Filter Groups

The ValidationFilter.xml file consists of a list of filter groups. Each filter group has zero or more filters.

The following figure shows an example list of MT filter groups in the ValidationFilter.xml file:

For more details, see the ValidationFilter.xml file in the TIBCO_HOME/bw/palettes/swift/version_number/samples/ValidationFilter_for_MT or TIBCO_HOME/bw/palettes/swift/version_number/samples/ValidationFilter_for_MX directory.

Each filter group has a specification that defines the SWIFT message type or types to which the group's filters apply. A wildcard "*" character is permitted as the entire message type specification, or can be used after one or more message type characters. The specification "*", for example, applies its filter group to all SWIFT message types; the specification "5*" applies its filter group to all SWIFT message types whose first digit is 5; the specification "sese.023.001*" applies its filter group to all SWIFT message types whose first prefix is sese.023.001, and so on.
