Issues with processing multiple FileAct messages in Store and Forward Push mode
(Seen in sample packages).
If multiple FileAct messages are pushed in the same session by SWIFTNet SnF, only the first file is successfully fetched in a single attempt. While processing subsequent pushed FileAct messages, the following behavior may be seen:
- Fetching the file may fail with the error message "The File notification message was not delivered in this session. Retrieve the message first and then send the acknowledgement again". The files are, however, fetched successfully in subsequent attempts in the same push session because SWIFTNet SnF continues to push these FileAct messages until the corresponding files are fetched and successfully acknowledged.
- The file may be fetched successfully, but the corresponding FileAct message may be pushed again even after a successful acknowledgement is sent after the file is fetched. In this case, fetching the file a second time gives an error "System internal error. Please retry later. If the problem persists please call SSIS to ensure availability".
- Even if an acknowledgement is sent for an Sw:HandleSnFRequest that is pushed by SWIFTNet SnF, sometimes the same message gets pushed again with a retry reason: "Call to server application failed". This behavior is noticed in the case of both FileAct and InterAct."
At the time of writing this document, there is an open support ticket raised by webMethods with SWIFT to investigate this issue.
For other known issues and troubleshooting information relating to webMethods SWIFTNet Module, see the Knowledge Base on the webMethods Advantage Web site.

1-163IA8 Store and Forward Mode Support for
InterAct and FileAct Services
In Store and Forward mode, the need for the Sender and Receiver to be online at
the same time, as is required for real-time messaging is removed. The messages
and files are stored centrally within SWIFTNet in a queue. These messages and
files are delivered from the queue to the receiver at a later time.
1-163IBG Improved
Installation and Configuration Experience
The installation and configuration experience has been improved:
- The setting of Integration Server environment variables and addition of SAG DLLs to the Integration Server classpath has been removed. Previously these tasks were done manually during configuration.
- A new configuration file, env.cnf, has been added in both the Client and Server modules to set the environment variables. This simplifies the initial configuration process.
1-163IC3 Improved
Documentation
In addition to providing information about the Store and Forward support and
installation and configuration instructions, the webMethods SWIFTNet Module Installation and User’s Guide has been
updated to include information about each service’s runtime process, including
diagrams of process flow. Also, documentation for the sample services in the
WmSWIFTNetClientSample package and the WmSWIFTNetServerSample package is now
included.
1-WWYJT (SWNTC_6-0-1_Fix1) Client module of webMethods
SWIFTNet Module does not support SWIFT Alliance Gateway (SAG) 5.0.
The Client module of webMethods SWIFTNet Module has been updated to support SAG
5.0. To support SAG 5.0, the WmSWIFTNetClient.dll has been recompiled and
relinked with the SAG 5.0 libraries. Additionally, the IS document types have
been regenerated using the SAG 5.0 DTDs.
1-XR4R7 (SWNTC_6-0-1_Fix1) webMethods SWIFTNet Client module issues an error message when
processing a response document.
The Client module of webMethods SWIFTNet Module was searching for an incorrect
namespace prefix for a FileAct message, which resulted in an error message
being issued. The Client module has been updated to search for the correct
FileAct message namespace prefix.
1-YKSIM (SWNTC_6-0-1_Fix2) InterAct
sample was not working with SAG 5.0 libraries.
Validation problems on the client side prevented InterAct messages from being
sent. The mapping services have been updated to correct the validation errors.
1-WWYJT (SWNTS_6-0-1_Fix1) Server module of webMethods
SWIFTNet Module does not support SWIFT Alliance Gateway (SAG) 5.0.
The Server module of webMethods SWIFTNet Module has been updated to support SAG
5.0. To support SAG 5.0, the WmSWIFTNetServer.dll has been recompiled and
relinked with the SAG 5.0 libraries. Additionally, the IS document types have
been regenerated using the SAG 5.0 DTDs.
1-XU323 (SWNTS_6-0-1_Fix1) Server module of webMethods
SWIFTNet Module does not receive inbound notifications.
Inbound notifications were not being received because the Execute ACL on
wm.swiftnet.server.services:handleRequest service was not set to 'Anonymous'.
This is now resolved.
1-Y2DL5 (SWNTS_6-0-1_Fix1) webMethods Trading
Networks did not recognize documents received by the Server module of
webMethods SWIFTNet Module.
The SWIFTNet Server TN document types included the namespace prefix in the root
tag and namespace declarations. To correct the recognition problem, the TN
document types have been updated to remove the namespace prefix from the root
tag and all namespace declarations.
1-Y2FJX (SWNTS_6-0-1_Fix1) The Server module
sample of webMethods SWIFTNet Module does not construct the incoming request
document correctly.
The sample invoked the wm.tn.doc.xml:bizDocToRecord
service to create the incoming request document. However, using this service
did not correctly create the incoming request document. To correct the problem,
the call to the wm.tn.doc.xml:bizDocToRecord service was replaced to use other
low-level services.
1-YKSM2 (SWNTS_6-0-1_Fix2) InterAct
sample was not working with SAG 5.0 libraries.
IS document type changes with new SAG 5.0 DTDs prevented the successful processing
of incoming InterAct messages in the WmSWIFTNetServerSample package. The
mapping services have been updated to correct the validation errors.
None.
