This topic contains a description of the IBM® WebSphere® Multichannel Bank
Transformation Toolkit definition
files that are in the Java Resources folder.

WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit applications
contain the following
.xml definition files:
- btt.xml
- Is the definition file for all the components of WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit. This
file stores the required information for each WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkitcomponent.
Each WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit application
can have only one btt.xml file.
- context.xml
- A context is an object that defines and encapsulates data for
a functional and business organization entity. Each context has one
keyed collection as its root data. The keyed collection data can refer
to the content of the data.xml file, where the
context has a unique ID.
- data.xml
- Data elements are used by the toolkit to hold data in a structure
that enables toolkit entities. You can define different typed data
elements in the data.xml file and bind them to
XUI files. Each data.xml file has one keyed collection
as its root data.
- format.xml
- The format.xml file is the definition file
for the formatters of a WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit application.
Formatters are used by the toolkit to exchange data between toolkit
entities such as operations, context, and processors. Each formatter
converts a specific data item into a string representation of the
data item and parses a string into a specific data item.
- invoker.xml
- The invoker.xml file is the definition file
for the invokers of an application. An invoker is a method-level-based
invocation service that supports POJO, EJB, Web Service, JMS and synchronized
invocation.
- operation.xml
- The operation.xml files is the definition
file for WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit operations.
An operation is the entity that performs the set of tasks that are
required to complete a basic financial operation, such as data input
and validation, interaction with external services, and management
of the result and data received.
- processor.xml
- The processor.xml file is the definition
file for WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit processors.
A processor is a representation of a route through a business process
operation. The flow reflects the results of performing different actions
and responding to system-generated events within the business process.
- type.xml
- The type.xml file is the definition file
for WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit typed
data elements. Typed data elements represent business objects such
as Date and Money. They differ from non-typed data elements because
they contain information about the type of business objects they represent
and conform to the business rules of the object.
- service.xml
- The service.xml file is the definition for WebSphere Multichannel
Bank Transformation Toolkit services.
Service objects enable an application to complete an operation. Services
include host communications, journaling, store-and-forward for offline
operations, financial devices for input and output operations.
