A system, method and carrier medium for configuring processing relationships among entities of a Financial Service Organization (FSO). The system, method and carrier medium may be used for processing and reporting FSO business data including transactional data. A business structure, which may include the processing relationship between various entities of the FSO, may be defined. A processing relationship configuration program may be used to create a processing relationship structure. A node may be created and uniquely defined to represent an FSO physical entity and/or an FSO function. Nodes structures may be defined to correspond to the processing relationship structure within an FSO. A node number may uniquely identify a node instance in the processing relationship structure. An FSO database table may be used to store the a processing relationship structure information. FSO transactions, such as executing a report, may be generated based on the defined processing relationship structure.

Configuring processing relationships among entities of an organization

A system and method for configuring key definitions, key values, and key value search masks for locating processing parameter values in a Financial Service Organization (FSO) computer system. The FSO computer system may include one or more processing parameters. A processing parameter may have one key definition, one or more key values with one processing parameter value assigned to each key value, and one or more key value search masks. The FSO computer system may include a database for storing the key definitions, key values and their associated parameter values, and key value search masks. Configuring the key definitions may include providing a user interface for the selection of one or more data elements to be used as key elements in the key definition. The user interface may also allow the specification of a sequence in which the key elements will appear in the key definition. Configuring a key value and the processing parameter value associated with the key value may include providing a user interface for entering key element values that are combined to form the key value, and for entering the processing parameter values associated with the key value. The user interface may allow the user to enter wildcard values for the key element values. Configuring key value search masks may include providing a user interface for entering values in the search mask fields. A search mask may include a search mask field for each key element in the key definition. The user interface may allow the user to enter wildcard values and equal values in the search mask fields.

Configuring keys for use in processing business data

A system, method and carrier medium for configuring processing relationships among entities of a Financial Service Organization (FSO). A system, method and carrier medium for configuring Financial Service Organization (FSO) application software. A method and system for the selective identification and execution of a specific processing task for one or more records contained in the one or more Financial Service Organization (FSO) data sets. A system and method for dynamic selection of a database identifier, associated with a database, based on application program requirements in a Financial Service Organization (FSO) business transaction processing system. A system and method for dynamic selection of a database identifier, associated with a database, based on application program requirements in a Financial Service Organization (FSO) business transaction processing system. A system, method and carrier medium for locating processing parameter values in a Financial Service Organization (FSO) computer system using pre-configured key definitions, key values, and key value search masks. A system and method for configuring key definitions, key values, and key value search masks for locating processing parameter values in a Financial Service Organization (FSO) computer system.

Business transaction processing systems and methods

A system and method for dynamic selection of a database identifier based on application program requirements in a Financial Service Organization (FSO) business transaction processing system. Developers may build application programs for FSO business transactions with increased flexibility to changing business requirements and reduced development time. Dynamic database packageset software may provide functionality to isolate the FSO application program source code from changes to the FSO database. A dynamic database packageset switching table may include user defined keys and their associated database identifier values. The dynamic database packageset switching software may provide functionality to build a key, in real-time with a pre-defined structure, based on application program parameter values, use the key to access the dynamic database packageset switching table to locate an associated database identifier and access an FSO database using the database identifier to retrieve requested FSO data.

Processing business transactions using dynamic database packageset switching

A system, method and carrier medium for locating processing parameter values in a Financial Service Organization (FSO) computer system using pre-configured key definitions, key values, and key value search masks. The key definitions, key values, processing parameter values and key value search masks may be identified by a user during a configuration of the FSO computer system. The FSO computer system may include one or more processing parameters. Each processing parameter may have one key definition, one or more key values with one processing parameter value assigned to each key value, and one or more key value search masks. The FSO computer system may include a database for storing the key definitions, key values and their associated processing parameter values, and key value search masks. The key definitions, key values and their associated parameter values, and key value search masks may be stored in tables in the database. The FSO computer system may be configured to construct processing key values from one or more data element values in the FSO computer system. A key definition may include one or more key elements. A key element may be used to locate a data element value in the FSO computer system, and to format the data element value into a key element value in the processing key value. A key value search mask may be used to specify the substitution of a wildcard value for a data element value in a key element value. The FSO computer system may be configured to search the database for a key value that matches the processing key value. A key value may include one or more key element values corresponding to the key elements in the key definition for the key value. One or more of the key element values may be set to a wildcard key element value. The FSO computer system may be configured to read the processing parameter value associated with the key value from the database in response to finding a matching key value for the processing key value. The FSO computer system may use the located processing parameter value in the processing of FSO transaction data.

Processing business data using user-configured keys

A system and method for dynamic selection of a database identifier, associated with a database, based on application program requirements in a Financial Service Organization (FSO) business transaction processing system. Developers may build application programs for FSO business transactions with increased flexibility to changing business requirements and reduced development time. The dynamic database packageset software, which may comprise of a dynamic database packageset table, may provide functionality to isolate the FSO application program source code from changes to the FSO database. The FSO computer system may include one or more processing parameters. A processing parameter may have one key definition, one or more key values with one processing parameter value assigned to each key value. The dynamic database packageset switching table may include user defined keys and their associated database identifier values. Configuring the dynamic packageset switching table may include defining user defined keys and their associated database identifier values. User defined key definitions may include providing a user interface for the selection of one or more data elements to be used as key elements in the key definition. The user interface may also allow the specification of a sequence in which the key elements will appear in the key definition.

Configuring dynamic database packageset switching for use in processing business transactions

Business data (including transactional data) may be gathered, stored, sorted, and/or collated into financial service organization (FSO) reports used by various entities of a FSO. A processing relationship configuration program may be used to create a processing relationship structure between various entities of the FSO. Processing relationship structure information may be stored on a database of an FSO. Nodes may be created and uniquely defined to represent FSO physical entities and/or FSO functions. A nodes structure may correspond to the processing relationship structure within an FSO. In some embodiments, an FSO application program, such as a report program, may be generated based on a defined processing relationship structure. The report records may be arranged in a particular sequence by one or more of the break key fields. Changes to the processing relationship structure may be automatically reflected in the reports generated by the report program.
