1 About This Guide

This guide explains the concepts behind the Oracle Financial Services Behavior Detection (OFSBD), and provides comprehensive instructions for proper system administration, as well as daily operations and maintenance.

Audience

This Administration Guide is designed for use by the Installers and System Administrators. Their roles and responsibilities, as they operate within OFSBD, include the following:
  • Installer: Installs and configures OFSBD at a specific deployment site. The Installer also installs and upgrades any additional Oracle Financial Services solution sets and requires access to deployment-specific configuration information, such as machine names and port numbers).
  • System Administrator: Configures, maintains, and adjusts the system, and is usually an employee of a specific Oracle customer. The System Administrator maintains user accounts and roles, monitors data management and Alert Viewer, archives data, loads data feeds, and performs post-processing tasks. In addition, the System Administrator can reload cache.

Note:

Administrators who have access to any of the Financial Crime and Compliance Management (FCCM) modules such as Anti-Money Laundering, Fraud, and so on, will get unrestricted access to the administration utilities that are required to administer the module.

Administrators must have knowledge of UNIX and LINUX.

Scope of this Guide

This guide describes the physical and logical architecture of the OFSBD. It also provides instructions for installing and configuring OFSBD, its subsystem components, and any third-party software required for operation.

OFSBD is powered by advanced data mining algorithms and sophisticated pattern recognition technologies. It provides an open and scalable infrastructure that supports rich, end-to-end functionality across all Oracle Financial Services solution sets. OFSBD’s extensible, modular architecture enables a customer to deploy new solution sets readily as the need arises.

This guide provides information about how to administer the following products:
  • Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
  • Fraud
Your implementation may not include all of these products.
