Audit Maps project was to enhance the reconciliation process for data transfer from Mainframe system to Distributed Server. This involved in changing multiple programs to have the control file generated with critical information about the input file records. This control file along with the actual data will help in reconciliation of transferred data to Distributed server from Mainframe system.

BETA MIGRATION Aug 2009- Mar 2011

This project was to design web application and login for online access of reports (newly migrated to mainframe repository XPTR from a company that was merged with Ameriprise). As part of Report delivery work stream, the report on tapes was moved to designated locations on Mainframe repository through LPR-LPD process. The recon process involved development of reconciliation batch script(VB Script) which was scheduled daily for tracking any discrepancy in the transfer of reports from Beta system. In case of any discrepancy the script should raise an alert to Business and production support.
