Update Operation

The BICDirService feature allows multiple simultaneous objects to access its methods with near-local object response times.

The SWIFT standards are not always sufficiently complete to enable STP. Currently a message can pass network validation but fail at the receiving end because of incompatible definitions or codes, or missing data. The result is expense to manually repair or follow up on these messages and possible retransmission of the message.

The SWIFT OTD Library’s BICDirService ensures that valid, up-to-date BIC, country, and currency codes are present in eGate-processed messages. This feature increases the likelihood that a given message can flow “straight through”.

You must update the BICDirService information before running components that utilize this feature.

To update BIC information:

1. Go to the bic.jar file in the Enterprise Designer’s Project Explorer. The file is located under Sun SeeBeyond > OTD Library > Swift.

2. Right-click the bic.jar icon.

3. Select the Update BIC Files option from the shortcut menu.

4. In the resulting Open dialog box, navigate to the location of the CU.dat file on the SWIFT update CD-ROM.

5. Select the file and upload it.

6. Select Update BIC Files again.

7. Navigate to the location of the FI.dat file.

8. Select the file and upload it.

This procedure updates the BICDirService feature.
