I have recently been tasked with investigating what options are available for us to handle SWIFT messages using IBM products.

Having read a number of postings on this forum which refer to problems handling SWIFT messages, I am still not sure what's the approach being taken by other users i.e.

Do you have to manually create your own message sets in MRM for the corresponding SWIFT MTxxx types?

Are their off-the-shelf SWIFT libraries available that can be imported?

I have seen references to Crossworld Adapters for SWIFT..what do they do?

I have seen NEON mentioned a couple of times on this forum in relation to SWIFT...under what circumstances would I use NEON instead of MRM.


I would really appreciate it if someone could draw the big picture about how to deal with SWIFT transformations using MQSI (or other IBM products) or point me in the appropriate direction in terms of other websites/manuals/adapters etc..

Kind Regards,
Ash

Hi,

there is a service offering available for WMQI 2.1 CSD03+
which will give you the pre-defined MRM definitions
for most SWIFT message types.

Unfortunately it's not free und you pay separately
for it. If you have a lot of SWIFT message transformations
to do this may be huge time saver for you and may
well be worth the extra money.

Have a look at

We looked at both the WBI Swift adapter and doing it with WMQI and because our project only required one Swift message layout at the time we decided to go with the WMQI Tag Delimited Message Definition. This was less complex for the simple case we had, though both the Service offering and the WBI Adapter would probably save time for a larger SWIFT user.

The WBI adapters basically are Java applications which have their own methods of describing a message layout and their own tooling. It parses the SWIFT MQ message and creates XML messages in a format defined by its business objects. There are predefined layouts for most if not all the SWIFT layouts. The business objects are held within a repository (file system folder) which contains XML files which define the SWIFT message layout to the adapter. It is highly configuration driven and does take some effort to set up but once up and running I had few problems with it.


Cheers,
Grant
