Healing of Transactional Records - Data Maintenance / Data Quality

Safer Payments has the capability of healing/fixing masterdata through processing (and optionally curtailing) batch feeds. However, for transactional records there doesn't seem to be a viable approach.


This would be required to provide accurate data to the investigators for any of the following scenarios:

  • incorrect data mapping (initial or updated behavior in channels)

  • bad formatting of batch feed where columns are swapped

  • data elements requiring hard adjustments

Real life examples:

  1. A payment processor is upgraded, and the amount field was noticed to have a bug where the decimal point is not present. 3.00 would be 300. It would be possible to target the message type ID and reprocess said txns by dividing by 100 and overwriting the records.

  2. A new business requirement dictates that certain transactional attributes are to be redacted post-processing of people of high profiles. It would be possible to implement the change from that point forward based on a new flag; however, there wouldn't be a viable way to apply the change on existing data.

While SP maintains a non-traditional database, such manipulation features are not built-in or made accessible to the system administrator. As it may be so by design, there is a need for it as not to resort to clearing out the entire database DDC/MDC.


Such low-level manipulation should be possible by targetting any masterdata element or at the very least the UID of the transactional records.
