Introduction
Temenos contract-based financial applications can generate SWIFT MT103/202 payment messages.
Temenos strategic business modules generate Payment Orders and Temenos Payment solution decides
the payment channel and the format of the messages that must be exchanged. Temenos legacy modules
(for example, LD) which do not have the capability to generate payment orders will not be enhanced to
provide this feature.

Temenos contract-based financial applications are designed to generate MT900/910 (debit and credit
advice) messages. Some of these applications can also send MT210 (notice to receive) messages to their
counterparties.

The Delivery MX Translation module enables banks to send ‘like for like’ (the tags populated in the

kcabdeeF
ISO20022 outward messages are populated based on the fields supplied in the outward MT messages)
ISO20022 CBPR compliant camt.054 and camt.057 messages to their counterparties based on the
MT210/900/910 messages generated by the business modules. The Delivery MX Translation module also
enables banks to generate Payment Order based on the MT103/202 messages generated by legacy
modules like Loan and Deposit (LD) module.

Transact clients who are in releases prior to R22 AMR can implement a standalone Temenos Payments
platform to process the ISO20022 SWIFT payments. Delivery MX Translation module, installed as part of
standalone Temenos Payments platform, receives the MT103/202 generated by Transact business
modules and transforms them to payment order. Temenos Payments executes the payment orders and
generates the final ISO20022 message. Temenos Transact business modules that generate the
MT210/900/910 messages can run in the same platform with Temenos Payments or can be implemented
on a different platform (possibly on a lower release).

IZCAMT module is a Temenos strategic module that produces customer statements and account
reporting messages. It offers ‘out of the box’ pre-configured enriched events and provides the flexibility
to further customise and enrich the content of the transaction details. Delivery MX Translation module,
available as part of Standalone Payments platform, generates ‘like for like’ ISO20022 statement and
account report messages based on the MT940/950/941/942 messages generated from Temenos Transact.

NOTE:
If the Temenos Transact business modules and Temenos Payments are deployed on different
platforms, the Delivery module must run on both platforms. In the Temenos Transact the Delivery
module is used to generate SWIFT MT messages (SWIFT formatting) and on the Temenos Payment
platform the Delivery module is used to generate the ISO20022 messages.

The SWIFTXML Delivery Carrier is released as part of Delivery (DE) module to be used for SWIFT MT
messages that must be translated to ISO20022 standards. Though the SWIFTXML Delivery Carrier uses
the SWIFT formatting module to generate MT messages, it has a dedicated interface which emits an
extended MT message into a queue. The extended MT message includes the main details from the
delivery message header along with the MT message.

Product Configuration
This section covers the setup required by the Delivery MX Translation module.

 SWIFTXML Delivery Carrier


The Delivery module uses the SWIFT Delivery Carrier and SWIFT Formatting modules to generate MT
messages. For the MT messages which must be translated to ISO20022, the bank must use a
different Delivery Carrier. The SWIFTXML Delivery Carrier has been released for this purpose.

The setup of the SWIFTXML [Link] indicates:

The Format Module is SWIFT.


A dedicated [Link] is assigned to this Delivery Carrier (referred by the Interface field
in [Link]) which emits messages through the Integration Framework and generates

[Link] 2/6
12/01/2023 15:33 Introduction

messages in the Temenos Extended MT format (the message includes the MT message along
with the main details of the delivery header).

The Ack Required field is set to No in the [Link] application.

The [Link] application decides the delivery preferences for the delivery messages. The
default setup for the MT messages is to generate them using the SWIFT Delivery Carrier ( the
Carrier Address No field in [Link] is set to SWIFT.1).  Implementations must change this
setup to refer the SWIFTXML Delivery Carrier addresses when they want the MT messages to be
translated to ISO20022 CBPR+ standards.

NOTE:
Implementations can set up local Delivery Carriers if they need to route the translated ISO20022
messages to other channels than CBPRPLUS.

 SWIFTXML Service
For each [Link] which has the Format Module field set to SWIFT, the bank must run its
dedicated service – the naming convention is <<[Link]>.OUT.

NOTE:
The bank must set up the [Link] [Link] and its [Link] BATCH on the
platform where the business applications which are generating the MT messages are
implemented. If Temenos Transact and TPH are running on different platforms, the records must
be created in Temenos Transact.

12/01/2023 15:33 Introduction

The bank must run the [Link] and [Link] services to generate the messages
in the extended MT format.

 Extended MT Messages – Integration Framework Queue Parameterisation


The integration queue where the SWIFTXMLINT [Link] emits the extended MT message to
the Delivery Translation layer must be defined in the [Link]
application:

Event type destination: Outwardmessageservice-mtmessageflow


Event destination: queue/t24MtMessageQueue

 Delivery MX Translation Parameterisation


The name of the Delivery MX Translation component is DEMXTR_MTMXOutward-[Link],
which must be deployed in the Temenos\jboss\standalone\deployments path. The technical
characteristics for the Delivery MX Translation processing are defined in the DEMXTR_MTMXOutward
property file. For example, the queue mechanism connectivity, ip, max connections and number of
concurrent consumers.

The Delivery MX Translation layer processes the extended MT messages based on the setup in
the DEMXTR_MTMXOutward_QueueConfig property file. The file describes the various queues through
which the messages are moved during processing and the routing rules based on which the Delivery
MX Translation layer determines the processing rule and the processing characteristics.

NOTE:
The transformations which are applied to the outward messages are located in the folder
identified by the XSLT_ROOT_DIR variable.

The configurations defined in this file are described below:

RouteChannel attribute – Indicates the internal processing of the message is done using queues
(ActiveMq) or folders. The values are ACTIVEMQ or FILESYSTEM; however, FILESYSTEM is used for
Temenos internal purposes.
DEMXTRHandoffQueue attribute – Defines the queue where the MT messages generated by the
business applications are emitted through the Delivery module in the extended MT format.
Delivery MX Translation picks the messages from this queue and starts the processing, applying
the [Link] to transform the message into MTXML format.

[Link] 4/6
12/01/2023 15:33 Introduction

MtXmlTransPostQueue attribute – Indicates the queue where DEMXTR places the message if the
transformation into MTXML format is successful. This message is evaluated using the routing
rules to decide the target processing.

transformationFailQueue attribute – Indicates the queue where DEMXTR places the message in
the Extended MT format, if the transformation to MTXML format fails.

DefaultQueue attribute – Indicates the queue where DEMXTR places the MTXML format, if no
routing rule is matched and no processing rule is found.
T24DeliveryQueue attribute – Identifies the queue where DEMXTR sends the messages to the
target application in the target application format (the Delivery Request Listener application
installed on the same platform with TPH). The messages are processed using XMLOFS
[Link].

extTransFailQueue attribute – Specifies the queue where DEMXTR places the message if
transformation to the target application format fails. The message is in MTXML format.

DLQError attribute – Specifies the folder where DEMXTR places the message if the queues
become unavailable during processing.

The routing rules which are used to determine the processing rules are defined in the following
manner:

MessageType-ServiceIdentifier-Application-SenderBic-SourceCarrier=Channel

The ‘*’ can be used as a wildcard character to indicate any value. For example, considering the
following setup:

900-*-*-*-SWIFTXML=ROUTECBPR
910-*-*-*-SWIFTXML=ROUTECBPR
210-*-*-*-SWIFTXML=ROUTECBPR
103-*-*-*-*=103ROUTE
202-*-*-*-*=202ROUTE

According to this setup, the MT210, 900, 910 messages are processed based on the characteristics
defined for the ROUTECBPR channel, irrespective of the service identifier, application generating
them, sender BIC or source carrier.

The processing characteristics for the target channel are defined as <Channel>>-attributeName. The
following attributes are supported:

SystemId attribute — Identifies the target module to which the message is routed.
Carrier attribute — Specifies the carrier which is to be used if the message is sent to the
Delivery module.

12/01/2023 15:33 Introduction

Xslt attribute — Specifies the name of the XSLT that is applied to the MTXML message before
sending the message to the target module.
Company attribute — Specifies the company to which the message is re-routed (in an
implementation which involves Temenos Transact and standalone TPH, the companies in
Temenos Transact could be different from those defined in Standalone  TPH). If this is blank, the
target company for the ISO20022 message is the same as the source company of the MT
message.
POProduct — Used for MT103/202 routing and indicates the Payment Order product.

For example, the following setup indicates the processing attributes for the ROUTECBRP channel:

ROUTECBPR-SystemId=DE
ROUTECBPR-Carrier=CBPRPLUS
ROUTECBPR-Xslt=[Link]
ROUTECBPR-Company=

According to this setup, the Delivery MX Translation module applies the


[Link] transformation to the MTXML message processed through the
ROUTECBPR channel, set the target Delivery Carrier to CBPRPLUS and then routes the message to the
Delivery module (identified by SystemId attribute).

NOTES:
The target company where the MTXML message is processed is the same as company for
the source MT message (Company is blank).
The properties file can be amended to suit the implementations. However, the attributes
must not be removed. The implementation can remove the value defined for the respective
attribute rather than remove or comment the attribute itself.

Common questions

The Delivery MX Translation module uses routing rules that combine message-related attributes to dictate the processing paths. These rules are defined in a format that considers attributes like message type, service identifier, sender BIC, and source carrier. The rules include defaults that route messages like MT210, 900, and 910 through the ROUTECBPR channel. Processing rules for each channel are further customized with attributes such as SystemId for the target module, Carrier for the delivery carrier, and XSLT for message transformations . The use of wildcards allows for flexible rule application, ensuring appropriate routing and processing without excessive specificity .

The Temenos Delivery MX Translation module facilitates compatibility with ISO20022 standards by transforming SWIFT MT messages into ISO20022 messages. Specifically, it translates MT210/900/910 messages into camt.054 and camt.057 messages and MT103/202 messages into Payment Orders, which are then converted to ISO20022 by the Temenos Payments platform . The module uses a dedicated interface to emit extended MT messages into a queue, allowing for seamless transformation and compliance with ISO20022 standards .

Temenos ensures proper emission of extended MT messages for integration by configuring the SWIFTXML DE.CARRIER with a dedicated DE.INTERFACE field, which uses the Integration Framework to emit messages. This configuration specifies that the extended MT message includes both the MT message and the primary delivery header details. The integration queue is defined in the IF.INTEGRATION.SERVICE.PARAM application to direct these messages to the Delivery Translation layer .

The Delivery MX Translation module enhances flexibility by allowing the integration of different financial messaging standards, such as SWIFT MT and ISO20022, facilitating seamless translation between them. Its use of configurable attributes and queues enables tailored message routing, processing, and error handling. By supporting 'like for like' translations and enabling message processing across diverse platforms—such as on both Temenos Transact and Temenos Payments—it accommodates varying deployment environments and business requirements .

Routing MT messages poses challenges such as ensuring message integrity, compatibility with different financial systems, and accommodating different message standards. The Delivery MX Translation module addresses these challenges by using defined routing rules and processing attributes that provide flexibility and customization. It employs queues like the DEMXTRHandoffQueue for structured processing and error queues such as transformationFailQueue for handling failures. Additionally, it supports transformations via XSLT to ensure messages meet the target system's specifications . This setup ensures efficient, reliable message delivery in compliance with different financial standards.

Key components for setting up the Delivery MX Translation module include the SWIFTXML DE.CARRIER, which manages message generation and translation; the DEMXTR_MTMXOutward property file, defining queue parameters; and the Integration Framework for message emission. The SWIFT Delivery Carrier generates MT messages, while the SWIFTXML Delivery Carrier facilitates their translation to ISO20022. Various queues, such as DEMXTRHandoffQueue and MtXmlTransPostQueue, play vital roles in message processing and error handling .

The Delivery MX Translation module requires deployment on multiple platforms when Temenos Transact and Temenos Payments are running on separate platforms. In such cases, the module needs to operate on both to maintain seamless message reconciliation and translation from MT to ISO20022 and vice versa . Handling this involves setting up the Delivery modules separately on each platform to generate SWIFT MT messages on the Temenos Transact end and ISO20022 messages on the Temenos Payments platform .

Temenos handles message delivery failure in the Delivery MX Translation module using specific queues designed for error management. Messages that fail transformation are directed to the transformationFailQueue, while failure to deliver messages in their final target format results in them being placed in the extTransFailQueue. Additionally, DLQError is used when there are problems with queue availability, ensuring that messages are not lost during processing disruptions . This structured queue management allows for reliable error handling and recovery in the message translation process.

The Delivery MX Translation module uses various queues to manage the processing of messages. The DEMXTRHandoffQueue is where business applications emit messages in the extended MT format. If transformation to MTXML format is successful, the message is placed in the MtXmlTransPostQueue. Messages failing transformation are placed in the transformationFailQueue. If no routing rule is matched, messages are placed in the DefaultQueue. For final delivery, T24DeliveryQueue sends the message to the target platform. Further, extTransFailQueue handles failures in converting to the target application format, while DLQError stores messages if processing queues are unavailable .

The XSLT attribute in the Delivery MX Translation module's configuration is significant because it defines the XSL transformation applied to MTXML messages before they are routed to their target modules. This transformation ensures that the messages are correctly formatted and enriched according to the requirements of the receiving system, facilitating seamless and accurate message exchange across diverse systems. It ensures that the transformations align with business needs and are configured correctly for integration scenarios .
