SIDE Recovery
Data Translation/Enrichment
Reasons to switch operations to a cold backup SWIFTAlliance Access include hardware failure, data corruption, human mistake, and many other situations.
The recovery process can often be cumbersome because the status of many messages is unknown. In such circumstances, one needs a failsafe tool to guide in restarting operations and recovering outstanding messages without worrying about loss or duplication of messages sent or received.
SIDE Recovery provides a wizard to assist the user to:
Retrieve messages from SWIFT to fill in reception gaps
Recreate messages under manual preparation and insert them in the correct queue (Modification, Verification, Authorisation) where they were before the SWIFTAlliance outage
Re-inject outgoing messages on behalf of back office applications unable to resend traffic
Retrieve or re-inject incoming messages not yet acknowledged by back office applications
Rebuild your SWIFTAlliance Message File with the correct status for each message
No matter the status of the message at the time of the disaster, no matter the source of this message, SIDE Recovery avoids gaps and duplicates
Powerful test tool
In addition to its role in critical situations, SIDE Recovery can be used in daily operations to replicate received traffic on a test system using Test & Training identifiers. In this mode, SIDE Recovery enables simplified testing, free of any messaging charges, new routing schema or new back-office applications, using an exact copy of your live traffic under Test & Training.
