Working Copyof Source Data

(WSOR)

Original SOR Data {OSOR} - Maintains source format & values as acquired. Used for reference.

Working Storage of SOR Data {WSOR} - Copy of SOR data which is modified as needed. This is where all of the global, non-application specific processing is done. Those things which can be done once and apply to every subsequent application of the data.

Application Specific Working Storage {WSAF} – A working storage area specifically designed for a given application of the data. A subset of the WSOR data can be copied here where processing specific to a particular application can be applied.

Using our recommended data flow, you will realize efficiencies by minimizing the number of times youtouch each transaction.
