Abstract
Disclosed is a method/system for transferring test data from a supply chain to a demand chain. This process includes performing a supply side reconciliation of the test data and a demand side reconciliation of the test data upon the occurrence of a trigger event in the supply chain. Then, the invention processes this reconciled data through a business rules database to process entitled test data for correctness, and verifies that the entitled data is supplied to selective points in the demand chain.

15. A system for transferring test data from a supply chain to a demand chain, said system comprising:
-
a trigger event monitor;
a supply side reconciler in communication with said trigger event monitor, and being adapted to perform a supply side reconciliation of said test data upon the occurrence of a trigger event;
a demand side reconciler in communication with said trigger event monitor, and being adapted to perform a demand side reconciliation of said test data upon the occurrence of a trigger event; and
a rules database in communication with said supply side reconciler and said demand side reconciler, and being adapted to produce entitled test data based on said supply side reconciliation and said demand side reconciliation and to verify that the said entitled test data is supplied to selective points in said demand chain. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
