Using the RMA filtering exit

Introduction

FEX provides an RMA filtering exit that is used in conjunction with Axway Gateway. The exit is used by Gateway to interface itself with the FEX RMA Server to provide RMA capability.

Important: To enable the RMA filtering user exit, make sure you select the option Enabling RMA for Gateway when you install the RMA Application.

Gateway uses the RMA filtering exit to make authorization requests to the RMA Server for transfers it receives or wants to send:

The user exit searches for a valid authorization in the Axway Financial Exchange authorizations data store.

Depending on the response of the RMA Server, the transfers will either proceed or be canceled. Transfers are not sent or received when valid authorizations are not found.

Prerequisites

Axway Gateway must be configured correctly for RMA (and ASP). Make sure that the path to the user exit library and the path to the RMA user exit configuration file are defined in Gateway. For details of how to configure Gateway, refer to the Axway Gateway online documentation.

Contents of the user exit configuration file

This section is provided for reference. The Axway Installer configures the exit when you install the RMA Application. The user exit configuration file contains the following parameters:

Parameter Description
host The machine name or IP address of the machine on which the server is running
port The port on which the server is listening
username The username that the command line will use to connect to the server
domain The domain name to which the user belongs
password The encrypted password corresponding to the user
timeout The timeout (in seconds). The exit waits for this length of time before concluding that the server is not responding.
certificate_path The full path containing the certificate required to authenticate connection with the RMA Server

Logging

Consult the Gateway log for log messages generated by the user exit.
