• Mercury

Client: Confidential, Bedford, MA
Role: Architect/Senior Developer.

SunGard Brokerage Systems provides system support and solutions to leading Brokerage companies across the USA and the world. Mercury is a package that they recently developed for the support of the flow of financial data and connectivity across different platforms. Mercury uses Mint Comservs for Data transformations and validations and resides at the middle.
I was responsible for leading a team of people responsible for building the TUXEDO services. These services use QandFML32 API's from TUXEDO. I was also responsible for other services that involved writing in Pro*C to update the Oracle Database. Mercury resided on Sun OS but data had to flow from Tandem and this required Inter Domain configuration. I was not only involved in the architecture of the Mercury Engine but actually designed and wrote the services required, writing the UBBCONFIGfiles and header files for the FML. I was also involved in the installation of all the software/hardware TUXEDO, MINT etc.
This required a lot of interaction with the users and understanding their requirements and implementing these in the Mercury.

Message Broker Integration, POC
Client: Confidential, Palo Alto, CA

Role: Senior Consultant
Confidential, Software is a leading middleware solutions provider based on Publish and Subscriber concept with Rendezvous being their core product. Message broker is one of the middleware products, which helps in the transformation of data .With the current exploding demands for the Publish and Subscriber concept, TIBCO went for forming a proof of Concept group, which was responsible for analyzing the different business scenarios including ARIBA and develop adapters for the same. I was part of the adapter development team. We developed the adapters (programs) in JSP which would help ARIBA to interact with Rendezvous and Message Broker. I successfully lead a team of people who were responsible POC and EAI team for MB3.x and ARIBA for different clients' business scenarios.

Winstar Telecomhas twenty-one application systems to support their business. Most of them are operated independently. They had planned to integrate all of them using eLink platform by BEA systems. To start with and to check the efficiency of eLink they planned to integrate Kenan /Arbor, the billing system and CSP HOST, the Order Entry system. Kenan/Arbor is a famous Telecom billing system and in order to interact with Tuxedo it uses a Kenan Adapteras a Tuxedo interface. The CSP hostis an Order entry system developed by Winstar and already has a Tuxedo interface. Our responsibility was to show the flow of data to Kenan Arbor if it is fed to CSP Host.
My responsibilities included doing the data mapping using eLink DIO (Data Integration Option) and writing client and server, which supported the integration. We also used BPO to show the over all flow of the business option. DIO is a famous data-mapping product called Mercator with a TUXEDO interface where as BPO comes from Inconcert with a TUXEDO interface. The code was written in C on UNIX using TUXEDO.

Due to an abrupt increase in the number of transactions per day, Ameritradeplanned to use three-layer architecture usingTUXEDOas middleware and shifting away from their current 24-Hour Broker System. The plan was to implement a middleware, using TUXEDO in all the three modes of business i.e. Web, Touchtone, and Periphonics.
My responsibilities included writing client and server for Touchtone and Periphonicsmodule. The code written for touch-tone used Pro*C, UNIX and TUXEDO. For the Periphonics module a third party product had to be used. The code generated to support Periphonics had to be integrated with Pro*Ccodes as required by the system.

Inacom is a fortune 500 Company and the largest business partner of IBM. After the merger of VGS and Inacom, the Order Entry System had to be modified according to business needs of VGS. This involved the requirement of a new design for the Order Entry, Databases, and writing new programs in RPG ILE and CL/400. The flow of order in Inacom is considerably different from the flow of Order in Vanstar, so a new design was necessary.

• My responsibilities included:
• Design of the Order Entry System based upon CLIN criteria
• Design of new databases and reports
• Writing new programs in C++ and Pro *C for Order Entry and Reports
• Interaction with Vanstar managers regarding requirements of the project
• Transfer of Data from Vanstar to Inacom Databases

This activity monitoring system keeps track of the flow of information in regards to Cold Rolling Mill from the front end to the Back end.
I was involved in filling Client Requirements, definitions, analysis and design of the system. I later developed the same using JAVA. I was assigning programs to Team members and performing validation programs in order to meet all the client standards.

Role: Offshore Module Leader
This project included both development and maintenance. The development included writing CICS-COBOL-DB2 programs. The Y2k project involved year 2000-date conversion for Remittance Interface making software compatible for handling year the 2000 date problems. The tool used for this was FATE (Formal Application Test Environment), which was used for System Testing. FATE had around 14 steps for the system testing of already converted programs. As far as comparison is concerned, it checked the function of the software at a date before year 2000, at the exact point of year 2000 and at a date after year 2000. All database fields were expanded to accommodate the century part. Display and report layout files were changed.
I was involved with the client requirements and system testing for Remittance Interface. My work included writing tests specifications for the whole team and assigning different programs to them for unit and system testing. Apart from doing the system testing myself, I was also involved in giving the technical support to the team.

Role: Assistant Systems Analyst
The proposed plan was to assess the impact of year 2000 changes in the various AS400 applications present in around ten modules of COKE headquarters in Atlanta. In order for that to be accomplished, we were using the tool developed by TCS. However, at that point in time the tool did not support RPG ILE and OCL codes. We had to enhance the tool to support the functionality as regards to the mentioned code. For this we were required to write new programs in RPG and CL and integrate them with the existing tool.
This project involved enhancement of the Y2k toolkit to support RPGILE and other Y2K related work. The previous tool developed by TCS did not support RPGILE conversion, so I wrote the program in CL and RPG in order for it to support RPGILE system. It also took care of vendor selection, finding status of pending Purchase orders, Order availability analysis, and Yearly/monthly/weekly plans of material arrival in the factory. Apart from that, I was also involved with ROSS applications, which hadaround 40 RPG, COBOL and 20 CL programs. I was involved in unit and system testing after converting the programs.

The AS/400 development Center planned to develop a tool, which could handle the Y2k problems. It was proposed that the tool should have four modules, namely Inventory, Analysis, Conversion and Testing.
The four modules are briefly explained below.

• Inventory generation - This module involved building the inter-relationship between the objects and source and also to generate the missing source and object list.
• Analysis - This module identifies the date fills in the database screens, reports and programs as regards to the date impact.
• Conversion - A strategy for planning and conversion, depending upon the requirements of the client, we could expand the database and do the corresponding changes in programs, screens and reports.
• Testing - This involved unit and system testing. The unit testing required test specifications and was done manually when required. Otherwise the tool took care of it.
