ECT
Business Level Environment Comparison Tool for Temenos T24
ECT (Environment Comparison Tool) is a powerful tool for comparing two independent T24 databases and displaying field-level differences. It allows for the full-scale comparison of T24 tables of two different databases, as well as the comparison of selected, individual tables.
ECT is capable of detecting identical business contents and analyse their sameness and integrity. This means that the tool is capable of finding, comparing and pairing business functions and events in two separate, parallel systems.
The Environment Comparison Tool can be very useful when any kind of development is due whicht might impact or negatively affect other software components. ECT comes especially handy when a T24 system upgrade is due, as pre- and post-upgrade environments can easily be compared, thus any undesired annoyances, including for example data loss, can be prevented.
T24 database comparison methods in ETC:
- Technical (ID-based): In each case, records in a T24 database with identical identifiers are compared. Determines data integrity and sameness down to bit level. Useful for example in the frame of BCP/DRP testing, where databases must be the same on all levels down to the last digit.
- Business (content-based): Records with differing identifiers are compared, and the system looks for differences, deviations in the two T24 databases, based on pre-defined parameters. E.g. in the case of a bank transfer, it checks specific features that make the transfer unique, such as credit/debit account number, date, etc., and compares it to the information stored in a parallel system. The system generated IDs differ, but the tool can find the corresponding transactions based on other features.
Enhanced reporting of T24 database comparisons:
The result of the T24 environment comparison is presented by ECT in easily understandable graphical reports featuring a tree structure showing differences on table- and record-level, and fields can also be filtered in the list of results.
