The standard outbound process converts an XML transaction to a SWIFT FIN message.

In a basic message flow, outbound processing consists of the following components and steps. For an illustration of the components available in the construction of a message flow, see Using a Channel to Construct a Message Flow. You will define the components in the configuration instructions in Sample Configuration for Outbound Processing: XML to SWIFT.

Inlet

• The listener picks up the input document.

Route

The following services will be defined using iWay Service Manager:

• SWIFT XML Transform service, which is used to transform SWIFT XML to SWIFT messages.
• Validation Report service, which is used to validate SWIFT messages against SWIFT defined standards.

Using iWay Integration Tools (iIT) Designer, a process flow is created which incorporates these two services.

Outlets

Outlets define how messages leave a channel at the end of a process. In the sample outbound channel described in this chapter, a default outlet is used. All write operations are handled by the process flow.
