Hi,

Our SWIFT support team have informed us that as they are moving from Swifth Alliance to MQ Host Adapter, there will be a change in the format of the xml (MX) messages they send to our broker flows over MQ.

The format will change to "XML v2". This has leading characters, before the xml

e.g.

The character 0x1f
The length in bytes of the xml
A number of null characters
Followed by the xml:
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><Saa:DataPDU...."

Screenshot example:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=298544&d=1394797039

I'm wondering if anyone else processing SWIFT xml with middleware encountered this request?

Our SWIFT support team have received a response from SWIFT support who insist that changing to this new format unavoidable.

It seems bizzare that an "upgrade" would change from XML to such an awkward format (we would have change our flows to parse as a BLOB)

Based on what SWIFT have told us, I would expect this to be an issue for anyone using SWIFT xml and Message Broker this year?

We're on WMB 7.0.0.6

Thanks

Tell them to stop feeding you BS. WMQ is not changing anything in the content... Maybe they need to tune their adapter...

There's no suggestion that MQ is changing the message. MQ Host Adapter is a SWIFT component.

In any case it is not an XML format. It may be some kind of format that has fixed fields in front of the XML, and maybe fields after the XML?

Have them define the fields in front of the XML and parse them with DFDL. You can then treat the whole xml as 1 character field to be reparsed by XMLNSC...

Have fun

We had a discussion with SWIFT who reiterated that this change was unavoidable. "XML v2" is SWIFT specific terminology.

We will be implementing a code change in our WMB flow to parse the "XML v2" as a BLOB, remove the leading characters and RCD to XMLNSC so that it can be processed as normal.
