Signing Onto T24 using the T24 Browser

Connecting to the Server Unlike with Desktop, no proprietary software downloads or installations are required to connect to the T24 Browser. The only prerequisite is that the user has an Internet Browser installed, e.g. IE5.

T24 Browser connects to T24 via a web server. The web server contains the client facing packages and software required to create the user interface.

To connect to the server the user simply types in a designated URL into the Browser window, corresponding to the Web Server’s address.

Figure 1 - Blank Browser Window with a URL

The web server is responsible for taking the HTTP request generated by the client’s browser and parsing it onto the T24 server. T24 will then send back a response to the web server, which will then parse and display the results in the client’s browser window.

TEMENOS T24 User Guide Page 5 of 69

Page 6: Browser Navigation

Signing onto T24 Once the T24 Browser has successfully connected to the web server, the T24 Browser Sign In Screen is displayed. Enter your T24 user sign in name and password in the appropriate boxes and click the “Sign in” button or press Enter.

Figure 2 - T24 Browser Sign In Screen

TEMENOS T24 User Guide Page 6 of 69

Page 7: Browser Navigation

The Sign In screen also contains a number of links for further information on using the T24 Browser. These include:

LINK DESCRIPTION

Full Tour This contains information regarding the functionality contained in the browser, as well as links new functionality, etc.

Quick Guide Guide showing a brief overview of the user interface of the browser.

FAQ A list of frequently asked questions and answers for information.

Help Displays T24 Portal page.

The web server then passes on the information provided to the web server via an HTTP request to the server where T24 resides.

After the username and password have been validated by T24, the user will then be given a token. This token represents a user session. This session will last until the user either logs off from his or her user session, or the session times out. The default timeout for a session is thirty minutes.

T24 will then pass back a response to the web server, which will subsequently be parsed and displayed via a Browser. Any further requests that the user makes during the session will contain the token reference.

Command Line Uses

ACTION DESCRIPTION

Launch an Enquiry Enter “ENQ” or “QUERY” followed by the name of the enquiry, e.g.

ENQ ACCOUNT-LIST

Run an Enquiry To run an enquiry direct from the command line with NO selection criteria enter “QUERY” followed by the name of the enquiry and the word “NONE”, e.g.

QUERY ACCOUNT-LIST NONE

To run an enquiry direct from the command line with selection criteria enter “ENQ” followed by the name of the enquiry and the criteria in the form : field operand value, e.g.

ENQ ACCOUNT-LIST ACCOUNT EQ 100069

or

ENQ STMT.ENT.BOOK BOOKING.DATE EQ !TODAY ACCOUNT EQ 100069

To run an enquiry direct from the command line using your last selection criteria enter “ENQ” followed by the name of the enquiry and the word “LAST”, e.g.

ENQ ACCOUNT-LIST LAST

Launch an application Any other input is treated as an attempt to launch an application, in one of the following forms:

1) CUSTOMER – Initiates the CUSTOMER application; record search screen.

2) CUSTOMER I – Initiates the CUSTOMER application; record search screen.

3) CUSTOMER I 123456 – Initiates the CUSTOMER application; invokes the record 123456 for input.

4) CUSTOMER I F3 – Initiates the CUSTOMER application; invokes the next free record for input.

Launch a record with a specific function.

This is limited in that T24 Browser deals with functions differently to that of T24 Desktop. The only functions that are possible from the command lines are S (See), I (Input) and V (Verify).

The execute button to the right of the command line - - executes the command currently displayed in the command line, as does hitting the return key when the command line is in focus (i.e. the cursor is in the command line).

In addition, the F3 key may be used as the execution key that automatically adds the F3 to the current command and performs the execution.

A history of previous commands will be displayed on entering the command line text box. A dropdown will appear matching the previous commands against the command typed. Choosing a command from the history list will enter it as the current command, where it may be modified and / or launched as a normal command.

Contracts

Contract search An application can be invoked either by navigating through the initial T24 menu structures or by entering the correct command via the Command line. E.g. FOREX.

When the application search is invoked the user will be presented with the following Window.

Clicking on the More Actions dropdown arrow will produce the drop down list.

Figure 8 - Contract Search Screen

The name of the application – Version will be displayed in the top left hand corner of the screen. The name of the account and the version of T24 will also be displayed.

The Window is spit into two sections. The left hand section consists of related menus; the right hand section consists of a facility to search for a record. The left hand side menu is displayed either by the user expanding it, or depending on the status of the deal being edited/viewed.

The left hand menu can be hidden by pressing the Less button ( ) or caption. The menu can be re-displayed by pressing the more button ( ) or caption.

The user can either enter the record id required into the text box, or do a drop down search for the key. This is accomplished by selecting the down arrow to the right of the text box. A new window will be invoked displaying a list of all the records linked to that application.

Figure 9 - Pop up window containing valid record IDs to select

Select the value that is required by left clicking on the hyperlink with the mouse. This value will then be automatically placed into the text box, and the pop up window will disappear.

At the top of the screen there are three possible buttons: Edit and View and Action. On selecting the Key that is required, either one of these buttons can be used to invoke the deal. The Edit button opens the deal for editing, whereas the View only opens the deal in See mode. The Action button opens the deal in See mode but takes a lock on the server so delete, Authorise or reversal transactions can be done.

Directly to the right of the down arrow icon there is the new deal icon. When this is pressed, a new deal is invoked.

Dropdowns

Some fields on a contract screen may have a drop down icon to the right of it. A drop down can return a list of IDs relating to the file that the field relates to, or can run an enquiry with optional selection criteria.

If the file has a related file defined in STANDARD.SELECTION, then the drop down will list the IDs and information for that field. If however the field is marked as having an enquiry attached to it as defined in VERSION, then the drop down will contain the results of the enquiry. Clicking on a record in the dropdown list will cause the value to be applied to the contract screen.

An example drop down result related to the CUSTOMER file would be:

Checkboxes and Radio Buttons

Fields that have a ‘YES/NO’ option are displayed as a Checkbox by default, when inputting a record. Enrichment is provided next to the checkbox to display the field value based upon whether the checkbox is checked or not.

Similarly, fields that have 2 or 3 possible options are displayed as Radio Buttons by default.

The following examples illustrate the above field types: -

There may be circumstances where a ‘Combo-box’ field display type is required instead of the default Checkbox or Radio Buttons illustrated above. This is defined in the related VERSION record by applying the value ‘COMBOBOX’ to the DISPLAY.TYPE, for the related field on the Version.

Additionally, Radio Buttons can be displayed vertically by applying the value ‘VERTICAL.OPTIONS’ to the DISPLAY.TYPE, for the related field on the Version.

This is illustrated in the following examples: -

Calendar Popup

Some fields on a contract screen may have a calendar icon ( ) to the right of it. This icon will display a popup of the current calendar month and is only applicable to date fields. On selecting the date required by left clicking on it with the mouse, the value is then placed in the corresponding field.

If a date including an alternative month or year is required then select the required month and year and press the Go ( ) button. Once the new month is displayed, select the required date as before.

Today’s date is highlighted in red. An example calendar would be:

The calendar pop-up works exactly the same as a normal Calendar icon within the T24 Application. In Frequency Control, this field is more like a mandatory field.

Additionally there are 4 radio buttons defined as “Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Defined”.

Each one of these radio buttons, upon clicking, displays a specific Frequency Pattern.

1. Daily defines Daily and Business Day Frequencies.

Field Expansion The T24 Browser allows for the expansion and deletion of multi value fields.

Figure 32 - Multi-value expansion in a tab version.

The contract allows for multi and sub values to be expanded and deleted. A multi value field will have and icons to the left of its text box. The caption to the right of the icons will indicate the actual

multi value number of that field. E.g. in the above example, the field paying Acct has two instances. Each of the instances are highlighted like so:

Paying Acct :.1

The number represents the multi value instance.

TEMENOS T24 User Guide Page 38 of 69

Page 39: Browser Navigation

Browser Navigation

A multi value can be added by clicking on the icon with the mouse. Likewise, to delete a multi value, the user can click on the icon. If there is only one multi/sub-value, then the button is not displayed.

In the case of Sub values, the field will have an icon to the right of the minus icon. To add a new sub value, the user simply clicks on this new button. To subtract the sub value, the user clicks on the icon if present. If there only is one sub value, but there is more than one multi value set, then the Browser will delete the multi value set in question.

There only is one button. T24 Browser uses this button to delete both sub values and multi values.

Each of the sub value instances are highlighted like so:

Bene Address:.1.1

This corresponds to the first multi value instance, and the first sub value instance.

Hot Fields The term ‘hot field’ applies to any field on a record that automatically sends a validation request to the server on change of data. Hot Fields are shown with a next to them.

Figure 33 - Hot fields

TEMENOS T24 User Guide Page 39 of 69

Page 40: Browser Navigation

Browser Navigation

In this case the field CLIENT is a hot field. If the field fails validation, then an error message will be displayed in the menu under Deal Errors. When a Hot Field is validated it will also show any enrichment for that field.

To specify a field as a Hot Field the VERSION to which it belongs must be amended. The field “ATTRIBS“should be set to “HOT.FIELD” to signify that validation should be run when this field is exited:

Figure 34 - Set the ATTRIBS field to HOT.FIELD

If a Hot Field is also a dropdown field (as signified with the dropdown icon), then the validation will only be run if the value in the Hot Field does not contain the wildcard characters “…”. This is to allow a user to obtain a dropdown list without the contract being validated.

Web Validation

Web Validation enables the user to perform validation of a contract on the web server. Web validation fields are indicated by the icon

In the past this role has been tailored for by validation routines run in the T24 Application Server. Web Validation classes reside on the Web Server, thus speeding up the validation process. This method involves validation of a contract in the background, thus allowing the user to continue editing the contract while validation takes place at the web server. When the validation has completed the currently displayed contract will be updated with any field data changes, as well as any errors and messages.

Web validation makes use of the TSDK – “T24 Software Development Kit“. This product contains Java classes and methods which resemble the core T24 applications (e.g. Customer, Account, etc.). The kit also supports communication to the T24 Application Server to read and write records, etc. In this instance, we use the TSDK to validate T24 contracts.

Note : At present Web Validation only works when the XSL transform is set to the server. This is due to a bug in IE6. This bug, according to Microsoft (Microsoft report number 323069), will be fixed in IE6 service pack 2. For more details please see the following web site: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=%2Fservicedesks%2Fbin%2Fkbsearch.asp%3FArticle%3D323069

The writing of web validation routines assumes that the developer has a sound knowledge of Java.

The following outlines the steps involved in setting up Web Validation:

• Create the Web Validation class

• Package and deploy the class

• Set up the EB.API record for the new class

• Set up the Web Validate field in the version

• Generating tsdk local development classes

For further details and examples please refer to the ‘TSDK Implementation Guide’ under the API Section.

Check File Enrichments. Check File Enrichments will give the User enrichment text for a field after the focus has been moved away from it, this enhancement will work for all field listed in the STANDARD.SELECTION System fields.

To enable the system to allow Check file enrichments the SYSTEM record in BROWSER.PARAMETERS will need to be edited so that the Attributes field has

CHECKFILE.ENRICHMENT flagged up.

Figure 35 - Check File Enrichment

Note: that the TCServer will need to be stopped and restarted after this file has been edited and authorised

This will by default allow all users to use Check File Enrichments functionality, this functionality is automatically applied and will provide enrichments to fields associated with tables and that are listed on the STANADARD.SELECTION record.

Errors On either Committing or validating a deal, the contract is sent back to the server. The results of the action are then re-displayed in the same window. In the case of any errors, the contract will highlight any erroneous fields in red and display the reason for each error under Deal Errors. The field names on the Deal Errors menu are hyperlinks that when clicked will place the cursor in the field with that error.

Deal Slip Printing The printing of deal slip reports is controlled via the following applications: BROWSER.PREFERENCES and VERSION.

BROWSER.PREFERENCES The BROWSER.PREFERENCES application has a record for each of the users. To access the record, the user needs to select the ‘Amend preferences’ tool from the Tools menu page.

Figure 46 - Selecting the BROWSER.PREFERENCES tool

BROWSER.PREFERENCES allows the user to specify the location of the deal slip printing. This can either be set to the server or to a local printer.

The ‘printer location’ field has the following possible values:

SERVER

LOCAL

Figure 47 - Setting the deal slip printing location

VERSION The actual report printed, and when the report is printed, is controlled via the application VERSION. VERSION has four fields of interest with regard to deal slip printing:

D.SLIP.FORMAT

D.SLIP.FUNCTION

D.SLIP.TRIGGER

D.SLIP.STYLE.SHEET

Figure 48 - VERSION report

Figure 49 - Deal Slip Print in VERSION

D.SLIP.FORMAT The value(s) defined here are used to produce Deal Slips according to the function and whether the user wants to have them produced automatically or when a 'hot key' is used. Deal slips can be printed to a connected local printer or directed to a Network device. Refer to the REPORT CONTROL section of the Systems Administration User Guide for details of setting up printers.

Deal slips can be linked to a function such as Input, Reversal or Authorisation and specific Deal Slips can be made to relate to those functions.

Either an ENQUIRY record or a DEAL.SLIP.FORMAT record can be entered. If a valid DEAL.SLIP.FORMAT then the system will provide enrichment from the record so the user will know they have the correct record.

Alternatively, an ENQUIRY record can be used to provide a Deal Slip. In this case the enrichment will inform the user that an ENQUIRY record has been selected.

The user may drilldown to the related table DEAL.SLIP.FORMAT to view or select the record to use.

The combination of the associated fields is used to define when the Deal Slip can be produced.

TEMENOS T24 User Guide Page 51 of 69

To trigger them automatically you need to define:

Field Content Required

D.SLIP.FORMAT TELLER.SLIP.INPUT

D.SLIP.FUNCTION I

D.SLIP.TRIGGER OL

This will only print the Deal Slip 'TELLER.SLIP.INPUT' when the deal is validated at I(nput) time.

To trigger them via a 'hot key' or the Browser Deal Slip icon you need

Field Content Required

D.SLIP.FORMAT TELLER.SLIP.INPUT

D.SLIP.FUNCTION I

D.SLIP.TRIGGER RQ

This will only print the Deal Slip 'TELLER.SLIP.INPUT' at I(nput) time when the 'hot key' is used.

Validation Rules

• Input to this field must be a valid record in either ENQUIRY or DEAL.SLIP.FORMAT files.

• Must have values in fields D.SLIP.FUNCTION and D.SLIP.TRIGGER to produce Deal Slips

D.SLIP.FUNCTION The Deal Slips can be produced at various times according to the function (or codeword FINISH) and whether they are produced automatically or in conjunction with a 'hot key'.

This functionality only works when D.SLIP.TRIGGER is set to OL. If it is set to RQ then the ‘hot key’ will always be active on the deal, but will only produce a report when the function is set to I. This differs from Desktop in that Desktop will only print the deal when a certain function is in process – the function as selected below.

FUNCTIONS

Valid functions are:

Data Description

I Input

A Authorise

C Copy

R Reverse

D Delete

H History |Restore

FINISH

Where FINISH is specified, this processing is dependent on the application and may not be triggered for all applications.

Validation Rules

• Valid input is I, A, C, R, D, H or FINISH.

• Must have input in fields D.SLIP.FORMAT and D.SLIP.TRIGGER fields to be effective.

D.SLIP.TRIGGER Specifies whether a Deal Slip is produced using a 'Hot Key' or at specified points in a contracts Life Cycle. Control of how and when the Deal Slip(s) are produced is handled by the combination of the function and the trigger type. The two trigger types are:

Trigger type Action

OL Generate a deal slip automatically at points defined by D.SLIP.FUNCTION

RQ Generate manually using a HOT.KEY at points defined by D.SLIP.FUNCTION

TEMENOS T24 User Guide Page 53 of 69

Hot Key

In Browser the 'hot key' icon can be found on the main toolbar.

Validation Rules

• Must be either OL or RQ.

• Must have input in fields D.SLIP.FORMAT and D.SLIP.FUNCTION to be effective.

D.SLIP.STYLE.SHEET Specifies a custom style sheet to use when transforming the deal slip. This field is only used when the user is printing locally (BROWSER.PREFERENCES printer location set to “LOCAL”) and automatically (VERSION deal slip trigger set to “OL”).

Validation Rules

Must be a valid XSL style sheet resident on the web server (e.g. “/transforms/custom/clientEnquiry.xsl”).

When the user clicks on the print deal slip icon (Hot key), a request is sent to the server. If the trigger is set to OL in the VERSION record, then this icon will be disabled.

Figure 57 - Hot key, local printing

When the trigger is set to RQ, then the deal slip print icon will be available at all times within this version record. When the deal slip print icon is selected, a request will be sent to the server to generate a report. The function passed down to the server is always I.

The report will then be returned along with a print screen for printing to the local printer. This will be similar for Hot keys.

Hot key, printing at server For Hot key, printing at server, the user would change the print location field in the users BROWSER.PREFERENCES record to SERVER.

The VERSION record would stay the same as above.

At present, hot key, printing at the server only works for the function I – so set the field D.SLIP.FUNCTION to I.

On clicking the deal slip-printing icon, a request will be sent to the server to generate a report. A confirmation of the report generation will then be sent back to the user and displayed in a new window.

Custom Printing Custom Printing takes advantage of the custom style sheet and custom java script functionality.

The custom style sheet functionality enables the user to specify the name of a style sheet to use to transform the XML response from the server. The name of the style sheet is set up in the java script document custom.js.

Custom.js enables the user to write their own java script functions. These functions can then be linked to buttons via the application BROWSER.TOOLS, which in turn can be added to a BROWSER.TOOLBAR record.

Custom Style Sheets The client has the ability to design their own custom style sheets. These will be used to transform specific resultant XML documents. Proprietary style sheets should be placed in the following XSL directory on the web server:

• transforms/custom/test.xsl

The reference to this style sheet would then be set in the java script document, custom.js.

TEMENOS T24 User Guide Page 62 of 69

Page 63: Browser Navigation

Browser Navigation

CUSTOM JAVA SCRIPT – custom.js At present custom.js contains two main functions:

• RunEnquiryRequest

o Used to retrieve enquiry information

• runContractRequest

o Used to retrieve contract information

Enquiries runEnquiryRequest enables the user to assign the name of an XSL document to be used to transform the resultant enquiry request.

Figure 59 - The function runEnquiryRequest()

The above function can be implemented through a BROWSER.TOOLS record, which will be added to the existing BROWSER.TOOLBAR for the existing enquiry selection screen. This will be done via the concept of annexed toolbars.

Annexed toolbars are a way of adding tools to an existing core toolbar without actually modifying the core toolbar. For example, the core BROWSER.TOOLBAR record for the enquiry selection screen is called ENQUIRY.SELECTION. In order to add a new tool to this toolbar the user would create a new BROWSER.TOOLBAR record called U.ENQUIRY.SELECTION – the ENQUIRY.SELECTION annex. The Browser Tool will then be added to the annexed toolbar. This will prevent the core record from being overwritten whenever a new release of the ENQUIRY.SELECTION record is made.

The addition of the new button to the annexed toolbar will result in the addition of the new print option to the core toolbar.

Figure 61 - Enquiry Selection Screen with new print button

The function, runEnquiryRequest () has been set up to allow the user to add the name of the proprietary style sheet to use in the transformation of the response. The function then runs a request to retrieve the enquiry data.

Summary For Enquiries

• BROWSER.TOOLS

o Create a new record for a button.

• BROWSER.TOOLBAR – U.ENQUIRY.SELECTION

o Add the new BROWSER.TOOLS record to the BROWSER.TOOLBAR annex for the core record, ENQUIRY.SELECTION.

o This will add a new button to the main toolbar.

• custom.js

o All the user has to do is change the name of the style sheet parameter in the function runEnquiryRequest():

window.document.appreq.ClientStyleSheet.value="/transforms/custom/custom.xsl";

• If another special print button is required, then a new BROWSER.TOOLS record should be created and added to the U.ENQUIRY.SELECTION record.

• A new java script function should then be added to the custom.js document:

o This would be a clone of the initial JavaScript function, with two differences:

The function would have a different name.

The style sheet name would be set accordingly.

• This new function would then need to be referenced In the new BROWSER.TOOLS record, in place of the function runEnquiryRequest ().

Contracts RunContractRequest enables the user to assign the name of an XSL document to be used to transform the resultant contract information received from the server.

Figure 62 - runContractRequest

The user enters the name of the style sheet to be used in the transform, via this function. This will result in the contract response being transformed by the XSL document specified.

The user can take advantage of this functionality by generating a new BROWSER.TOOLS button .

Figure 63 - BROWSER.TOOLS example of special printing button

The button would then be added to the annexed BROWSER.TOOLBAR record for the contract screen.

The annexed toolbars are a way of adding tools to an existing core toolbar without actually modifying the core toolbar. For example, the core BROWSER.TOOLBAR record for deals is called CONTRACT. In order to add a new tool to this toolbar, the user would create a new BROWSER.TOOLBAR record called U.CONTRACT – the CONTRACT annex. This will prevent the record being overwritten whenever a new release of the CONTRACT record is released.

All the user needs to do is change the name of the XSL reference in the function, runContractRequest():

Summary For Contracts

• BROWSER.TOOLS

o Create a new record for a button.

• BROWSER.TOOLBAR – U.CONTRACT

o Add the new BROWSER.TOOLS record to the BROWSER.TOOLBAR annex for the core record, CONTRACT

• custom.js

o All the user has to do is change the name of the style sheet parameter in the function runContractRequest():

window.document.appreq.ClientStyleSheet.value="/transforms/custom/custom.xs

l";

• If another special print button is required, then a new BROWSER.TOOLS record should be created and added to the U.CONTRACT record.

• A new java script function should then be added to the custom.js document:

o This would be a clone of the initial JavaScript function, with two differences:

The function would have a different name.

The style sheet name would be set accordingly.

• This new function would then need to be referenced In the new BROWSER.TOOLS record, in place of the function runContractRequest().
