Deploy the FTM reference implementation

You can optionally deploy a subset of the FTM reference implementation. This subset includes sample data, simulators, and a sample application.

The optional components of the reference implementation are shown in the following list.
  • Sample data that can be loaded into the FTM database. This component includes sample data setup utility (DSU) workbooks for the various payment schemes.
  • IBM® App Connect Enterprise simulators for various payment schemes and use cases.
  • A sample of a basic FTM payment processing application.
To deploy the different components of the reference implementation, update the spec.config.instance.referenceImplementation structure in the custom resource. This structure has the following parameters.
achReference.enabled
Use this parameter to indicate whether you want to deploy the ACH reference implementation.
sampleData.enabled
Use this parameter to indicate whether you want to deploy the sample data.
simulators.enabled
Use this parameter to indicate whether you want to deploy any simulators.
simulators.include
Use this parameter to indicate which simulators that you want to deploy
cbprplus
Deploy the simulator for CBPR+.
euro1
Deploy the simulator for EURO1.
fedwire
Deploy the simulator for Fedwire.
internal-services
Deploy the accountancy, fraud screening, and sanction screening simulators.
nbo
Deploy the simulator for NBO.
rix
Deploy the simulator for RIX.
t2
Deploy the simulator for T2.
targetdkk
Deploy the simulator for TARGET DKK.
tch-rtp
Deploy the simulator for TCH RTP.
sampleApplications.enabled
Use this parameter to indicate whether you want to deploy the sample payment processing application.
The following example referenceImplementation custom resource structure deploys all components of the reference implementation, including the T2, accountancy, fraud screening, and sanction screening simulators.
instance:
  referenceImplementation:
    sampleData:
      enabled: true
    simulators:
      enabled: true
        include:
          - t2
          - internal-services
    sampleApplications:
      enabled: true
    achReference:
      enabled: true

Updating the simulators after FTM is deployed

The FTM operator does not update any IBM App Connect Enterprise resources after the initial deployment of the instance for your FTM offering. The operator does not replace any of the BAR files for the instance, so you can customize the simulators. The following list shows the names of the BAR files for the simulators.
Accountancy, fraud screening, and sanction screening simulators
The BAR file for these simulators is FtmIntnlSrvcsSimulator.bar.
All other simulators
See Integration runtime instances for the FTM offerings and payment schemes.
