Overview

The connector for SWIFT is a runtime component of the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for SWIFT. The connector allows the WebSphere integration broker to exchange business objects with SWIFT-enabled business processes.

Note:
Throughout this document, SWIFT messages denote SWIFT FIN messages unless otherwise explicitly noted.

Connectors consist of an application-specific component and the connector framework. The application-specific component contains code tailored to a particular application. The connector framework, whose code is common to all connectors, acts as an intermediary between the integration broker and the application-specific component. The connector framework provides the following services between the integration broker and the application-specific component:

This document contains information about the application-specific component and connector framework. It refers to both of these components as the connector.

For more information about the relationship of the integration broker to the connector, see the IBM WebSphere InterChange Server System Administration Guide, the Implementing Adapters with WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker, or Implementing Adapters with WebSphere Application Server

All WebSphere business integration adapters operate with an integration broker. The connector for SWIFT operates with both the WebSphere InterChange Server (ICS), the WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker, and the WebSphere Application Server (WAS) integration brokers.

The connector for SWIFT allows the ICS or WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker to exchange business objects with applications that send or receive data in the form of SWIFT messages.
