    3. Field Description
    Interface Routine Upload API for the directory
    The logic to upload the directory file is defined in the API specific for each directory file.

  5. To enable automatic upload of the clearing directory, create an information file (text file with any filename, for example, UKDIR.XML) in the ‘tcupload’ folder of EB.FILE.UPLOAD.PARAM table.

    6. The text file needs to have only one line, which specifies the upload filename (with extension) of the specific clearing directory. Information file is created for each upload.

The reachability key performs the reachability check, which is a combination of the following parameters:

BIC Bank Identifier Code to identify the participant bank
BIC Bank Identifier Code that to identifies the participant bank
