Requirements                                                                                      

Synergy was invited to offer a message transformation solution to RBS in Singapore. The bank was concerned about the impact of the new SWIFT message standards on its back office banking systems.

The concerns were based on the ST400 SWIFT interface system’s availability in the future with the SWIFT 2001 changes affecting the successful processing of messages generated by its back-office system.

RBS required a solution that would upgrade the ST400 hardware at minimal risk and cost.

The proposed solution had to transform MT300 and MT320 messages from SWIFT 2000 to 2001 standards generated by its back-office system.

The bank required messages to be routed to the bank’s ST400 SWIFT Interface System in Singapore via TCP/IP PAI link.

The proposed system would then receive messages and ACKS from the ST400 and return them to the back-office system on the AS400 in the original format.

Solutions

Synergy proposed ClaritySwitch, a Web Server based messaging platform.

The multi-threaded architecture of ClaritySwitch facilitated the requirement to handle high volumes of message traffic and throughput at peak intervals.

A total of 3 real-time IP links were implemented to the ST400, simultaneously handling the bursts in messaging traffic.

The RBOS solution is based on a high performance Compaq Server (multiple CPU’s, 1.5Gb Ram, Raid 5 etc) running under Windows NT.

ClaritySwitch 3-tier web components used:

RDBMS Server: Microsoft SQL Server

• Http Server: Apache
• J2EE Server: Apache Tomcat
