7.1 Incoming Messages
This topic provides an overview of the Incoming messages.
Background Processing of Incoming Messages
All incoming messages that are intended for the bank will be handled based on the MCS specifications that are maintained for the branch. An incoming messages can be received in the ASCII format from an MCS, and manually direct them to the appropriate queues, or indicate that the background process should automatically pickup incoming messages from an MCS and transfer them to the appropriate queues.
To process incoming messages for the branch in the background, the messages will be routed to the relevant queues as and when they come in without manual intervention.
Configure the background process to begin when the Beginning of Day process is run or process it at any time in the day. This screen (Job Browser/Job Monitor screen) can also be used to check whether the background process is running for outgoing and incoming messages.
Messages that are transmitted by mail will have to be handled manually. Messages transmitted through media like Telex and SWIFT will be automatically routed to the relevant queues. A unique reference number (DCN) is assigned to each incoming message. Incoming messages, which have an error, will be moved to the error queue.
Manual Processing of Incoming Messages
Process incoming messages manually if the background message process is not running to route messages that cannot be routed to a user queue automatically.
If the background process is not running, the messages that have come in to the bank will be stored in the incoming directory located on the node at which the database of the branch is installed. This directory is specified in the Message Media Control Maintenance screen. On processing the Incoming Message Browser, upload all the messages from the directory on the node. All the incoming messages will be displayed in the incoming browser.
