Independently enhanced Credit Card processing system (CCPMT) for Integrated Delivery System (IDS)
•
service. Coding included updating the CCPMT application to be more generic in a way that credit card
payments are reported on. Part of the process included creating reports in both STARVIEW and
OPTICAL format and sending it to mainframe systems for the banks to view them. The process also
involved scripting jobs to be automated for a every day process.
Developed online services for Entitlement services (ET), which is an open systems applications for
•
provisioning users in multiple systems. Part of the development included, creating request and response
XSDs for the services, using JAXB to bind the request and response, creating logical solution to run the
service and accessing LDAP database servers to create, store and update user information.
Created the first batch process for a customer for ET application, which was only an on-line service.
•
Defined a Vertical Stack batch file format to send in the user and role information, created a XML
request with the code, and accessed the service. The response retuned from the service was processed
using XPATH, converted back to a vertical stack format and sent back to the customer. Implemented the
restart logic for this process, when the input file stopped in between due to outage. Part of the process is
to create a shell script to get the file from the remote server, process the file inside the file system and
put the file back to the remote server.
Developed batch process for Enterprise Transaction Suspension Engine (ETSE), which is a means by
•
which ACH and non-core ACH clients can place transactions into suspension. Coded ETSE to hold
transactions from multiple sources like ACH, Bill Pay, etc. and release the transactions to their target
destinations upon the release dates and/or confirmations. Part of the development process involved
coming up with the BASE record definition, to be included in all the incoming files to ETSE extracted
from the transaction records. Created shell scripts to run the load, release and purge transaction process
for ETSE.
Worked independently on creating three online services for Enterprise OFAC (LX) solutions, which is a
•
Integration object between the User Interface and the DB. Coded to send the information from the XML
request sent by User Interface to the OFAC DB, execute the stored procedure, and send back the
information received from the stored procedure back as a XML response. Part of the project included
authenticating the user who is trying to access the LX service in RACF systems and checking for user
authorization in the Entitlement world. Designed the ET authorization piece as a separate common
functionality for Integration team.
Provided first and second tier support of on-call support for Enterprise Business Services. Executed
•
Disaster Recovery (DR) exercise since September 2007 for Entitlement Application.
