Database : It supports following DB’s Oracle,DB2,MSSQL
Duration : July 2014 to May 2015
Description:
IBM’s B2B systems share a concept of a mailbox used for data storage and retrieval. Mailboxing is
a common mechanism for these systems to stage data of any size for storage or processing in a
structured way. However, there is no standard mailbox object that can be used as a distributed
storage mechanism between systems or clusters that span data centers.
A geographically distributed highly available (GDHA) mailbox will provide a transparent, scalable,
and highly available storage solution for systems running on distributed data centers.
GDHA Mailbox will provide/receive data to/from any enabled application at any time, residing in
any place to any partner via a shared mailboxing model.

Project Title : CREDIT CARD PAYMENT OPTION
Client : QWEST Communications U.S.A
Team Size : 10
Environment : JAVA, C++, CORBA
Position : Software engineer- testing
Operating System : Solaris 9
App Server : Weblogic 8
Web Server : Apache
Database : Oracle 10g

made using credit/debut cards, to provide searchable records of past payments to meet the
business and legal requirements for refunds and payment confirmation etc and also to provide
reports and summaries to various Qwest groups for accounting purposes.
During transaction processing first system performs data validation which includes card
number, amount, expiration date, duplicate check, csv… etc validations. Details of the
successfully validated transactions will be sent to third party vendors (Ccpo uses Billmatrix and
Paymentech as Third Party vendors to process Debit Cards and Credits Cards, respectively.) to
get approval code for transactions and same will be communicated with other applications
(front end), all the above process has been completed with in fractions of second.
System handles different types of transactions like Scheduled, Normal, Recurring, Cca
payments, and also it provides various types of reports to various Qwest business groups. After
the transaction has completed, CCPO communicates with CRIS as apayment to the customers
account.
