The FTM SWIFT Relationship Management (RM) transfer service is the interface
between the RM data store (RMDS) and the MSIF transfer service. It
handles the following types of RMA messages:
RMA authorisations
RMA revocations
RMA rejections
RMA queries
RMA answers
RMA synchronization requests
The RM transfer service:
Sends RMA messages to correspondents
Actions in the RMA trigger changes in the RMDS. For example, if
an RMA manager revokes an authorisation, this triggers a change to
the status of the corresponding entry in the RMDS. The RM transfer
service continually monitors the RMDS. If a change in the RMDS requires
that an RMA message is sent to a correspondent, the RM transfer service:
Creates the RMA message
Passes the RMA message to the MSIF transfer service, which sends
it to the correspondent
Updates the RMDS
Processes the responses and delivery notifications that it receives
from the MSIF transfer service regarding the sent RMA message
Processes RMA messages that were received from correspondents
The message-receive option set used for RMA messages specifies
the interface queue instance.DNFSYSOU.DNF_L_TR as its application
notification queue. This interface queue is associated with the input
queue prefix.DNF_L_TR. The RM transfer service continually
monitors this queue. When the MSIF transfer service puts an RMA message
into the interface queue:
The RM transfer service parses the RMA message.
If the RMA message is an authorisation or revocation that is not
acceptable, the RM transfer service creates an RMA rejection and sends
it to the correspondent.
Synchronizes RMA data between multiple FTM SWIFT instances
If setup, RMA authorisations which get a new final change state,
trigger the synchronization processing. For RMA data synchronization
you may define multiple FTM SWIFT instances:
One or more master instances. A master instance sends out
synchronization requests as soon as an RMA authorization gets a new
final change status. There is always one single active master instance,
but you may configure multiple to be able to switch to them if the
active one fails.
One or more remote instances. Remote instances receive
the synchronization requests and update their RMA data accordingly.
Usually all participating FTM SWIFT instances
will be setup as remote instances. An instance can
be both, master and remote instance.
A synchronization request is issued when an RMA authorization
is finally created, deleted, rejected or revoked. RMA queries and
answers do not initiate a synchronization.
