BEA SWIFT Adapter manual Creating a Swift Format

Page 9

This detail is generally not important; but if you are manually editing the version (in say messages you already have) in XML’s remember to update the standard-version tag appropriately.

The advantage of the above is that you have the same message library support for your customized SWIFT messages just like standard SWIFT messages.

Creating a SWIFT Format

A SWIFT message format can be created in the designer either from

Existing SWIFT message format, or

Empty message format

When using an existing format, the same set of sequences and fields are available for the newly created format. Though the mandatory elements cannot be changed, the user has the option of enabling or disabling the optional sequences and fields as per requirement. The existing SWIFT formats are available as XML files in the location <installation dir>\config\swift\format.

When using an empty message format, the user has to add each sequence and field as per the specification. This happens when the format has to be entered the first time, after which the format can be saved and used to build other formats using the first option.
