Issues
Issues have still to be resolved in the migration of International Bank Validation to external hosting:
- Finance colleagues have concerns about the warning messages returned by Bank Validation in eFinancials in Dev and Test
- Bank Validation continues to fail in FPM in Dev and Test
The Bank Validation migration is a compliance requirement. It is therefore not possible to close this project until a solution has been reached, and the new hosted software has been deployed to Live, for both eFinancials and FPM.
- The Business Lead, Programme Manager and Portfolio Manager have therefore agreed that the project may be extended into the 2016/17 Planning Year, solely to support the ongoing issues with the Bank Validation.
In accordance with this agreement, the two Bank Validation related Jiras have been moved into a new Batch 4, which will carry forward into 2016-17, to support remedial activity by Experian and ABS. These Jiras are:
- International Bank Validation (Phase 1) - Change of Hosting from UOE to Experian (Jira FIN108-2)
- FPM v2.3 Configuration on Dev Environment (Jira FIN108-26)
Next Steps
- ABS and Experian to resolve Bank Validation issues
