COMMON INTEGRATION ENGINE USAGE SCENARIO

A back-end nancial system such as a payment application or trading system publishes a document (payment transfer, credit transfer, check clearance, foreign exchange, and so on) to a pickup location (1). The le composition at this point could be a basic SWIFT standard message or a custom in-house implementation of a SWIFT message format for a particular message type. The message is then received from the pickup location by an adapter and passed along to the A4SWIFT pipeline for validation and conversion to XML (2). Any errors encountered during validation or conversion of the message will be passed along with the message as an error collection object. The message will be marked as A4SWIFT_ Failed=True and published to the message box (3). These failed messages can then be extracted from the message box, processed through a message repair orchestration to x errors, and republished to the message box for completion (4). The repair can be manual using InfoPath forms or automated through the use of custom .NET components. After the document has been validated against an A4SWIFT Schema, it will be picked up by the A4SWIFT Send Pipeline (5). The Send Pipeline will then forward the A4SWIFT message to the Send Adapter, which will route the document (now in SWIFT standard format) to the appropriate send location (either le share or MQSeries Queue) (6). SWIFT Gateway then processes the message for submission to the SWIFT secure IP network using the SAG/SAA network (7).
