Endorsement Framework

Endorsement Framework:

• Validation by a second user of an action taken on a “static data entity” (e.g. Bank) by a first user.
• Provides functionality to generate endorsement events when a User performs an action on an endorsable entity.
• Manages endorsement events while they await approval by a User.
• Examples of static data entities for which endorsement can be setup:
  • Bank
  • Bank User Role
  • Business Calendar
  • Participant
  • Exchange condition
  • Products
• Endorsement activation depends on a configuration file setup:
  • Either all entities or no entities require endorsement
  • Setup is done on the level of Bank Group
• Actions that trigger the creation of an endorsement event are:
  • Creation of an entity
  • Update to an entity
  • Activation of an entity
  • Suspension of an entity
  • Deletion of an entity
• For each endorsement audit records, capturing the modifications made by the User, are created.
• The default behaviour for endorsement is to hide the modified details from the user until endorsement is done successfully.
• Each instance of an endorse-able entity has an endorsement status:.
  • Pending endorsement for Modification
  • Pending endorsement for Deletion
  • Pending endorsement for Creation
  • Pending endorsement for Suspension
  • Pending endorsement for Activation
  • No Endorsement outstanding
• Only a single active endorsement event can be pending against an entity.
