Fiserv DNA job sub-type

What is it?​

The Fiserv DNA job sub-type is a job type embedded within OpCon's Enterprise Manager interface. It allows you to view, add, and edit DNA job details directly within OpCon without switching to a separate tool.

When you create a Windows job in OpCon and select Fiserv DNA as the sub-type, the job definition form displays DNA-specific fields organized across two tabs.

Job Details tab​

The Job Details tab provides fields for the DNA job's core identifying information:

  • APPL name — The name of the Fiserv DNA application (APPL) to run.
  • APPL number — The numeric identifier for the Fiserv DNA application.
  • Effective date — The processing date for the DNA job, in YYYY/MM/DD format.
  • Cycle codes — One or more Fiserv DNA processing cycle identifiers for the job (for example, EOM for end-of-month). Cycle codes correspond to the -C1 through -C99 command-line arguments.
  • Parameters — DNA job parameters passed to the job at run time. Parameters correspond to the -P1 through -P99 command-line arguments and follow the format PARAMETER_CODE|value.
