MINT Messages Long Term Archive/Search/Investigate
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…
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
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
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)
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
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
Please take short tour:
Archive contain msgs from 1999 to 2004
Indexes fields for msgs
selection, taken from msg header
Indexes fields, taken from msg
text
Search for Incoming &
Outgoing msgs 10x
Find 256 msgs withold MT100 and new MT103+ formats
from 2000 and 2004
Search for: All FIN MT‘s with MT that contain
*5* from ClearStream Bank Find list of 159 msgs
In Sender and Receiver fields,
search by BIC/BC#/BP-IDor bank name
Search narrowed to 3 msgs
Now, add ISIN number currency & amount
range
Amount can be entered in any valid format.Specific value enter only in first field
User name & Date/Time will be printed on every page
Special background is added
(configure-able)
Click on: VIEWor double-click on a line in the list
Msg will be presented in PDF formatReady for print
Msgs are kept and presentedas Printed/Microfiched by MINT
On Page 2 of the msg...

Every time a user views a msg it will be
saved in the database
Save your search criteriain special configuration file with all fields and screen set-up, for future usage
And when it is needed again, load your saved search criteria and get
instant results
