BOX for SWIFTNet
Functions
Application Integration
IBM Webshere MQ
IBM Websphere MQ (MQ) has evolved as a de facto standard for the transport layer of message exchange between back office applications and SWIFT message processing systems. BOX supports all facets of this interface such as:
- The SWIFT format
- MERVA
- MERVA FIN-Bridge (RFH2 header)
- WBI-FN (RFH2 header)
- SAA format
SOA Web Service
The BOX message Web Service provides an option to use Web Services as a transport medium to exchange messages between BOX and back office applications. In addition to the message payload and SWIFT related header data various parameters can optionally be specified in WSDL (Web Services Description Language) structured data.
File Gateway
The file gateway provides an option to simply use files as a transport medium to exchange messages between BOX and back office applications. In addition to the message payload and SWIFT related header data various parameters can optionally be specified in XML structured data.
Database Gateway
The database gateway provides an option to use database tables as a transport medium for the exchange of messages between BOX and back office applications. The layout of these tables is configurable in BOX and so can be adapted to the needs of specific applications.
Financial Message Transfer
With MERVA it is possible to transfer SWIFT messages directly between MERVA systems thus avoiding the cost which would otherwise be incurred if the messages were sent through the SWIFT network. BOX fully supports this type of Financial Message Transfer (FMT) so that no transmission cost occurs when messages are transferred between several BOX systems, or BOX and any other application supporting the FMT format.
