Basic Maintenance for File Exchange

A message is routed to the specific SWIFT connector, bulker, folder or queue if they meet certain user-defined criteria.

Routing Rules are defined for each module. Using these routing rules, the messages are sent to the mapped destinations.

To achieve this, the following maintenance are introduced:

  • Rule Definition - To define rules and respective definitions
  • Rule Group - To map modules to different groups
  • Rule Priority - To prioritize rules
Below listed key maintenances are referred for File exchange processing:
  • Distinguished Name Definition (MSDDSTNM)
    • The Distinguished Name (DN) serves to uniquely identify any entity that sends or receives messages over SWIFTNet.
    • Distinguished name follow an X.500-compliant naming convention. Refer the SWIFTNet Naming and Address Guide from SWIFT for more details.
  • SWIFTNet Service Definition (MSDSWTSR)
    • This screen is used to capture SWIFTNet service details.
    • SWIFT Net service should be a valid SWIFT Net service to which the bank has registered to send the message.
    • When the message is sent through the File Act, the service name attribute is sent with the envelope.
    • This service name defined from this screen gets listed in the protocol parameters to choose the service name, which is used for constructing the envelope to send to SWIFT Net.
  • Protocol Parameter Definition (MSDPTPRM)
    • This screen is used to capture protocol parameters for FTA protocol used to connect to SWIFT Net. These are additional SWIFTNet connectivity attributes, which are required for SWIFTNet file transfer and communication with SWIFT Network.
  • Rule Definition (MSDRLDFN)
    • The Rule Definition screen is provided in EMS module to capture the Rule details.
  • Rule Group Definition (MSDRLGRP)
    • Rule Group Definition screen is provided to capture the Rule group details. A logical grouping of the routing rules can be done using this group name.
    • Populate Rules button populates all the routing rules defined which can be moved or swapped.
    • On click of ‘populate rules’ all the rules marked for the group are listed and priority of which can be changed.
    • From the populated list select a rule priority for swapping and enter another priority visible on search result in Move to/Swap to field to swap the selected rule priority with the priority entered.
    • From the populated list select a priority for moving and enter another priority visible on search result in Move to/Swap to field to move the selected rule priority with the priority entered.
  • Rule Group Mapping (MSDRLMAP)
    • Modules can be mapped to the rule groups defined.
    • In case a rule group is mapped to the module then all the rules from rule group are executed and the destination is derived.
    • If there is no rule group mapping for the module then the normal EMS flow should get executed.
