This document provides an overview of the T24 architecture at Libyan Qatari Bank. It describes the key components including the T24 Browser, T24 Application Server, TAFC, and databases. The architecture is designed for scale and uses standard technologies like Java, XML, and SQL. It allows for multi-channel access to banking services via a web-based interface.

Database Layer is to define different types of DB that can be used with
T24.
Stores the actual T24 data in form of tables.
Database layer is part of T24 Application Server in case the DB is
TAFC.
TAFC uses drivers to communicate with Database (Oracle, DB2, SQL).

SQL Server 2005 T24 Browser T24 Browser
T24 Browser is a thin client browser based interface into the T24 application.
No business logic or data is held locally on the client computer.
All requests from the T24 Browser to T24 are message based.
Between the browser and the Web Server, these messages are in HTML format, but are translated into XML at the Web Server by the T24 Browser Servlet for the rest of their journey into T24.
Communication between the Browser and T24 is stateless in that any
request or transaction from the T24 Browser is completely independent of the last or subsequent requests or transactions.
Works with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox Mozilla.

DB TAFC
TAFC TAFC
TAFC is an application development and database management
system.
TAFC uses the ‘C’ compiler to compile programs.
TAFC is an open database and can communicate with external
database like Oracle, DB2 etc with help of drivers.
TAFC uses jEDI (jBASE External Database Interface) to
communicate with other Databases.
T24 Application uses TAFC runtime to execute the package.

Operating System
Hardware TAFC Overview
Can be viewed as tool set
Used to construct T24 into standard ‘C’ code
C code compiled using standard compilers into
Native System Executables
Native System DLLs
Execution handled as any other standard Windows/Unix executable and
set of dynamic linked or shared libraries
Can be viewed as a Database
jBASE Hash Files and tools TAFC Hash Files
Provide very fast data access using hashing algorithms to balance and locate data
Hash files are implemented on top of the native file system.
jBASE Hash files consist of a structure of primary groups/buckets
located at specific offsets in the file dependent upon the frame/bucket size for the file type. J4 use 4096 bytes frame size.
jBASE Hash J4 files on some platforms can utilize OS memory
mapping functionality or alternatively can also be configured for use over networked file systems using the standard OS read and write API Hash File Maintenance
Tools for Hash file maintenance and modification
jstat Provides statistical information about file
Jrf Tool to resize file jcheck Tool to verify structure of file jbackup Database file backup jrestore Database file restore jchmod Tool to modify file properties LOG - Log updates to transaction journal TRANS - Include updates as part of transaction BACKUP - Include as part of jbackup process NETWORK - Network file use read/write API
All above tools have a help option (-h) to display available
options TAFC Locks
TAFC provides advisory locking capabilities for records independent of
the underlying database
Record locks Locks taken on physical records in a hash file Usually as a result of an advisory lock statement (READU)
Binary locks Internal to jBASE Taken when the system needs to lock a resource For example when updating a file group (Hash files only) Or updating journaling logs TAFC Profile Tools
jdiag -dvL Provides snapshot of current environment/configuration
WHERE (V Provides verbose output about executing processes
jprof Online profiling tool to determine process profile
JDIAG Environment variable to provide low level information jEDI (jBASE External Database Interface) Architecture.
To provide a minimum service to the customers, incase
communication between Data Center and the Branch is interrupted Branch Resilience
T24 BR Module
Concept of storing a copy of some amount of data at the branch level
as well as Central Server.
BR module allows maintenance of a backup system at branch level.
Not possible to run full branch service.
Used to give basic but important service to customers.
Used to re-establish data when the connection to the main server is
back-up.
Currently only TELLER, TELLER.ID & PASSWORD.RESET is
supported.
System is said to be “OFFLINE” if not connected to central server.
