Project: Portfolio Compliance System (PCS) Dec'05 - May' 09
Client: Confidential, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Area: Finance
Programmer Analyst

About CGC: Confidential, which is established in 78 years ago, is one of the world largest global investment management firms. It has deferent lines of finance business handled by group of companies like American funds, CRMC, GIG, etc... It has been top ranked among the “100 Best Places to Work in IT 2008” by ComputerWorld magazine.

Project Detail: Confidential is the portfolio compliance system for both fixed income and equity accounts, which comes under the IT division in Confidential line of business. The system is broadly divided into 3 sub systems i.e. Batch processing, trading interface (TROPIC), and tools & report generators.

The Batch processing system is an AutoSys job driven environment with combination of UNIX scripts, C/C++ programs, Sybase/Oracle stored procures, PowerCenter workflows, compliance engines, etc… All the in-house and third-party applications are hosted on set of UNIX servers. The system has been setup to bring the business related data (Securities, Positions, Account, PIX, etc…) from upstream systems, process it, and then feed/load into the PCS databases in intraday, daily, and weekly basis. And then runs batch compliance process in every night.

The TROPIC (Trade Order Processor for Intra-day Compliance) is a C++ application designed to communicate between the trading front-end applications called Stealth/PRISM and Charles River Compliance Engine (CRD IMS engine). This interface allows the Portfolio managers and Control group to trade, manage and monitor pre-trade & post-trade compliance for accounts. The Stealth/PRISM systems provide TROPIC with order and trade data using FIX protocol, which will be used by the CRD engine for compliance checking. The TROPIC will process each request and forward to the CRD engine, finally returns the results from CRD to the Stealth/PRISM, which allows the users to view all underlying compliance data. The data provided in both directions are sent via the TIBCO-Rendezvous messaging system.

The GenJil (Generate JILs) tool is an algorithmic program developed in C++, to dump the required AutoSys jobs (JILs) from the server and arrange them into hierarchy by identifying root level jobs to corresponding branch and leaf level jobs, then filter out the unwanted jobs and replace the jobs' attributes based on specified search/replacement patterns. A 4GL has been developed to implement its own regular expression syntax, pattern matching/replacement algorithms, pattern grouping, and flow control futures. Users use the 4GL to write a config file(s) which must be passed as an input to the genjil. The tool parses/tokenize the instructions into internal data structures which are being used in the pattern match/replacement activities. The tool has been designed to provide built-in tracing and testing facilities.

Environment: HP-UX 11i, Sun-Solaris 10, C++, STL, TIBCO-RV, IPC (shared memory, semaphores), signal handling, Data structure , Algorithms, Perl, korn-shell script, sed, XML, Oracle 10g & PL/SQL, Sybase & T-SQL, StoredProcedures, CRD-IMS, RogueWave SourcePro-DB, SQR-reports, AutoSys-jobs, NDM, FIX.
