5. External System Maintenance

Integration of different applications and s olutions is a key area in today’s systems. A variety of specialized applications deployed on disparate platforms and using different infrastructure need to be able to communicate and integrate seamlessly with FCIS, in order to exchange data. FCIS facilitates maintenance of such integration in the following screens:

5.7.1 Maintaining Media Control System

The messages that are sent from and delivered to your bank are transmitted and received over sources that are external to FCIS. We shall call these external sources Media Control Systems (MCS).

In a distributed environment, the database of a branch is located in a node or server. The MCS of the messages are also installed in a node. Thus, while defining an MCS, you also need to indicate the node in which it is installed.

An MCS can handle only one media, hence you need to set up several media control systems for the various media types maintained for your bank. Apart from indicating the media type for an MCS, you can also indicate separate directories from which FCIS should read and write incoming and outgoing messages, for a given media.

You can invoke ‘Media Control System Maintenance’ screen by typing ‘UTDMCS’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking on the adjoining arrow button.

You can maintain the following parameters here:

Node

• Passive – Select if you do not want to direct any message to through MCS. If the status of MCS is passive, then FCIS will not write into or read from the directories on the node.

Delivery Type

Mandatory

Select a valid type of delivery from the options. The following options are available for selection:

• Folder – If you select this option, you must specify the ‘In Directory’ and ‘Out Directory’ for Windows Server. Further, after selecting this option, if you check the option ‘Unix Swift Server’ for a UNIX SWIFT server, then you must specify the ‘Unix In-Directory’ and the ‘Unix Out-Directory’.
