Product Overview: MARS Watcher

MARS Watcher is a crucial component of the MARS platform focused on monitoring, orchestrating, and ensuring the reliability of ongoing data feeds and ingestion processes, particularly in "Day Forward" scenarios following a migration or application retirement.

Key Capabilities:

  • Feed Monitoring: Monitors various input sources (FTP, SFTP, LPR, LPD, NDM, MQ, network mounts, API calls, scans) for new data files, reports, documents, or images.
  • Predictive Exception Handling: Utilizes AI/ML-based mathematical prediction based on historical data patterns to anticipate potential errors or delays in expected data feeds before they occur, allowing for proactive intervention.
  • Alerting: Generates alerts for predicted or actual exceptions to standard operations.
  • Orchestration: Manages the processing workflow for incoming data, including receiving, reconciliation, splitting (using MARS Split Service), consolidation (using MARS Consolidation Service), and ingestion into target systems or archives.
  • Process Management: Includes features for document creation management, applying business rules, tracking via GUIDs, and maintaining audit trails (using MARS Audit Database).
  • Automation: Integrates via the MARS Watcher APIs to automate the orchestration of Day Forward processes and business rule application.
