1.0 Service Pack Name

webMethods SWIFT FIN Module 6.0.1 Service Pack 2



2.0 Product(s) Affected

This service pack affects webMethods SWIFT FIN Module 6.0.1.



3.0 Service Pack Requirements

None.



4.0 Service Pack Contents

This service pack addresses the following issues:

1-MDEU7 (FIN_6-0-1_FIX_1)
The webMethods SWIFT FIN Module was failing when parsing SWIFT
messages on a multi-CPU machine under a heavy load. The SWIFT FIN
Module no longer fails under these conditions.

1-QFUVF (FIN_6-0-1_SP1)
The webMethods SWIFT FIN Module did not support nov03 messages.
webMethods SWIFT FIN Module 6.0.1 Service Pack 1 and Service Pack
2 provide support for nov03 messages.

1-QFUX0 (FIN_6-0-1_SP1_Fix2)
Some optional elements were missing from a number of message
templates. These elements have been added to the templates.

1-QG3H1 (FIN_6-0-1_SP1_Fix2)
Invalid data in SWIFT messages was passing Network Validation
Rules because the 'isValid' variable was being dropped. This
variable is no longer being dropped and invalid data is correctly
causing the Network Validation Rules to fail.

1-QDWNJ (FIN_6-0-1_SP1_Fix3)
The importFinItems service failed to run on Integration Server
6.1. The importFinItems service now runs successfully on both
Integration Server 6.0.1 and Integration Server 6.1.

1-QG3JY (FIN_6-0-1_SP1_Fix4)
The wm.fin.format:convertIDataToFIN service did not end the
user-to-user block with a hyphen('-') as it should. The
wm.fin.format:convertIDataToFIN service now ends the user-to-user
block with a hyphen('-').

1-PZSGH (FIN_6-0-1_SP2)
The webMethods SWIFT FIN Module did not support parsing SWIFT
messages to the subfield level. The webMethods SWIFT FIN Module
6.0.1 Service Pack 2 supports parsing SWIFT messages to the
subfield level.



5.0 Platform Support

This service pack is supported on all platforms on which
webMethods SWIFT FIN Module 6.0.1 is supported.



6.0 Installation

This Service Pack should be installed using the WebMethods
Installer. For instructions, see the "webMethods SWIFT FIN Module
Installation and User's Guide".



7.0 Cautions and Warnings

None.



8.0 Globalization

webMethods SWIFT FIN Module 6.0.1 Service Pack 2 conforms to 
the internationalization standards of webMethods and includes 
support for operation in any country, locale or language.
SWIFT uses a custom character set, which is a subset of 7-bit
ASCII (or optionally a subset of EBCDIC code page 037). This
means that no field in a SWIFT document may contain accented or
multibyte (non-ASCII) characters. The webMethods SWIFT FIN Module 
6.0.1 Service Pack 2 enforces this limit and will generate an error 
instead of sending the document to the SWIFT network. Users are 
cautioned to normalize their data to ASCII before mapping it to SWIFT
documents. This service pack has no impact on the globalization level 
of webMethods SWIFT FIN Module 6.0.1 and can be applied to systems
running in any supported locale or configuration. This fix has
no impact on your language packs or international configuration.
