About Datamaps

The datamap component is responsible for taking data from one or more source files or staging tables, transforming and enhancing it, and then loading it into a target database table.

The following types of datamaps are available:

• DIS datamaps: DIS datamaps are used to ingest client provided data, either through DIS files as specified in the DIS or through tables in the FSDF.
• Derived datamaps: Derived datamaps are used to transform the client provided data and populate other tables for use by scenarios and/or UI functionality.

Datamaps can perform the following activities:

• Update summaries of transaction activity
• Assign transaction and entity risk through watch list processing
• Update various Balances and Positions derived attributes
• Update data related to Trade Finance attributes

For a complete list of the datamaps used in OFSAAI and a brief explanation of the each datamap, see Appendix F, TBAML Datamap Details.

Datamap Categories

Each datamap can include one or more of the following categories:

• Optional
• Pre-watch List
• Watch List
• Post-watch List
• Summary
• Balances And Positions

Note:

The Datamap categories may or may not be required for all solutions.
