The interface supports Balance Inquiry, ATM Withdrawals and POS Purchases. This app helps Financial Institution to provide an interface between the DNA Core and Acquirer based on the ISO 8583 messages request and processing them using the new / available Core APIs by converting the ISO 8583 requests into Core API XML and providing the response using the XML through an ISO 8583 format. Note: This application is designed to work with ISO Listener, a third-party executable which works as the bridge between Card Issuer and system which is performing a card transaction. This application launches the ISO Listener and monitors the incoming and outgoing messages. Processing: The ISO Listener is deployed to process the ISO 8583 request, parse them, connect to DNA Core using Core APIs, process them and send back response Message using the packer in ISO 8583. A New form is created though DNA creator as an App which allows the FI to Launch the ISO Listener via DNA Core at the location identified by the Bank Option „ISOL – ISO 8583 Listener Path‟. This App is displayed on a new UI form that is available at the following location: Services Services Institution ISO 8583 Listener Process A New form is created though DNA creator as an App which would allow the Financial Institute to monitor the incoming and outgoing ISO 8583 messages via DNA Core.

ISO 8583 Listener: The ISO 8583 listener is launched as an executable from the DNA app screen. The selection of „Launch ISO Listener‟ button on this screen installs the ISO Listener and launches the listener from DNA App at the location identified by the Bank Option „ISOL – ISO 8583 Listener Path‟. The screen pulls out the Connection String and other CORE API related information and passes it to the ISO Listener as arguments in the encrypted format. Performance: System is expected to acquire and send a transaction to core banking solution in less than 100ms time period in an average HW configuration. (1x8 core, 8 GB RAM). 100ms is the time that listener should take to forward the request to DNA.
The Acquirer is configured for the Listener‟s IP and port that allows it to initiate TCP connection with the ISO Listener.
Port Setup for Listener: The number of ports to be made available on ISO Listener would be based on the details available in the ISO Listener Configuration File. The user is required to edit the ISOListener.exe.config file to setup the ports which will accept the ISO 8583 messages.
The ISO listener would be developed to listen on ports as defined in the Listener Configuration File with multi-threading capabilities to accept up to 10 connections. Setup the Log File: All the ISO 8583 Request/Response messages will be logged on the server where ISO Listener is running. The path of this log file is setup in the ISOListener.exe.config file. Set “Log” to „Y‟ and “Path” as the log file location.
Sample of the Log File:
Setup the Path for ISO Listener: The user is required to setup the path for ISO Listener on Bank Option „ISOL – ISO 8583 Listener Path‟. Navigation: System>Institution>Institution Options If the path for listener is not setup then an application message “The value for ISO 8583 Listener Path is not setup” is displayed while opening the Listener Process screen and screen gets closed.
Parsing of 8583 message: The following logic is developed to parse the request coming in the form of ISO 8583 messages. An ISO 8583 message is in ASCII format and consists of three parts.
1. MTI - Message Type Indicator: This field is a 4-digit numeric field indicating the type of message.
2. BITMAP - This is only the primary bitmap and having size of 8 bytes. The secondary bitmap is the first field in the Data Element.
3. Data - data fields defined by the bitmap.

Note: The account type for the associated account is part of this Process Code (digit: 3-4) and identified as follows: 10 – Saving Account 20 – Checking Account 30 – Credit Card Account 00 – Direct Account – in this case the account type is determined based on the setup for the card as per priority for „Checking Account‟, „Saving account‟ and then „Credit Card Account‟.

ISO Message Field: The following table describes which of the fields specified in the previous tables are used in each of the messages providing the Acquirer interface. It also specifies if use of the field should be as response to the field in the request for matching and other processing purposes. In the following tables, "M" depicts that the field is mandatory for this particular message, "C" depicts that the field is conditional for this particular message and "MR" depicts that the field

(3) = This field will only be used for PIN-based transactions and 0800-Key Exchange messages.
(4) = This field will only be used for domestic purchase transactions to carry some special data.
(5) = These fields will only be available in international Amex ATM transactions‟ response messages. The content of these fields will be used for settlement purposes by the acquirer.
Listener Process:
The Acquirer opens a connection on ISO Listener (through specific IP and Port).
Once the connection is established, Acquirer will send Financial Transaction request message to the ISO Listener based on the transaction performed at the Terminal (e.g. Balance Inquiry, ATM withdrawal or POS Purchase).
The request 0200 (Financial Request ) is sent from Acquirer to ISO Bridge (ISO Listener)
ISO Listener passes the request to ISO 8583 Message Parser.
The Parser identifies the message format and then parses the message into respective fields from the request, generate XML based on the respective fields and pass it to CORE API for processing in the XML specific format.
ISO Message request is added to the OSIEXTN.DISO8583 table in the database with the unique Id.
The CORE API processes the request and generate a response XML
The response XML is converted back to ISO 8583 message format (using the packer to build ISO message).
ISO Message response is updated against the request ID in the OSIEXTN.DISO8583 table in the database.
0210 response (Financial Response) from ISO Bridge (ISO Listener) would be sent to Acquirer
The ISO 8583 request and generated response are stored in OSIEXTN.DISO8583 table against the related request for history purposes.

Additional Requirements: Before executing this application, the Financial Institution require following prerequisites at their environment:
Either DNA 3.3 or the higher version of DNA is available.
The required set-up script/ steps have been executed before running this application.
This application will be available if the Financial Institution has provided the authorization rights for the same to the respective users.
ISO Listener is a standalone executable from Third Party. This is a required component and needs to be acquired separately. FI needs to place all the following ISOListener related files at the location specified in the Bank Option „ISOL‟:
o DataAccess.dll o ISO8583.dll o ISOListener.exe o ISOListener.exe.config
Available ports needs to be identified and setup in the ISOListener.exe.config file. Notes: The Financial Institution is required to consider the following:
Acquirer will work as the client for the Listener.
This enhancement is done using the Core API procedures so no card transaction related entries are made.
Any other transaction requests other than the Balance Inquiry, Cash Withdrawal and Purchase (POS) are not considered.
FI needs to reset the IIS after restarting the database. To reset the IIS, run „IISRESET‟ command from the command Prompt on the Application Server where SAF Website is setup.
