2. Current Situation
Messages are kept in MINT Archive database for a short period of time (months), no long term Archive solution
Old Microfiche files cannot be imported back to the application for search or printing
Microfiche files are stored without any order on server directory, no tool for search/find specific msg
Files can be deleted or lost. Data within the files can be changed!
The existing Search criteria's (Live/Archive database) are weak, very limited, most fields none indexable, search execute in sequence order
Normally, at the end of the process, you cannot find your msg on the database and get frustrated
No integration with bank legacy applications
Therefore
3. MINT Long Term Archive Tool
Long term storage system for unlimited period (i.e. 10 years archive, as per banks regulations)
Parsing messages with extraction of message structure (in Print/Microfiche format)
Keep only relevant payments/business messages (i.e. filter out system messages gpa, o6ox, 08x, n1x)
Save messages and their fields extracted can be defined per customer specifications in a standard SQL database
Queries can be made using available GUI or via program (SQL commands)
High Security Aspects:
Hard copy of the message is stored in database in compress mode
No access for users to modify data
Archive messages can be encrypted/Digital-Signature to ensure higher-level integrity and confidentiality
Every access to view a message is kept in system log
4. MLTA, more features
Presents messages in PDF format: with user-name/date/time stamp & special page banner/background (i.e. MINT Archive)
Backwards compatibility: can handle old formatted msgs (i.e. SWIFT 52x, 100)
Enhanced & extensive query capabilities:
every field tag (SWIFT, SIC/ESIC/SECOM, any other msg format, transformation in/out)
all amounts, different formats, repetition amounts fields
ISIN & IBAN data is kept as separate index field
Can completely replace the current end users searching for msgs in MINT: make it fully on-line messages update (via MQS, MOA, etc.)
GUI screen prompts in 4 languages (user may select his preferred language on login)
User can Save/Load their special search criteria
Sort your selection results, on the fly
5. MLTA, Technologies
Software entirely based on Java 2 technology
Will run wherever a standard JVM is available: Linux, MS Server, Unix, MF, etc.
Any SQL compliant RDBM can be used for storage: DB2 Oracle, Sybase, MS SQL Server
Open architecture allows integration with legacy systems
High performance on large sets
Client GUI Java application on each PC or centrally (i.e. Citrix Server)
Browser client can be supported (user order depended)
6. MLTA, Integration and Scalability
The software is developed entirely in-house, only RDBM (and PDF) licenses are needed
Time-proved, short period installation
Can be scaled up from PC-Based architecture installation to high-end mainframe/storage system
Can be installed as is or further extended to implement customer features (i.e. add index as search field on any message fields)
New msg format is based on tables driven modifications
Ready for integration with legacy systems
7. MLTA, Basic Implementation
Implementation options, full automation:
Update the database once a day (EOD process)
Generate Microfiche files x times per day
Full on-line messages storage (via MQS, MOA), when reached to final stage send msg in Print Format directly to the database
Filtering un-needed msgs on Flow/Distribution, or during the Parsing to database
3 days implementation per instant (as is, without customization) & GUI training/usage
Self Maintenance & Enhancements (knowledge: Java 2, SQL, RBDM Admin) or by consulting company, based on T & M
