It provides an integrated user desktop for the management of all message types passing through your banking systems, such as SWIFT or preparatory internal standards of an organisation. The user desktop features a queuing and viewing environment, automatic message routing, processing and printing amongst other functionality. Any messages that need to be manually created can be controlled as required. Providing the foundation layer for the e²gen product range, MM integrates your Back Office System with third party applications and external messaging services, MM is a single integrated solution that; • Simplifies your institutions IT architecture • Initiates End of and Start of Day processing • Provides Back up •Provides Disaster Recovery and high availability • Reduces operational overhead This core module provides an exceptions processing environment, alerting users via email notification to any exceptions that need to be managed. SWIFT query and answer and internal query and answer management is a standard feature. Additionally, MM saves messages for the length of time required by your institution and can be purged from the on-line archive. Comprehensive search facilities allow users to locate and display any related messages in the system as well as being able to provide an intuitive and well commended auditing system. e²gen Message Management communicates with industry standard message services such as SWIFT Alliance by the use of e²gen gateway processes. Proprietary messages services are configurable. e²gen business processing modules integrate with MM allowing the solution to be configured to meet specific business requirements, its integration adapters are also available for third part products, such as Reuters, OMGEO, local clearing etc

5. e²gen Toolkit
Taken together with MM the e²gen toolkit will empower your technical staff to build and maintain their own application integration and the associated
business processing. Full training is provided in the use of the Developer’s Toolkit, together with hands on experience whilst building your own
applications. The key components of the e²gen Toolkit and their functionalities are outlined below.
Business Definitions Database – typically used to define and maintain institution specific messages or any industry standard messages not
supported by Aqua Global. Message standards are version dated, supplied and held in database files. This gives the customer the advantage that no
software updates are required to support any new standards. Changes can be tested before the go-live date. After acceptance, migration to the live
system follows and MM automatically switches to using the new standards on the go live date. Industry standard Messages are supported by Aqua
Global with updates typically released 3 months prior to the go-live date.
Message Mapping Definitions – allow the translation of data between messages and interfaces. MM uses an internal XML standard and all inward
messages are translated to these. This allows common business processing to be applied by e²gen and provides the ability to easily add new message
formats without the need for extensive business process re-engineering
Execution Definitions – these are essentially business logic that drive the processing from its initiation to completion. The definitions also contain the
ability to:
Steer the processing - depending upon a conditional requirement or values
Suspend the processing - whilst waiting for a return or an action to be
Halt the processing due to new exception condition - a user initiate a repair activity to a message for an occurrence that has not previously been
learned
Scan Definitions – used to determine conditional processing requirements. For example they can be used with process specific data values either
contained in messages, user defined tables or derived from your iSeries.
Workflow Engine – a powerful workflow engine is provided to control and monitor all processing. Workflows can be initiated automatically using
message status change triggers or specific business events or database activity. Manual workflows are initiated and controlled via ‘User Processes’.
Application Program Interface (API) Collection – these are a collection of Aqua Global developed API’s used to derive data values from ‘host’
application database files or book transactions into them. This information is used during processing e.g. account numbers & securities indexes.
Typically this information is used validate information contained in received messages before creating formatting the postings. These ‘Adapter
Programs’ allow a configurable bi-directional integration with your back office system
