SWIFT (eDoc)
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) operates a global financial messaging network that exchanges messages between banks and other financial institutions. Messages formatted to SWIFT standards can be read by, and processed by financial processing systems, whether or not the message traveled over the SWIFT network.
Note:  When creating a new map (manually or using the Map Wizard) and the target has no schema, DataConnect attempts to create one using the source schema. This is a straightforward process with a single record source to a single record target. The process differs with a multi-record (or hierarchical) source to multi-record target. In this case, DataConnect locates the first “flat” source record type (a record where none of the fields are themselves a record) and uses it to generate a basic schema for the target. Users can then build out the schema.
Schema File Required
You are provided a template file that contains the structure for your SWIFT file connections. If your SWIFT file structure is different, you may need to modify the template.
To make changes to an SWIFT template file
1. Import the file into Project Explorer.
2. Open the file in the Schema Editor.
3. Make your changes.
4. Save the file with a different name.
To obtain a template file, contact your sales representative. These template files are standard schemas.
To connect to a SWIFT source or target file, you must set a schema in the SchemaFile property.
Note:  For imported v10 map, to view the field value, you must connect and refresh the schema to get a new schema before running the map.
Connector Parts
Connector parts are the fields you configure to connect with a data source or target. The fields that are available depend on the connector you select.
For a list of all parts for source connectors, see Specifying Source Connector, Parts, and Properties.
For a list of all parts for target connectors, see Specifying Target Connector, Parts, and Properties.
Property Options
