| Description |
|
IBM Financial Transaction Manager for z/OS V2.0 and IBM Financial IBM Transaction Manager for Multiplatforms V2.0 contain industry software accelerators (specifications, standards, and physical code) that have been developed as an integration layer on top of IBM middleware software for payments processing.
IBM Financial Transaction Manager integrates, orchestrates, and monitors financial transactions. This product provides the functionality to create and collect the state of financial transactions while providing integration capability including common data and message models based on an industry standard (ISO 20022).
IBM Financial Transaction Manager includes the following core components:
- A conceptual data model that supports the persistence of financial transactions (for example, payments or securities) objects (files, batches, transactions, acknowledgements), partner profile data, service, and channel definitions. It holds a rich repository of payment data stored in the ISO20022 based internal standard format (ISF), which provides rich views of the payments processing from the Financial Transaction Manager user interface and for interrogation using Transaction Processing Facility's MIS or other reporting products. This data model is delivered as a set of entity relationship diagrams, Data Dictionary documents, and data definition language (DDL) for IBM DB2® on AIX® and IBM DB2 on z/OS .
- A standardized message model based on ISO 20022. This enables the reduction of the number of point-to-point interactions and enables a more agile approach to introducing new services, and promotes reuse of processes. It is delivered as XML schemas for use with WebSphere® Message Broker.
- An engine to manage transaction processing lifecycle in the form of a state machine for process flow execution. It is event driven architecture and is driven by data derived from IBM Rational® Software Architect. It is delivered as WebSphere Message Broker projects and also uses an Eclipse plug-in for Rational Software Architect to extract data to drive the state machine.
- A prebuilt set of dashboards to provide a business activity monitor view of the processing that uses the events generated by IBM Financial Transaction Manager.
- A prebuilt set of message translations in and out of the ISF to accelerate integration with SWIFT messages.
- A configuration and administrative user interface to provide a view of the data model. It also supports appropriately authorized operations personnel interacting with the processing steps of a transaction (for example, resubmit a transaction). It is delivered as WebSphere Application Server Enterprise Archive (EAR) files.
- Documentation for the development methodology, user interface, installation and setup, message model, data model, and sample application.
- A sample application to demonstrate capability of the environment. It contains a sample process to demonstrate the processing of individual payments (SWIFT MT 103) and batch payments (pain.001 and pain.002) in the IBM Financial Transaction Manager environment. It shows how to go from functional requirements to high level design to implementation of these processes in IBM Financial Transaction Manager. It is delivered as WebSphere Message Broker projects.
IBM Financial Transaction Manager is designed to offer the following benefits:
- Includes real-time dashboards with necessary payment insights and proactive actions
- Accelerates on-boarding new corporate customers
- Provides the platform to processing large volumes of global disbursements
- Offers flexibility and control over volume of payment requests
- Expands support for new payment schemes and types
- Effectively manages cost associated with the modernization and adoption of updated payment schemes and types as they are introduced, such as SEPA Direct Debit, SEPA Credit Transfer, Same-day ACH.

Value Unit (VU)
Value Unit is the unit of measure by which this program is licensed. Value Unit entitlements are based on the quantity of a specific designated measurement, either users or resources, for the given program. A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be obtained for the appropriate number of Value Units required for your environment as defined by the specific program terms. The Value Unit entitlements are specific to the program and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with VU Value Unit entitlements of another program. To understand these benefits of Value Unit licensing, and to determine how many VU Value Units to obtain for the program, contact your IBM representative.
Resource Value Unit (RVU)
RVU is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. RVU Proofs of Entitlement are based on the number of units of a specific resource used or managed by the program. Licensee must obtain sufficient entitlements for the number of RVUs required for licensee's environment for the specific resources as specified in the program specific table. RVU entitlements are specific to the program and the type of resource and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with RVU entitlements of another program or resource. Refer to the program specific RVU table.
Notes :
- Some programs may require licenses for the resources available to and the resources being managed by the program. In that case, the following applies. In addition to the entitlements required for the resources used by the program directly, licensee must obtain entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the resources managed by the program.
- Some programs may be licensed on a managed basis only . In that case, the following applies. Instead of the entitlements required for the resources used by the program directly, licensee must obtain entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the resources managed by the program.

| Statement of good security practices |
|
IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered destroyed or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.

| IBM Electronic Services |
|
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent™ is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM . Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
