IBM TX Series D-CICS for Multi-platforms is architecture of integrated software components, which can be used to create a CICS environment, an Encina Monitor environment, or both. Business solutions can be created with either system, and the different systems can communicate and cooperate with one another. CICS is a family of products that provides online transaction processing and transaction management for applications on both IBM and non-IBM platforms. CICS builds on the services of the operating system, the Open Group’s Distributed Computing Environment (DCE), and Encina. CICS offers many services for application development, communications, recovery, presentation, data management, security, and intercommunication. IBM Redbook- DB2 II Patterns Information Integration and Aggregation: Documents the role of DB2 Information Integrator technologies and architecture in IBM's patterns for e-business using a prototype application with a step-by-step approach.

is the generation of intellectual material for updating the IBM patterns website on information aggregation and application integration. Identifying "reusable assets" for application patterns and runtime patterns for Federation, ETL and Replication Identifying the business problem in terms that can be translated into the various patterns. Created a template for defining a business problem, which includes systems management requirements of scalability, availability and security as well as business issues of time to market, and cost/benefits since this affects the runtime patterns. Coming up with real-world business problems that showcase DB2 II (federation, ETL and replication) using patterns without seeming trivial -- both from a configuration point of view as well as functionality E-Tracks is a common tool developed for a E-bit, MQ, & TX support projects for day to day monitoring and handling of customer PMRs and defects, generating reports. e-TRACKS has proved itself to be helpful in organizing the work & saves considerable amount of time right from developer, Team Lead, to the manager in the project. The tool was initially developed with the following outlook- minimize the time spent by developers to manage their PMRs/defects, Provide an interface to leads/managers in support projects to effectively manage the PMRs handled by the team, Automatic generation of reports and various other statistics like inflow,

workload, closures, backlogs etc, allows PMs to plan the workflow and distribution of work in the team, can be used to generate earned value charts for platforms thereby helping us track the customer satisfaction index using the timelines depending on severity's of the PMRs, generates field defect analysis for project managers which will help them in their monthly interlocks with the test teams to improve the test suites/buckets, generates productivity matrix for all the team members., generates the average inflow, outflow, backlog on a weekly basis for status reports and communications to partner labs VysyAmulya - IST Switch provides an interface between the ATM and the back end hosts ISBS and the profile. The switch routes to the appropriate host interface ISBS, SPNS, PROFILE The Host Interface is written in C++ and the back end here is Oracle. X.25 is used for SPNS and TCP/IP is used for both ISBS and PROFILE. All the transactions will be logged on to the debug. Message normalize translate incoming messages into a standard internal format that DCS can understand before passing them to DCS for processing. DCS sends outward-bound messages to the message normalize for translation into a standard external format, such as ISO 8583, that networks and participating financial institutions can understand. The authorization server module of IST/switch controls the positive and negative authorizations of financial transaction requests from ATM. Positive transactions are done when the IST server is down allowing the transactions to be done offline by stand by database and later synchronized with the IST server. VysyaAmulya - Batch interface is basically a GUI application at the client side providing the End user to navigate among five button options namely Send File, Receive File, View Status Reports, View Transaction Posting, Connect and Disconnect and Exit. MS Access is used as a back end to store the file status information whenever there will be a file transfer, which is used to generate a status report on the files. There are automated interfaces running between Intermediate WinNT server and RS6000 server to check for the existence of files upload and down the flat files and the status reports.

Technologies: C, C++, JAVA, DCE, SFS, WAS, WPS, CIIS, DB2, Oracle, HP-UX, Products/Projects @ VJIL:  Kane Security Analyst - The Analyst collects information on a server basis and it shows the number of security settings audited for each server and user. The important features of ANW are Set Security Standard, Run Security Audit, Survey Risk Analysis, Review Compliance History and Report Manager. Security Standard to review the default security standard based on specific requirements. Run Security Audit perform a security audit or to redevelop a snapshot from a previous audit. Risk Analysis will display the test results broken down into six security categories of Account Restrictions, Password Strength, Access Control, System Monitoring, Data Confidentiality, and Data Integrity. Review Compliance History will display a breakdown of all the scores from previous assessments, enabling comparison among domains, servers, and workstations, and between different assessments of the same environments. Report Manager will generate detailed, professional reports that can be displayed on screen. Login Violations Lists any logon violations recorded within the System Error Log. NDS Access map will display the Object Access Information.  Analytics Builder is used to analyze the sales for the E&T division. The Data Warehouse is built in SQL Server, segregating Oracle, MS Access, SQL Server data. Data Transformation Services are used to scrub, validate and transform the data into a warehouse. OLAP manager’s Cube is used to specify the dimensions on which the sales analysis can be done. Dimension and fact tables are used for thorough drilling down of data to the lowest levels possible. English Query and pivot table services are used to retrieve the results faster.



Shares Transfer System - Day-to-Day Shares allotment and shares transfer are done in this project. Each Shareholder will Be uniquely identified by a folio number and provision is given for shares transposition and transfer. Certificates are automatically generated after seeking a folio numbers. Shares are partially or wholly can be transferred to existing or new buyers. Top5 buyers and category wise folio status report are generated. SQL Server is used as back end for VC++. ODBC is used as a Database Access Technology. Declarative integrity and Procedural integrity along with strict data security Using views and triggers are enforced at the back end level.
