Sage XRT Business Exchange 12.3.100
Production
Control of files to send
To further strengthen the application security, a new parameter can be selected in the Contract Manager, on requester contracts: Check that issued flows come from signature station.
This parameter is available for each bank contract and enables you to prevent sending files that do not originate from the signature station.
If you attempt to send such a file while this option is enabled, the following message is displayed:
Management of EBICS versions by the bank server
To facilitate client migrations, the EBICS bank server in Sage XRT Business Exchange can manage incoming flows in EBICS version 2.4, 2.5 or 3.0.
From the Contract Manager, on server contracts, select the * character in the Version list of the Contract group box.
Dynamic backup / restore for X509 certificates
Select the Integrity tab in System Administration. In the Advanced Options of the site, you can activate the option Enables backup/restore for certificates and private keys.
This function keeps the certificates container in sync for EBICS receive campaigns on N stations.
- The certificates are saved in the database while communication is executed on the first station.
- The second station, which does not store the contract certificates, will automatically restore them when communication is launched for a given contract.
- The data saved in the database are encrypted with the integrity key.
Three new uses are available for P5WCERT utility. They allow the certificate management in a database.
| Use | Description |
|---|---|
| /DBIMP | Import of certificates from the safe |
| /DBEXP | Export of certificates to the safe |
| /DBDEL | Disposal of certificates from the safe |
All the certificates are backed up. If its private key is specified as non-exportable, the certificate is saved without the private key. Certificates auto-generated by Sage XRT Business Exchange for transport purposes have a default private key specified as exportable. The station used to restore the certificates must have the same integrity key (passphrase) as the one on the station used for the backup.
File multi-distribution
To improve performance while processing statements availability, multi-distribution by reference is used as a default option. The file is made available to every subsidiary without being duplicated. The availability is based on the received file reference.
This optimized processing also contributes to reduce disk space usage.
You can enable Multi-distribution from the Processes screen for post-transfer exits in the Service Manager.
Default option setup in the registry: MultiDistribution Mode=1 at SMP_5 / COM level. To disable Multi-distribution mode: MultiDistribution Mode=0.
Telemetry management
If not used, telemetry can be disabled in order to optimize the platform. This will reduce your CPU load and decrease the number of requests sent to the database. You can find the option in System Administration, in the Misc. settings tab of the site.
Telemetry is disabled by default.
IPV6 support
This version supports IPV6 protocol on the TCPIP network interface of the file transfer service, as well as on the network proxy and notification service.
In System Administration, on Notification service for SMTP communication device, and on Transfer service for network device, the UseIPV6 variable is available in the Specific tabs.
The IpAdress variable is also available for transfer service and localhostname for SMTP service.
Traces management
Trace activation at global level is disk-space consuming.
To reduce resource usage while keeping traces available, you can activate them:
- at link level, persistently (Contract Manager - Requester contracts - Links), using the Force Trace option
- at launch, non-persistently, using the /FT option to execute SENDFILE or RECVFILE commands
You can use the new TRACEFILE utility to manage traces.
| Usage: TRACEFILE {/DPL | /ETM | /DTM} [/S: /P: /C: /T: /SERVER:] | |
|---|---|
| /S | Service name |
| /P | Entity name |
| /C | Client Name |
| /T | Protocol type |
| /DPL | Displays the list of active traces |
| /ETM | Activates the trace |
| /DTM | Deactivates the trace |
| /SERVER | Site name |
To use this trace management feature, you must deactivate global traces at File Transfer Service level in System Administration.
Persistent serialization support file via MSMQ
The serialization support file allows serialized processes to be resumed if an operational incident occurs.
In System Administration, select the Use persistent queue in the Parameters tab of the File Transfer Service to enable the option.
The MSMQ feature must be installed.
This has no impact on ActiveX processes. If an incident occurs on the platform, those processes might be lost.
Signature management
For bank servers supporting distributed electronic signature (VEU), in Contract Manager, VEU Signature is now available for selection in the Signature Type list for sending EBICS requester contracts.
Existing signature types have been renamed for better understanding.
Databases
This version supports database engines SQL Server 2019 and Oracle 18.
