Integrating with the Office of Foreign Assets Control

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) administers and enforces economic sanctions programs primarily against countries and groups of individuals, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers. Siebel Insurance allows you to check claims payees against a blacklist of individuals and organizations provided by OFAC.

The blacklist is stored in the Siebel database and you must keep it up to date by importing data from an XML file, sdn.xml that you obtain from the OFAC site:

http://www.treasury.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn/sdn.xml.

You can schedule the FINS Claims OFAC Data Import Process workflow on a monthly basis to process the XML file and import the OFAC data.

The FINS Claims OFAC Data Import Process workflow has a process property for the Input File. You can set the default string of this process property to C:\TEMP\OFAC_SDN.xml, or whatever location you require.

TIP:   Run the workflow after work hours to update the Siebel data; this minimizes the performance impact.
