Introduction

Oracle fusion has a direct option to transmit the payment files from Cloud application to Payment system or Bank based on the setup defined in system.

Why Transmission configuration is needed

In Oracle Fusion Payments, setting up transmission configurations is mandatory if your company wants to transmit payments to a payment system or a bank.

To enable your company to exchange information with your payment system or bank, a preexisting agreement must exist as to how information is structured and how each side sends and receives it.

How do we configure?

A transmission configuration is a group of specific transmission details, which is associated with a specific transmission protocol. A transmission configuration defines a value for each parameter in a transmission protocol. The values in a transmission configuration are specific to one payment system or financial institution.

Setting up Transmission Configurations:

Setting up transmission configurations involves the following actions:

Understanding Protocols

A transmission protocol is a set of rules or procedures for transmitting data between electronic devices, such as computers. To transmit data, such as a payment file or a settlement batch from Payments to an external payment system, you must define the transmission protocols that the payment system can receive

Payments offers industry-standard predefined transmission protocols, such as SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and AS2.

Understanding Transmission Configurations

Setting up Transmission Configurations

In the Setup and Maintenance work area navigate to global search and search for “Manage Transmission Configurations”.

On the Create Transmission Configuration page, enable electronic connectivity with your payment system or bank by specifying values for each parameter for the protocol you selected.

In this case we will try to understand more details on “Secure File Transfer Protocol for Static File Names” Protocol.

From the above Screen image, we need to provide the required information to establish a successful connection with payment system / Bank.

How You Test the Transmission Configuration

To confirm the accuracy of the setup, click the Test button on the Create or Edit Transmission Configuration page. The Test button is active only when the values associated with all the mandatory parameters are present. Typical transmission configuration parameters that are available to test include:

Destination server URL
Destination server IP address
Destination server port number
Remote file directory
User credentials

Testing the transmission configuration setup includes reviewing return messages

Reviewing Test Return Messages

Test	Test Result	Return Message
Whether the connection is correct.	Connection is successful. Remote file directory is present.	Success
Whether the remote file directory is valid.	Connection is successful. Remote file directory isn’t present or incorrect.	Incorrect remote directory
Whether user credentials are correct.	Connection is unsuccessful. Destination IP address and port is correct. Incorrect login credentials.	Incorrect user credentials
Whether IP address or port is correct	Connection is unsuccessful. Incorrect IP address or port.	Incorrect destination server details
Whether two factor key file-based authentication is successful.	Connection is unsuccessful. Unsuccessful key file-based authentication.	Unsuccessful authentication
Whether the destination server is responsive.	Destination server is down	Destination server is not responding
Not applicable.	Any other failure.

Conclusion

As an Oracle cloud offering transmission configurations can be used to place the payment files directly in to payment system or bank .
