1.5 Maintain End of Cycle Operations

This topic explains systematic instructions to maintain End of Cycle operations.

Note:

The fields which are marked in asterisk are mandatory.
  1. On Home screen, type AEDSTART in the text box, and click Next.
    The End of Cycle Operations screen displays.

    Description of Figure 1-6 follows
    Description of "Figure 1-6 End of Cycle Operations"

  2. On the End of Cycle Operations screen, specify the fields.

    For more information on fields, refer to the field description table.

    Table 1-6 End of Cycle Operations - Field Description

    Field Description
    EOC Reference The system generates a unique EOC reference number.
    Target Stage
    As part of EOC operations, the system will process each selected branch from its current stage to the target stage. Select the target stage for all the branches from the adjoining drop-down list. This list displays the following stages:
    1. Mark End of Transaction Input
      • Post End of Transaction Input 1
      • Post End of Transaction Input 2
      • Post End of Transaction Input 3
    2. Mark End of Financial Input
      • Post End of Financial Input 1
      • Post End of Financial Input 2
      • Post End of Financial Input 3
    3. Mark End of Day
      • Post End of End of Day 1
      • Post End of End of Day 2
      • Post End of End of Day 3
    4. Mark Beginning of Day
      • Post End of Beginning of Day 1
      • Post End of Beginning of Day 2
      • Post End of Beginning of Day 3
    5. Mark Transaction Input
    6. Mark End of Previous Day
      • Post End of Previous Day 1
      • Post End of Previous Day 2
      • Post End of Previous Day 3
    Select the appropriate target stage. The system defaults this as the target stage for all branches. However, modify the same for each branch, if required. At the End of Cycle operation, if the EOC group code with End of Previous Day is selected, then the system validates the following after clicking Submit:
    • For the current stage or target stage fields, if stages other than Mark End of Previous Day or Post End of Previous Day 1, Post End of Previous Day 2, and Post End of Previous Day 3 are selected, then the system displays an error message.
    • For any branches in the group, if the EOD process is not completed till TI the system displays an appropriate error message.

    The EOC Group for EOPD starts after EOD Cycle. EOPD group continues to run the Mark End of Previous Day and Post End of Previous Day stages. This EOPD group can be optional. The system supports if it is preferred to run a normal group. The normal group runs from Mark End of Transaction Input to Post End of Previous Day 3.

    Run Branches
    This field indicates the mode in which the EOC operation should take place. The system allows selecting any one of the following run modes:
    • Serial - The system processes EOC in a serial mode taking branch after branch. In this mode, even if the process fails for a particular branch, the system moves on to the next branch and proceeds.
    • Parallel - The system processes EOC stage wise, for all selected branches. At any stage, if it fails, the system will not be able to run it for any of the remaining branches.

    For example, consider an EOC operation for two branches, Branch A and B from the stage Set Time Level to 9 to the stage End of Financial Input. The system initially processes both branches to the stage End of Transaction Input at once. It goes on till the final stage. However, in the meantime, if any branch fails to process, the system stops the EOC operations for both branches together.
    EOC Type
    Select a valid EOC operation type from the adjoining drop-down list:
    • Multi-Thread - If this option is selected, the system runs EOD based on the scheduler framework. Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking prepares EOD run charts for the selected branches and submits synchronous requests to the database to run the EOD. The scheduler framework then picks up these branches and runs EOD. Hence Multi-Thread is also referred to as the scheduler type. A Scheduler Framework is available to process the EOD batch.
    • Branch Scheduler - It polls branches submitted for EOD in scheduler mode and triggers the EOD process. Before triggering the EOD process for a particular branch, the scheduler validates its feasibility for processing EOD. If EOD running mode is maintained as Parallel, then it checks for the movement of the branch to the next stage because all the branches are synchronously moved across stages. The scheduler also keeps track of the number of sessions for the current EOC.
    • Single-Thread - If this option is selected, the system runs the entire EOD process in a single session, for all branches. After submitting EOD, Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking submits an asynchronous request to the database to run EOD.
    Maximum Threads Specify the maximum number of sessions needs to maintain if Multi-Thread is selected as EOC Type.
    Group Code Specify the Group Code.
    Group Description The system displays the description of the selected group.
    Sequence Type a sequence number.
    Branch Code Click Search and specify the code of the branch from the list of values.
    Branch Description The system displays the description of the selected branch. This field can be modified.
    Branch Date The system displays the Branch Date. This field can be modified.
    Current Stage The system displays the Current Stage. This field can be modified.
    Target Stage The system displays the Target Stage. This field can be modified.
  3. Click Exit to end the transaction.
