AML Run in SAS AML 7.1

[upadhi]

Hi team,

My AGP is scheduled to run Monday to Thursday in a week. However, if the AGP is running on Monday, it should generate alerts for transactions happened on last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 

As per AML process, for daily scenarios, if AGP is running for Monday, it will generate alert only for transactions happened on Monday.
The requirement is that on Monday, it should generate alert for last weekend also.

Is there any optimal way to do this?

Hi @upadhi , Pardon for delayed response. I think, you might have already received the answer, still answering here. You can refer to it if you have still doubts.

In AML system, AGP runs on transaction date key. So, if you want to run Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday AGP altogether on Monday you have following options:

1. Running Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday AGP one by one. But, if we have to run all AGP one by one then it's better to run it on daily basis. No need to hold weekends till Monday.
2. Keeping transaction date as Monday's date while data loading for all four days Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday data. Then we can run AGP in one go for all four dates. But, this will not give correct date information for transactions.

I think, best option is schedule the process on daily basis. Since there are transactions available on all days, let the alerts generate on daily basis and on Monday Business will find all alerts ready. I don't think it's a good idea to hold AGP for four days.

Suppose, if there are no transactions during weekends and hence we don't want to run AGP then we can do that using Job Calendar Flag. In this case, we will not get any alerts over weekends as there are no transactions on those days.

Hello Manishiita,

Is it possible to have my AGP process run in real time in AML 7.1.6

SAS AML OOB solution doesn't provide any functionality to run AGP in real time. Also, SAS AML processes are mostly run in batch. To monitor transactions in real time, it will be a fraud management type of process. It will identify fraudulent transactions in Real Time and block it. In AML, we don't do that.

If you want to run complete AGP in real time, then it will need too many customization. Probably, a Real Time fraud management solution can do a better job.
