Bank Wizard Absolute implementation overview

When using Bank Wizard Absolute, your application first passes data to Bank Wizard for validation. Bank Wizard returns conditions of varying severity to show whether the validation was successful:

• Fatal indicates a serious application problem, such as expired Licence Key. Typically, these are returned during initialisation and are included in the log file
• Error indicates that the account details are invalid
• Warning indicates that the account details may be invalid within the context of your application; you must decide how your application should react
• Information provides additional information conditions that your application must decide how to react to.

You can also retrieve data such as the bank or branch address details or the transposed account information. This and the validation data are stored within external Database Table Files (DTFs).

Once the details have been validated, they are passed to the Absolute service for verification. This service returns:

• data integrity errors if the data passed to the service is not complete or is formatted incorrectly
• messages to show whether the verification was completed
• scores to show how well the personal and account details match the Bank Wizard Absolute details.

Before you can send any data to the Absolute service, you must be authenticated using the WASP authentication service. If Bank Wizard cannot obtain a token, it will retry the authentication up to three times.
