Resolving the problem

Solution

The translator error code T46 means that there is a SWIFT-related problem with the BIC codes. SWIFT requires that the sender and receiver in the FIN envelope both be in the
same mode (i.e. both are live addresses or both are test addresses) and will throw an H51 error if this is not the case.?

SWIFT also require that any BIC codes used in a live message are live addresses.?GIS enforces H51 in the Enveloping service and T46 in the translator.??

The SWIFT network would allow a mix of test BICs and live BICs within a test message but not within a live message.?
This is the condition we enforce within the translator based on the SenderID.

In order to resolve the problem please change the data so that it does not contain test BIC's or change the SenderID on the SWIFT envelope configuration so that it is also a test SenderID
