4 General Configurations

Some configurations must be done before screening customer or external entity data, such as configuring run profiles to control elements of the watch lists and how screening is performed, preparing private watch lists using the Private List Interface (PLI) and use them for screening, analyzing watch list data, configuring match rules and clusters, configuring real-time and batch screening, configuring risk scores in watch lists and scheduling the Customer Screening run job. You can also configure the delta watch lists for the Dow Jones watch list, enable the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and enable or disable the Data Quality (DQ) check.

The Watch List Management, Customer Screening, External Entity, and Real-time screening property files can be configured using run profiles in the FICDB/conf directory. You can use run profiles to specify the configuration settings that will override the default settings. The following run profiles are available in the <domain_name>/edq/oedq.local.home/ runprofiles/ directory when you log in to the WinSCP server:

  • watch list-management.properties
  • customer-screening.properties
  • external-entity-screening.properties
  • customer-screening-real-time.properties
The watch list-management.properties run profile controls the following attributes:
  • Which watch lists are downloaded
  • How filtering is applied to the watch lists
  • How to apply the Data Quality check to the watch lists

The customer-screening.properties and external-entity-screening.properties run profiles control the screening of customers and external entities respectively in batches.

The customer-screening-real-time.properties run profile controls the screening of customers in real-time.
