Abstract:
1. A method for coordinating the generation of a plurality of electronic transactions from settlement data associated with previously decisioned transaction data originally captured by distributed client computer systems, the method comprising the steps of: identifying a first portion of the settlement data associated with a first node of the distributed client computer systems and a second portion of the settlement data as associated with a second node of the distributed client computer systems; providing a hierarchical data access relationship of a hierarchy between the first node in a first hierarchy level of the hierarchy and the second node in a second hierarchy level of the hierarchy, the first node related to the second node as a dependent node in the hierarchy, the data access relationship providing coordination of inheritance of respective decisioning criteria from the first node to the second node in a top down inheritance implementation; initiating a settlement process at the second node by collecting the second portion of the settlement data assigned to the second node; continuing the settlement process at the first node as defined by the data access relationship in a bottom up settlement implementation by collecting the first portion of the settlement data assigned to the first node; and generating the plurality of electronic transactions based on the collected settlement data including the first portion and the second portion and sending to at least one member system the plurality of electronic transactions for facilitating processing of the plurality of electronic transactions.
