In Collaboration Validation Methods

As an alternative to using the Validation Collaborations, the 5.1 version of the SWIFT OTD Library offers two validation methods, validate(), and validateMFVR(), that can be invoked by a Collaboration to validate SWIFT 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 OTDs directly in the Collaboration.

For example, if you have an OTD for message MT 541, you can call the OTD’s validateMFVR() method from the Collaboration, and the Collaboration validates the message’s MFVRs.

The validation methods are available for the same SWIFT message OTDs listed under Message Validation Rules. You can see (or select) these validation methods by right-clicking the SWIFT message OTD from the Collaboration Editor’s Business Rules Designer and clicking Select method to call on the shortcut menu.

These methods are described in detail as follows:
