SWIFT and SWIFTNet Business Processes
To help you accomplish your business goals, the Sterling B2B Integrator provides two predefined enveloping business processes, which are used by the Sterling B2B Integrator to implement SWIFT and SWIFTNet processing: SWIFTEnvelope and SWIFTDeenvelope. These predefined business processes are initiated by other processes/services during SWIFT processing and do not require you to modify them.
Sterling B2B Integrator also provides predefined business processes, which are used by the Sterling B2B Integrator to implement SWIFT transport, including the SWIFTNetClient business process (using for InterAct transport), and the SWIFTNet ClientFA (used for FileAct transport) business process. These predefined business processes are initiated by other processes/services during SWIFT processing but do require you to modify them.
The following table lists business goals for some of the predefined SWIFT business processes (please note that this is not an inclusive list of all predefined business process):
| Business Process For SWIFTNet Version 6.x | Corresponding Business Process for SWIFTNet7 (if applicable) | Business Goals |
|---|---|---|
| SWIFTDeenvelope | SWIFTDeenvelope | Extracts SWIFT message types from a message and translates and processes them, according to the content of the envelopes. |
| SWIFTEnvelope | SWIFTEnvelope | Applies a SWIFT envelope to one or more SWIFT message types and then uses the envelope data to translate and process them. |
| SWIFTNetClient | SWIFTNet7Client | Used for InterAct processing. Contains the necessary parameters so the SWIFTNet Client or SWIFTNet7 Client service can prepare the request and send it (outbound) to the SWIFTNet MEFG Server. The client application on the SWIFTNet MEFG Server processes this request, performs the necessary communication exchange with the SWIFTNet SAG/SNL instance, and sends the request to the SWIFTNet Network. |
| SWIFTNetClientFA | SWIFTNet7Client | Used for FileAct processing. Contains the necessary parameters so the SWIFTNet Client or SWIFTNet7 Client service can prepare the request and send it (outbound) to the SWIFTNet MEFG Server. The client application on the SWIFTNet MEFG Server processes this request, performs the necessary communication exchange with the SWIFTNet SAG/SNL instance, and sends the request to the SWIFTNet Network. |
| handleSWIFTNetServerRequest | handleSWIFTNet7InterActRequest | Used for InterAct processing. Enables the Sterling B2B Integrator to receive SWIFTNet messages. This is the bootstrap business process used by the inbound SWIFTNet request through the SWIFTNet MEFG Server. It is a system business process used by the SWIFTNet Server Adapter, which pre-processes the incoming request, searches the SWIFTNet Routing Rule table, and routes the request payload to the business process for processing. |
| handleSWIFTNetServerSnFRequest | handleSWIFTNet7InterActSnFRequest | Used for InterAct processing. Enables the Sterling B2B Integrator to receive SWIFTNet store-and-forward messages. This is a bootstrap business process used by the inbound SWIFTNet request that includes a store-and-forward option. For the store-and-forward option, an incoming request is not processed immediately, but instead is stored in the responder mailbox in the Sterling B2B Integrator to be responded to later. The Sterling B2B Integrator then sends an acknowledgement that the request has been successfully stored to the requestor through the SWIFTNet MEFG Server. |
| handleSWIFTNetServerFARequest | handleSWIFTNet7FileActRequest | Used for FileAct processing. Enables the Sterling B2B Integrator to receive SWIFTNet messages. This is the bootstrap business process used by the inbound SWIFTNet request through the SWIFTNet MEFG Server. It is a system business process used by the SWIFTNet Server Adapter, which pre-processes the incoming request, searches the SWIFTNet Routing Rule table, and routes the request payload to the business process for processing. |
| handleSWIFTNetServerFASnFRequest | handleSWIFTNet7FileActSnFRequest | Used for FileAct processing. Enables the Sterling B2B Integrator to receive SWIFTNet store-and-forward messages. This is a bootstrap business process used by the inbound SWIFTNet request that includes a store-and-forward option. For the store-and-forward option, an incoming request is not processed immediately, but instead is stored in the responder mailbox in the Sterling B2B Integrator to be responded to later. The Sterling B2B Integrator then sends an acknowledgement that the request has been successfully stored to the requestor through the SWIFTNet MEFG Server. |
| handleSWIFTNetServerFASnFEvent | handleSWIFTNet7FileActEvent | The handleSWIFTNetServerFASnFEvent or handleSWIFTNet7FileActEvent business process is used by the SWIFTNet MEFG Server. It is a system business process called by the SWIFTNet Server Adapter or SWIFTNet7 Adapter that preprocesses the incoming FileAct Event with a COMPLETED status, searches the SWIFTNet routing rule table and bootstraps the business process for processing |
| SWIFTMessageEntryOutbound | SWIFTMessageEntryOutbound | This is the default business process used to look up the correct envelope, based on information provided by the user while configuring the Send information in the SWIFT Message Entry Workstation. This business process uses the EDI Encoder service, Envelope service, and then invokes the business process specified in the SWIFT Outbound Envelope. |
