SWIFT Data Protocol

The SWIFT data protocol performs the following actions:

• Converts a SWIFT message to an XML representation
• Converts the XML representation of a SWIFT message back to its native format

For example, the data protocol converts the following SWIFT messages:

{1:F01BANKDEFMAXXX2039063581}{2:O1031609050901BANKDEFXAXXX89549829458949811609N}{3:{108:00750532785315}}{4:

:16R:GENL

:20C::SEME//YOUR REFERENCE

:16S:GENL

:16R:SETDET

:22F::SETR//TRAD

:16R:SETPRTY

:97A::SAFE//YYYY

:16S:SETPRTY

:16S:SETDET

-}

to the following XML:

<message>
<block1>
   <applicationId>F</applicationId><serviceId>01</serviceId>
   <logicalTerminal>BANKDEFMAXXX</logicalTerminal>
   <sessionNumber>2039</sessionNumber>
   <sequenceNumber>063581</sequenceNumber>
</block1>
<block2 type=\"output\">
   <messageType>103</messageType>
   <senderInputTime>1609</senderInputTime>
   <MIRDate>050901</MIRDate>
   <MIRLogicalTerminal>BANKDEFXAXXX</MIRLogicalTerminal>
   <MIRSessionNumber>8954</MIRSessionNumber>
   <MIRSequenceNumber>982945</MIRSequenceNumber>
   <receiverOutputDate>894981</receiverOutputDate>
   <receiverOutputTime>1609</receiverOutputTime>
   <messagePriority>N</messagePriority>
</block2>
<block3>
   <BLOCK3_108>00750532785315</BLOCK3_108>
</block3>
<block4>
   <GENL>
      <GENL_20C>:SEME//YOUR REFERENCE</GENL_20C>
   </GENL>
   <SETDET>
      <SETDET_22F>:SETR//TRAD</SETDET_22F>
      <SETPRTY>
         <SETPRTY_97A>:SAFE//YYYY</SETPRTY_97A>
      </SETPRTY>
   </SETDET>
</block4>
</message>

If some fields in the SWIFT message include a date, the data protocol reformats the date in a format that DevTest can identify as a magic date candidate.

The following example shows the fields that the data protocol checks for dates:

:98A::SETT//19911130

:98C::TRAD//20140117125901

:98E::PREP//20091107093238,02/N0230

:32A:870902JPY3520000,

:30:640123

The data protocol converts these lines to the following XML:

<BLOCK4_98A>:SETT//1991-11-30</BLOCK4_98A>

<BLOCK4_98C>:TRAD//2014-01-17 12:59:01</BLOCK4_98C>

<BLOCK4_98E>:PREP//2009-11-07T09:32:38.020-0230</BLOCK4_98E>

<BLOCK4_32A>1987-09-02 JPY3520000,</BLOCK4_32A>

<BLOCK4_30>2064-01-23</BLOCK4_30>

The service image contains the dates it represents as magic dates.
