(NLS OFFLINE BRANCH SOLUTION)

1

OVERVIEW

NOBS enable organization to have the most up to date

information available at each of their branches during

unfortunate instances of network downtime.

Online data synchronization from the host system to the NOBS

system.

It can be used during planned server maintenance situations

such

as running of COB (Close of Business) or EOM (End of Month). The Transactions and maintenances will be updated

on the live system once back online.

FEATURES OF NOBS

Banks require a fully automated offline branch solution

capable of handling –

More than just processing branch transactions which

involve

More than just cash and cheque transaction processing.

NOBS gives the flexibility of including more functions

depending on specific requirements.

OPERATIONS DONE BY NOBS

NOBS improve the efficiency through automatic

synchronization

of data between branch and main server during network

connection

on real time basis.

Maintenance of static customer information on the offline

branch system.

Accurate and complete transaction postings onto the main

server

from the branch servers when connection is restored.

OPERATIONS DONE BY NOBS

System changes – packs, patches and upgrades performed

on the main server need not be applied to branch servers.

NOBS integrates Technical Support Service(TSS)

technology.

It automatically applies changes done on the main servers

to the branch servers. Secure transfer of data: NOBS uses DB level processes,

where the data transferred is encrypted by the data base

and is not visible to the users.

NOBS BRANCH NETWORK

10

• The branches configured to use NOBS and connected to

the main server can be either networked in

a) Direct Mode

b) Nodal mode.a) Direct Mode

• All branches directly connected to main branch server

(Number of branches limited by network strength and Main

server load capabilities )

b) Nodal Mode

• Main server is connected to specified distributed

branches, and these branches act as servers to other

branches in a tree

like structure.

AUTO ADMINISTRATIVE CHANNELS

11

• NOBS is configured with auto channels like Email and SMS

for notifications in case of any event.

Centralized Administration• NOBS – Dashboard gives control of the whole branch

network structure from head office, by giving information on

Branch

Synchronizer

Bridge status

on a real-time basis.

• Also comes with an option for distributed administration if

so desired.

REPLICATION

Replication is the process of sharing information between

databases or any other type of server to ensure that the

content is consistent between systems.

Here Replication is used for sharing the information

between NLS NOBS main database and the branch

database.

Replication to take place, we need to set up all the

branches acting as hubs, including the NOBS main server

as master configurations and those connecting to the hubs

as slave configurations

12

NOBS Dashboard will use in the head office to monitor

branches using NOBS to carry out transactions.

While using the NOBS Dashboard the head office can

find the following details from their branches.

1. Total branches

2. Branches connected

3. Branch name

4. IP address

5. NOBS Status

6. Branches using NOBS
