XCOM - MFT - The primary purpose of this project is to convert all

Integration's Ab Initio jobs/graphs that invokes the XCOM component to the

new file transfer component that Enterprise had developed. In addition, a

generic mass file transfer routine will be introduced using a configuration

file. This routine will be called by all "XCOM" graphs in Integration's

inventory.

DCM (Data Center Migration) In order to provide robust computing

environments, reduce deployment & operating costs, improve DR and support

new technologies, Allstate will be adopting a 2 data center model. As part

of this all the existing servers ( Windows, Unix and DB) are migrated to

new Data center Environment that includes code changes for server, file

location.

Responsibilities:

. Identify all XCOM processes/graphs that are owned and maintained by AFT

Integration. Gather all the configuration profile and place them a single

repository.

. Introduce Oracle tables that hold the configuration and access profiles.

. Preparation of Design, Code inspection, UTP documents.

. Convert the existing AFT XCOM graphs to call the AFT Common/Generic Bulk

Transfer graph.

. Remediate ab initio code to meet GPP, ISG changes to the data directory

and the landing zone changes. Also internal standards like referencing

all dbc files for the ab initio processes to AFT COMMON DB and removing

the Unicenter command lines in the allstate scripts.

. Testing and documentation of test results.

. Implementation in QA and production.
