Front-end validation of data files requiring processing by multiple computing systems

Abstract:

A system, method and the like for front-end comprehensive validation of data files that require processing by multiple different computing systems having different validation requirements. Validation for all of the multiple different computing systems is performed upon receipt of the data file by the data processing entity and, as such, in the event that validation results in an error/failure, the originator/sender of the data file can be notified of the error failure proximate in time to when the data file is transmitted to the data processing entity and can re-submit a valid data file in due time. In addition, the present invention is configured to insure that the validation meets the current requirements of all the computing systems that process the data file by employing a centralized data file validation requirements database that stores validation requirements for each of the computing systems.
