This section describes the main batch processing of the PM
module, which performs a maintenance function. It also performs the following, during preparation of online input:
- Removes matured records from the files
- Creates new ‘start of day’ account value and position records
- Updates the Parameter tables
The user can update or create the following records:

PM.TRAN.ACTIVITY

(or the reverse) in the DC
, FR
, FT
, FX
, LD
, MM
, ND
, PD
, SC
, SW
, TT
modules.

- Creates updated ‘start of day’ Account Balance or Accrual Totals at a level determined by the
PM.AC.PARAM
. - Deletes the records that are related to all unauthorised and matured transactions.

using the generic interface, depending on the definition in PM.PARAMETER
and PM.APPL.SELECTION
, it:
- Recreates the
PM.TRAN.ACTIVITY
records with ID ‘Transaction ID*GAP’. - Deletes the
PM.TRAN.ACTIVITY

PM
updates for Arrangements happen using an activation service (PM.UPDATE). The list of arrangements to be processed are stored in the activation list file (PM.UPDATE.LIST
) and the file is updated during the unauthorized stage of the arrangement. On execution of the service, PM
module interacts with AA framework to build the necessary data to update PM files. It is a FIN type of service, hence, for each company separate service is invoked to process the arrangement from respective company. For example, BNK/PM.UPDATE. The user needs to ensure to turn off the PM.UPDATE during Close of Business (COB) to avoid multiple processing for a single arrangement, as this can improve system performance. It can be turned on after COB to reflect the COB updates of Arrangement to PM files.
