A database for incoming payment data that can contain information not relevant for processing payment transactions, but that may be of interest to other parties. Entries are created for each type of business object:

  • Payment orders

  • Payment items

  • Recalls

 

The Input Manager uses the File Handler database to store all data sent by the feeder system to Payment Engine, regardless of whether this data is required for further processing of the payment transactions. For more information, see Input Manager. The system does not map data that is not required for processing to other business objects and does not pass it on to other components.

After the further components of Payment Engine have processed the necessary payment data, the format converter converts the processed information to the target format. The Output Manager includes the data stored in the File Handler database in the outgoing payment file. For more information, see Output Manager.

The system stores all data in the File Handler database in its original format and includes it after processing the payment transaction in the outbound data in the target format. You can check the data stored in the File Handler database at any time. For more information, see Display File Handler Database.

Example

For data in the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) format, the address of an account holder is not required for internal processing and thus the system does not transfer it to other components. However, the address (along with all other data) is stored in the File Handler database and is included in the outbound data in the target format.
