5. EOD Execution & Post EOD Validation

- Execute EOD jobs, maintain an issue log, and report any aborts in real time.
- After EOD, re concile counters, analyse differences and complete pending release scope/GDI patch tests.
- Export, download, compare and report on TDZ12, MT940 and other end of day data outputs.
