  Description
  DPAS maintains master listings of DoD DoDAACs and RICs within the DPAS FED_LOG database.  DPAS receives a daily DoDDAAC file via DAAS GEX that provides new and updates to existing DoDAACs. DPAS processes the file and updates the DoDAAC Master table. The RIC Master table is not systematically updated.  Today, the DPAS team must take action to update it periodically, thus the RIC Master table is not as current as it could be which can result in processing / validation delays.

  Recommended
  It has been determined that the RIC data is also included in the daily DODAAC file that is received via DAAS GEX.  RICs are identified within the file as a DODAAC that begin with 'ZZZ'.   For example, a record with a DoDAAC value of 'ZZZA4J' contains the data for RIC 'A4J'.  DPAS needs to develop a process to extract the RIC data from the daily DODDAAC file received via DAAS GEX, and update the RIC Master table.

  Mission Critical
  Mission Critical, Newly added ICPs are not able to transmit DLMS transactions through DAAS to external trading partners because a it does not pass the RIC validation until DPAS manually updates the RIC Master table with the RIC data.

  Benefits
  Reduces time and effort/cost  for DPAS (Analyst/DBA analysis) and for the trading Partner (business interruption/analysis).

  Users
  Newly added ICPs cannot be used until Support updates the RIC Master table with the new RIC(s).  DLMS 527Ds (PMRs/Due In) records are send RIC to RIC.  These transactions require the RIC Master table to be current in order to allow processing to occur.  As more users implement these features, it is imperative that RIC Master table is current.
