RELATED IDEAS

Provide a hook point in the OOTB GenerateInstructionLineItems (GILI) batch to manipulate passed in dates

GILI (chunker) batch selects live financial components to process.

Within the selection criteria, a date range is determined, i.e. financial component nextProcessingDate falling inbetween this calculated range.

The passed in param dates (or financial calendar) are used to help determine this date range but there may be occasions when these dates may need to be manipulated, or calculated on the fly.

Can PD please consider a hook point so that custom logic could be applied to determine the date range used by the GIII chunker for it's financial component selection. It would be a hook point to potentially change the dates passed in (i.e. processingDate, processedDateTo and processedDateFrom) or, to calculate them for that day based on other specific business logic (e.g. a hook to potentially override the setProcessingDates() method).

This gives clients complete flexibility to manage and/or override dates based on their scenarios.

Customer Name Scottish Government
Persona Based Summary

As a batch user I want to be able to manipulate the dates passed into GILI (or calculate them on the fly) due to specific needs to allow correct financial components to be selected for processing.
Market Segment Eligibility & Entitlement
Type of Request Idea
Market Opportunity

The GILI is one of key financial batches that Curam has OOTB. Giving clients more options/flexibility to manage dates used in the selection criteria gives the client full control over processing of which financial components should be selected. It would be an additional selling point and reduce queries/PMR's etc. in this area.
Usage frequency + #/type of users impacted

GILI is run every night on most projects. The hook point being asked for would either be used every night as well if dates are being calculated there and then, OR used in specific scenarios (based on client needs).

    Hi Gary

    We have reviewed your enhancement suggestion.

    Based on the information provided, our understanding of your request is as follows:

    • A hookpoint to allow custom logic to be aplied to determine the date range used by the Gilli chunker.

    As discussed there is a related defect in this area which we will be looking to schedule a. fix for, this fix may negate the need for this enhancement request and on that basis we are closing this request. If the fix does not enable you to achieve your required outcome then please open a new enhancement request at that time.
