Reg-Track connector

IBM OpenPages® Regulatory Compliance Management (RCM) includes a connector for Reg-Track.

The Reg-Track connector enables you to load regulatory events from Reg-Track into RCM. You can set up rules to process the incoming regulatory events automatically. Rules trigger workflows that are assigned to users based on the data points in the regulatory events. The rules help you to assign tasks to users efficiently so that they can respond to and prepare for regulatory changes.

Note: To use the connector, you must meet the following prerequisites:
  • You must have a Reg-Track subscription. For more information, contact Reg-Track.
  • You must install the Reg-Track connector. For more information, contact your IBM® representative.
When OpenPages imports regulatory event feeds from Reg-Track, it does the following tasks:
  • Checks if there are any changes to the Reg-Track taxonomy.
    If changes are found, OpenPages does the following tasks:
    • Updates the fields in the RCM-RegTrack-Taxonomy field group.
    • Sends an email to the users who are set up as Reg-Track Administrators.

    For more information, see Reg-Track taxonomy updates.

  • Checks if the taxonomy mapping file has changed. If a new taxonomy mapping file is found, OpenPages uses the new mappings when it imports regulatory feeds. For more information about the taxonomy mapping file, see Mapping Reg-Track taxonomy values to OpenPages field values.
  • For regulatory events, OpenPages does the following steps:
    • Creates a Reg-Track Regulatory Event object for each new incoming regulatory event.
    • Checks the Reg-Track Series ID of each incoming regulatory event and looks for a Reg-Track Regulatory Event Series object with the same series ID.

      If OpenPages finds a match, OpenPages associates the regulatory event with the Reg-Track Regulatory Event Series.

      If a Reg-Track Regulatory Event Series object does not exist for the series ID, OpenPages creates one and associates the regulatory event with the new Reg-Track Regulatory Event Series object.

    • Checks each of the incoming regulatory events against all of the Reg-Track rules that are enabled in OpenPages. If the regulatory event meets the conditions of a rule, the rule is triggered. For more information, see Processing regulatory events by using rules.
