6.6.1 Configuring Automatic E-File Submission

If you select to enable SDTM and have an automated submission, then E-Files are transferred automatically to the designated SDTM client directory upon creation. The SDTM client then retrieves these transferred E-Files from the designated directory and uploads them to FinCEN’s system.

Note:

If any attachments are included in the report, in that case, E-Files will not be transferred as .xml to the designated directory. It will transfer a zip file containing xml and attachments.

When Message batch is executed, it picks up all the message xmls from the configured folder to be uploaded against respective E-Files in the application.

During this message xml upload process, the Tracking ID is updated (as the BSA ID info is not present in the message xml) in case there is an error, the contents of the message xml is displayed in the Acknowledgement tab.

For more information, see Managing Batches. If the batch is successful, the message XMLs are transferred to the Archive directory.

To set up a password less connection to the remote host for SDTM file transfer, see the PublicKey Authentication section in the OFS AAI Admin Guide.

The SDTM application also retrieves acknowledgements and places them in the designated Acknowledgment directory. An Acknowledgement batch must be executed to parse the received files. Once the batch is successful, all the acknowledgements are parsed against the respective E-Files and then transferred to the Archive directory. These acknowledgements are populated in the Acknowledgment tab of OFS CRR US SAR application UI.

If you select submission mode as automatic and do not enable SDTM, you have to run the E-File batch to transfer E-Files to the designated directory.

Note:

Only system generated E-Files are considered via E-File batch.
