    Data Formatting Engine (DFE) is used to extract data from T24 in the form of Excel and text files with specified delimiters. Key applications used in DFE include DFE.PARAMETER, DFE.MAPPING, and BATCH. DFE.MAPPING defines how data is mapped during inward and outward processing, including file selection, ID generation, and field mapping. DFE.PARAMETER defines parameters like transaction mode, file paths, and job details. The BATCH application is used to run DFE services that perform the actual extraction and loading of data.

    6. What is the role of DFE.OUTWARD.FILE.EXTRACT in DFE


    Outward?
    It is a multi-threaded routine which will extract data from
    applications mapped and update in Work File – DFE.OUTWARD.
    WORK.FILE

    7. What is the role of DFE.OUTWARD.FILE.EXTRACT.POST in


    DFE Outward?
    It is a single-threaded routine which will read data updated in
    Work File – DFE.OUTWARD. WORK.FILE and update data to output
    file in given format.

    8. What is the process / flow involved in DFE Inward?


     T24 system will read data file received from Third Party System
    and uploaded into Work file.
     Records will be uploaded into T24 from WorkFile.
    Flat File ->Work File-> T24 System.

    9. What is the name of Work File involved in DFE Inward process?


    DFE.INWARD. WORK.FILE

    DFE.INWARD.FILE.PROCESS (Multi Thread)

    11. What is the role of DFE.INWARD.PRE.PROCESS in DFE


    Inward?
    It is a single Thread routine which will update WorkFile
    (DFE.INWARD. WORK.FILE) with data given in Flat File.

    12. What is the role of DFE.INWARD.FILE.PROCESS in DFE


    Inward?
    It is a Multi Thread Routine which will post records available in
    work file (DFE.INWARD.WORK.FILE)into T24.
    13. What is the application name in which T24 will log where process
    status and error log?
    DFE.INTRF.LOG

    14. What is the application name which needs to be setup during


    outward real time process?
    DFE.REALTIME. PARAMETER

    15. Why we will be using the field MSG.POST.TYPE used in


    DFE.PARAMETER?
    It is for defining mode of Outward Real Time Interface. It will be
    Given with values when we give value as ONLINE for mode of
    Transaction is given as online.

    16. What will be the possible values for MSG.POST.TYPE?


    EACH.MSG.SYNC
    EACH.MSG.ASYN
    FINAL.MSG.SYNC
    FINAL.MSG.ASYNC

    17. What will happen if we give FINAL.MSG.SYNC /


    FINAL.MSG.ASYNC?
    DFE.OUTWARD. FILE.EXTRACT extracts data from T24 and
    populate to a Work File.
    DFE.OUTWARD. FILE.EXTRACT.POST concatenates all messages
    from Work File into single file and publish to CALLJEE

    18. What will happen if we give EACH.MSG.SYNC /


    EACH.MSG.ASYNC?
    DFE.OUTWARD. FILE.EXTRACT extracts data from T24 and publish
    it to Third Party.

    19. In Outward Real time process, what is the application where will do
    mapping details to publish data to external System?
    DFE.CONNECTOR. DETAILS (It comes into picture when we use
    Mode of Transaction as Online)

    20. In Outward Real time process, how will you do setup to publish data
    as SOAP request to external system?
    Setup in TAFC
    Setup should be done in both DFE.CONNECTOR. DETAILS
    and DFE.PARAMETER.
    A record should be created in DFE.CONNECTOR.DETAILS with
    below information
    JEE Host
    JEE Port
    Record ID should be given in DFE.PARAMETER to link.
    Setup in TAFJ:
    Jms Context Factory field in DFE.CONNECTOR. DETAILS

    Below setup in DFE.PARAMETER


    21. What is the application which is used to transform messages in XML
    format to other formats (HTML, etc.,)?
    DE.TRANSFORM

    22. What are the available options for related to ID of records while
    uploading data?
    ID.GEN.TYPE is the field in DFE.MAPPING which has 3 options.
    DATA AUTO RTN

    23. Which is recommended among DATA and AUTO and why?


    DATA is the option which is recommended as T24 has locking
    Mechanism.
    If AUTO has been chosed while uploading, then it may lead to Time
    Consumption.

    24.What are the routines (Fields) you can attach it in DFE.MAPPING?


    There are 5 fields (5 routines). They are
     PRE.PROCESS.RTN
     POST.UPDATE.RTN
     INDIV.RECORD.RTN
     ONLINE.RESP.RTN
     USR.DEF.RTN
    Also File Selection , ID Routine, Field Operation, Field Conversion.
    25. I have to select / restrict certain records by multiple filters and
    should perform some validations as well. How will you achieve this
    while extraction?
    It can be done by routine level. It is by attaching routine to
    PRE.PROCESS.RTN field.

    26. DFE.MAPPING provides a facility to attach routine during


    selection of raw data being uploaded into T24 from flat file and being
    extracted from T24 as a flat file.
    DFE.MAP.FILE.SELECTION.HOOK
    Data Formatting Engine (DFE)
     Data Formatting Engine (DFE), a common interface framework is designed in such a way that it
    supports both uploading of messages/files received from external system into T24 as well
    extract data from T24.
     DFE is capable of handling both online messages and offline files.
     DFE supports delimiter based files and fixed position messages/ files.
     DFE is capable of handling both synchronous and asynchronous messages.

    Used for Reporting Tool:


    Extract data from T24 in the form of Excel and Text format with specified Delimiter(;).

    Applications used for DFE:

     DFE.PARAMETER
     DFE.MAPPING
     BATCH
     TSA.SERVICE
     TSA.WORKLOAD.PROFILE
    Helptext for T24 DFE applications:

    DFE.MAPPING

    DFE.PARAMETER
    BATCH

    TSA.WORKLOAD.PROFILE

    TSA.SERVICE
    Run the service in TAFJEE

    It was allocate the agent to run the service and run the service .

    Once the service was run successfully it create a CSV file we have mentioned in the DFE.PARAMETER
    record

    Sample Routine files:

    File path : (“../” should indicates the “/home/T24DM/TAFJ”)


    ../(path you want to extract the report)

    Ex : //home/T24DM/TAFJ/DFE.EXTRACT

     “/home/T24DM/TAFJ” is TAFJ_HOME.
     “DFE.EXTRACT” is the folder, It contains the extracted CSV files.

    Ex : MCB.INTRF.007.20190828.CSV (if Today date is “20190828”)

    Example Output file :

    CSV file should have extract data format be like


    'Arrangement Id':';':'Loan Status':';':'Overdue Status':';':'Loan Installment
    Amount':';':'Loan Payment Frequency':';':'Loan Last Paid
    Amount':';':'Overdue Date':';':'Loan Close Date':';':'Total Number of
    Bill':';':'Outstanding Bill':';':'Total Amount Due'

    Ex:

    AA1808016HJ7;CANCELLED;Current;40000;Monthly;40000;20180328;2;40000;320000
    DFE.MAPPING
    This is a mapping table where we will define data that
    is required for DFE framework during inward / outward processing.
    During Inward processing, Inward message data being uploaded to T24
    application within raw message data (Flat file) will be located in this table.
    During outward processing, actual data extracted from T24 raw data will be
    located in this table.
    This table has 33 fields totally and has below 3 mandatory fields.
    File Name
    GB Description
    Record Format
    FM, VM, SM - A symbol or a group of character which will DFE use for
    replacement during upload and extract
    Value defined in this field will be sent as delimiter in extracted file during outward
    process
    Value defined in this field will be located in incoming file as delimiter during
    Inward process
    ID Gen Type – Auto Data Rtn
    Auto – It should be selected in certain inward message/file uploads.
    It is during File upload of FT, AAA, etc.,
    Set of fields (ID Routine, ID Position, ID Length are not required for
    Auto)
    Rtn- Routine based ID Generation
    Data – As is (Both Inward and Outward)

    ID Routine – User Routine to form @ID of a record will be defined.


    It can be used during both inward and outward process.
    It can be used during both position-based and delimiter-based process.

    ID Position – Position of ID in
    It can be used during both inward and outward.
    It can be used during both position-based and delimiter-based process.
    Value in this field decides position of ID in incoming data and
    extracted data.

    ID Length – Field will be defined with numeric value which denotes length of
    the ID to be picked during position-based process.
    Value in this field can/can’t be defined during position-based process.
    Value in this field is not required for Delimiter-based process.
    It can be used during both inward and outward.

    DFE.PARAMETER
    This is the Parameter table where we will define

    Mode of transaction and basic details


    Unique path where extracted data from T24 to be placed
    Unique path to pick up the file for upload.
    This has 8 Mandatory fields.
    It differs based on inward / outward
