API Submission Process
Description
When you generate API data, this triggers a submission process which is illustrated in the diagram below:
Step | Description | Outcome |
---|---|---|
1 | The Generate button in the pension generation step is pressed | Batch Status is Queued. |
2 | Windows Service picks up all batches that are queued to then contact the provider. | Â |
3 | When the Windows Service contacts the provider, the credentials are checked. | If verified, the batch is submitted. |
 |  | If not verified, the API username and password should be checked and updated. |
4 | Pension providers do not always return an instance response and can take up to 24 hours to confirm if data sent is valid. The pension provider may provide a date and time back to the software of when to next check for an update. FastTrack360 will monitor this. | Â |
5 | Pension provider then verifies the data. | If data is valid, the batch status is set to Completed. |
 |  | If data is invalid, error messages will be provided and needs to be resolved. The user will then re-submit the batch and the updated records will be re-sent. This process will continue until all rows have been submitted successfully. |
