Payment file inbound integration service from Managed Gateway
This service is part of the Payment Hub.
There are four files that make up a payment batch. All four are required before the batch can be validated.
| File | Description | Mask |
|---|---|---|
| Payment batch file | Contains a collection of payment requests | PENDING_{name}.dat |
- payment batch file,
{name}.dat - control file,
CTL_{name}.dat - checksum file,
{name}.txt - checksum control file,
CTL_{name}.txt
On successful validation, PENDING_ is added to all filenames and all but the payment batch file are moved to the inbound virtual directory.
- Docker
- Docker Compose
Optional:
- Kubernetes
- Helm
The application is designed to run in containerised environments, using Docker Compose in development and Kubernetes in production.
- A Helm chart is provided for production deployments to Kubernetes.
Container images are built using Docker Compose, with the same images used to run the service with either Docker Compose or Kubernetes.
By default, the start script will build (or rebuild) images so there will rarely be a need to build images manually. However, this can be achieved through the Docker Compose build command:
# Build container images
docker compose build
Use Docker Compose to run service locally.
./scripts/start
The tests have been structured into subfolders of ./test as per the
Microservice test approach and repository structure
A convenience script is provided to run automated tests in a containerised
environment. This will rebuild images before running tests via docker-compose,
using a combination of docker-compose.yaml and docker-compose.test.yaml.
The command given to docker compose run may be customised by passing
arguments to the test script.
Examples:
# Run all tests
scripts/test
# Run tests with file watch
scripts/test -w
This service uses the FFC CI pipeline
