VALUES OF MCB
- The training sessions resembled much like the classroom format. Attendants were given
classroom like training lessons regarding the system. They were given books and CDs for
studying at home too.
- Since the system is meant for only the finance department, only people with financial and
accounting expertise could attend these sessions. They were, however, accompanied by
technical consultants, functional implementers, and Database Administrators (IT
personnel).
- While these sessions were going on, the attendants were not assigned with any work.
Coming to the organization, they would directly go to these sessions and not to work.
- In this course, attendants learned the basics regarding the table functionality of the core
Oracle General Ledger. This course also taught the Applications Basics and centered on
how to use the basic Applications tools to find information, as well as describe concurrent
processing, flex fields, alerts, and Oracle Workflow Builder. Attendants learned how to
read and understand Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs), and Oracle Applications'
Applications Technology ERDs.
- This course will also address the standards for using these interfaces.
- The attendants returned as soon as the training sessions ended, ready to carry out their
tasks with the new system.
- User authenticity:
As mentioned earlier, the system is restricted for use by the financial personnel, therefore
only people from the Financial Control department. Also, since its use is only finance
specific, others departments have nothing to do with it.
Having said that, there are passwords for the end users; hence passwords ensure security
and control.
- Physical access:
Physical access is made limited by locked server rooms, sign-in sheets, etc.
- Function security:
- Other sub functions may not correspond to a graphical element, and their exclusion
may not be obvious to an end user.
BACKUPS
- MCB has both cold sites and hot sites for its new financial system the Oracle
General Ledger.
- Since its not a multinational organization, it has its hot sites in Pakistan only.
- The cold sites are the various regional headquarters in the country.
- The hot site is the main headquarter in Karachi at the I.I. Chundrighar Road.
- Backups are scheduled on a daily bases in the off-peak hours (late nights).
- This time of the day has been selected due to the fact that during the day the systems
are overworked enough to be able to do in real time. Hence, batch processing suits
this organizations culture.
- The data stored would include the financial data converted into statements and
ledgers etc.
