Monitor the SWIFTNet Data Flow

Edit online

About this task

The Data Flow Monitoring feature now enables you to view inbound and outbound SWIFTNet data flows. For both inbound and outbound, you can correlate and view the transformation of the selected document, and you can also see the SWIFTNet Message ID that is related to the document.

Note: Message ID is a unique identifier in SWIFTNet that is required to enable the user to discern duplicate documents—you can tell if a document is a duplicate of another document if the Message IDs of both documents are the same. The Message ID is extremely useful in enabling you to reconcile documents.

To perform an advanced search for SWIFTNet business process data flows:
