What camt.020 is for

The GetGeneralBusinessInformation message is sent by a member to the transaction administrator.

It is used to request information on a broadcast-type message previously sent by the transaction administrator to all or some of the members, giving information related to the processing business.

The transaction administrator can send general business information messages to the members, which may request further action from them. General business information can contain either static data announcing foreseen events affecting the system operations, or dynamic data warning or notifying about unexpected events.

This type of information can be transmitted in either of the two following ways:

- non-solicited reports are pushed by the transaction administrator to the (selected) members together with a reference, a qualifier and a subject line

- upon request from the members (pull mode), the transaction administrator delivers the full text/content of the message back to the user

The Get General Business Information message is used in this second context. At any time during the operating hours of the system, the member can query the transaction administrator to get information about a report of general business information previously sent.

The member can request information based on the following elements:

- reference of the report previously delivered

- subject of the report previously delivered, detailing the purpose and content of the message
