Client reporting system is an application that enables operations to generate several reports like client reports, tax vouchers and tax packs required by the institutional clients based on the HM Revenue and Custom standards.

Converg-e is the feeding application to CRS, which gets the data from trading applications.

Role:

 Responsible for client meeting, requirement gathering and creating functional document.

 Estimating the work effort required to complete the requirement

 Implemented the changed business functionality for the reconciliation process involving complex logic into the code and prepared oracle migration script for the sensitive data.

 Modularized existing XSLs to make them reusable. This was the exhaustive process as it involves the extraction of XML from Nucleus Data generated by StepZeroProcess (Report Processor). This XSL is fused with XML to using FOP or XEP based on client to create PDF to see the output results.

 Coded the purging module involving complex coding with MDB (Point to Point JMS queue) to delete the unapproved content from the repository from database and directories.

 Coded modules to make running the report pack efficient like performance tuning of the code and doing validation before the final submit step. Used Jprobe inside eclipse to check for memory usage.

 Participated in the proof of concept prepared to integrate the Pace System into CRS using.
