Importing and updating ASP data

An application service profile (ASP) is a profile that specifies the properties of a SWIFTNet service. A collection of ASPs for all existing SWIFTNet services is called an ASP package.

After you install and configure your FTM SWIFT system, the ASP data tables are empty. You must import an ASP package if you want to use any of the following components:

The FTM SWIFT Relationship Management Application (RMA)
The SIPN FIN messaging services
The FMT FIN messaging services
The RMA traffic-filtering procedure (DNFCHECKRMAUTH)

To retrieve the current ASP package:

Go to the SWIFT download center at:
```
www.swift.com
```
Search for Application Service Profiles.
Download the ZIP archive that contains the ASP package. Note the corresponding security number, which is provided as an SHA-256 digest in hexadecimal and base64 format. (FTM SWIFT accepts either digest format.)
Transfer the ASP package to the file system of your host in binary format into directory /tmp. The message broker must have read permissions for the file.
Ensure that you have the access rights provided by the role DnfAspAdmin for DNFSYSOU. For example, to add this role to the user ID fred1 in instance INST1, a security administrator must issue the following command, then commit and approve the change:
```
INST1.DNFSYSOU.DNI_SECADM>add -user fred1 -ro DnfAspAdmin -ou DNFSYSOU
```
Open the CLI with the following parameters:
```
dnicli -i INST1 -ou DNFSYSOU -s DNF_L_ADM
```
Issue the importasp command to the DNF_L_ADM service. This command is described in importasp. For example, to import the ASP package ASP_P.zip from host directory /tmp with base64 digest PQtLVxkkZrzNQo6RMETsTVSX6/o/3kRTx8HTiR4h6+Q= into the ASP data tables of instance INST1:
```
INST1.DNFSYSOU.DNF_L_ADM>importasp -file ASP_P.zip -dir /tmp
                            -digest PQtLVxkkZrzNQo6RMETsTVSX6/o/3kRTx8HTiR4h6+Q=
```

SWIFT updates ASP package files regularly. To update the ASP data contained in FTM SWIFT, follow the same steps as for importing, but use the most recent ASP package.
