Creating a swift format – BEA SWIFT Adapter User Manual
Page 9
This detail is generally not important; but if you are manually editing the version (in
say messages you already have) in XML’s remember to update the standard-version
tag appropriately.
The advantage of the above is that you have the same message library support for
your customized SWIFT messages just like standard SWIFT messages.

Creating a SWIFT Format
A SWIFT message format can be created in the designer either from
Existing SWIFT message format, or
Empty message format
When using an existing format, the same set of sequences and fields are available
for the newly created format. Though the mandatory elements cannot be changed,
the user has the option of enabling or disabling the optional sequences and fields as
per requirement. The existing SWIFT formats are available as XML files in the
location <installation dir>\config\swift\format.
When using an empty message format, the user has to add each sequence and field
as per the specification. This happens when the format has to be entered the first
time, after which the format can be saved and used to build other formats using the
first option.
