25.1 Uploading Holiday File

SWIFT provides a country-wise holiday file that can be uploaded into Oracle FLEXCUBE. For all countries where ‘EUR’ is not the local currency, the respective holidays can be uploaded into the currency holidays tables. For European countries, where ‘EUR’ is the currency, you can upload the TARGET holidays. Oracle FLEXCUBE allows you to upload these currency holidays through the ‘BIC/BICPLUS – Upload’ screen. You can invoke this screen by typing ‘ISDBICPU’ in the field at the top right corner of the Application tool bar and clicking the adjoining arrow button.

Here you need to choose the source code as ‘CCH’ from the drop-down list. For further details about this screen, refer the section titled ‘Uploading the BIC/BICPLUS files into Oracle FLEXCUBE’ in the ‘Common Core - Core Entities and Services User Manual.

The holiday file gets uploaded with two records:

• HF Record – wherein ‘EUR’ is not the local currency
• HS Record - wherein ‘EUR’ is the local currency

For more details on the file formats of these records, refer the chapter titled ‘Annexure – B – File Formats’.
