Title : EOD Processing and Adhoc Reporting

Organization :

Confidential, Chennai, India
Role :

Tester
Duration :

Oct 06 to Feb 07

Description :

The TIW (Trade Information Warehouse) have a concept of an end-of-day (EOD) that delineates positions ‘as of’ a certain day. Trades are continually received throughout the day from the confirmation service and other than the Full TRI reports, there is not a stored set of data that can be used for various reporting functions. Requests for Warehouse positions as of a certain day is increasingly becoming more important for service providers, regulators, clearers, and other interested parties for reconciliation and market risk exposure identification. In order to provide this snapshot of information for any given day, the information needs to be stored and referenced centrally to ensure requests for the last confirmed positions for a specific day x is fixed, accurate and consistent on all output mediums. This project outlines the data set and requisite Warehouse jobs that feed into an EOD snapshot for Warehouse. This project will focus on the automated regularly scheduled provision of the required data to the Data Reporting group to streamline the process of creating Ad Hoc reports.
