIL is Brokerage Data Integration Layer which receives data from

different data sources and maintains the data. HODS is a data store

which maintains the brokerage data and serves data to clearing and other

business for their daily reporting and reconciliation activities. Both

BDIL and HODS data loads were not having restart feature that leads to

data synchronization and performance issue in case of any failure during

the batch run. Proposed few options to address this issue and worked

closely with application team to introduce the restart logic with

minimal performance impact.

Proposed Informatica Metadata Manager tool to create the lineage between

source and targets. This has been incorporated in test environment and

business impressed with the tool for ease of analysis process. These

lineages are extensively used by the application team for any code

analysis and downstream impact analysis.

details. It stores client and account information in different data

stores. Multiple clients use the same information in different layout.

To avoid redundancy the system required to identify the master data and

federate the data by keeping it in appropriate exposure layer.

Informatica Master Data Management principles were applied to identify

the master data from multiple data sources with different layout. Had

extensive data mapping & data profiling session with Data Architects,

Solution Architects and business partners to identify the master data.

Master data rules were defined in the Informatica mapping

transformations.
