Configuring dynamic database packageset switching for use in processing business transactions

A carrier medium comprising program instructions, wherein the program instructions are executable by a computer system to implement a method of configuring a dynamic database packageset switching program, the method comprising:

• obtaining a database comprising processing parameter values used in processing financial transactions, wherein each processing parameter is associated with a predetermined financial transaction;
• displaying a plurality of key elements on the display screen, wherein the key elements comprise data from financial transactions;
• selecting one or more of the displayed key elements;
• creating a key definition, wherein the key definition comprises one or more of the selected key elements;
• associating one or more processing parameters with the key definition, the association process comprising:
• entering a key value for each of the key elements of the key definition in a first field of a template displayed on a display screen of a monitor coupled to an FSO computer system, wherein the combination of key values identifies the predetermined financial transaction;
• and
• associating a database identifier with the key values entered in the first field by entering the database identifier in a second field of the template displayed on the display screen, wherein the database identifier entered in the second field of the template comprises a database location of one or more processing parameters used to process the financial transaction identified by the key values entered in the first field;
• and
• storing the entered key value and the database identifier in a first memory coupled to the FSO computer system.
