Systems and methods for managing access to segments of payment networks

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for managing access to segments of payment networks, where the segments are related to transaction data of the payment networks and/or functions associated with the payment networks. In response to a request for access to segments of a payment network, the payment network schedules workflows for each of the segments to satisfy access conditions associated with the segments. For each workflow, an operation is initiated from a sequence of operations to begin satisfying the access conditions. When an operation fails, the workflow is halted. And, after a predetermined event, and prior to initiation of a next operation in the sequence, the failed operation is re-initiated thereby restarting the workflow at the failed operation instead of restarting the entire workflow. The user is then permitted access to the segments when each operation in the sequence is completed.
