FINS Core Banking Accounts System API - Implementation Template
home
This API implementation template is a component of MuleSoft Accelerators, which accelerate the implementation of essential integration use cases.
The solution includes pre-built APIs, connectors, and integration templates that help unlock business-critical data from external systems and guide you in adopting best practices synthesized from thousands of customer implementations. Use these assets as is or extend them to meet your company’s unique needs.
Overview
This integration template implements the FINS Core Banking Accounts System API specification. This system API enables working with accounts, transactions, and cards in a generic Core Banking system. A scaled down version of a generic Core Banking system representing the system of record for financial data has been implemented with MariaDB.
Getting started
The Getting Started with MuleSoft Accelerators guide provides general information on getting started with the accelerator components. This includes instructions on setting up your local workstation for configuring and deploying the applications. |
Once your workstation has been set up and the application template imported into Anypoint Studio, proceed with the Prerequisites section.
Prerequisites
This implementation template has the following dependencies:
- MariaDB
Please review the use cases described on the MuleSoft Accelerator for Financial Services solution pages for more information about dependencies on other APIs and services.
Configuring the MariaDB
These instructions assume that you have a MariaDB version 10.6.8 or later. There are DB Scripts located under the src/test/resources/scripts folder.
- Run the DB scripts for the Core Banking Customers System API first
- Run the DB scripts for the Financial Institutions System API next
- Run the DB scripts for this API in below order:
- create-accounts-schema.sql
- create-reference-data.sql
- create-logging-scripts.sql (optional, for debugging)
- generate-sp-create-script (produces a script to create all stored procs)
- create-stored-procedures.sql
To drop the tables and stored procedures, execute the scripts drop-accounts-schema.sql and drop-stored-procedures.sql, respectively. To truncate data from the tables, use the truncate-data.sql script.
Deployment
Each Accelerator implementation template in Exchange includes Bash and Windows scripts for building and deploying the APIs to CloudHub. These scripts depend on repositories, global settings, deployment profiles, and associated properties configured in the Maven settings.xml
file.
For additional details, please refer to the Application Deployment section of the Getting Started Guide.
Preparation
Ensure the Maven profile CloudHub-FINS-DEV
has been properly configured in your settings.xml
file. In particular, make sure the common properties for your environment have been provided (e.g., Anypoint Platform client ID and secret).
Required property overrides
At a minimum, the following properties must be customized for this application to reflect the target deployment environment.
Property Name | Description |
---|---|
api.autodiscoveryID | Required if using API Manager to secure this API |
core-banking.database.host | Core Banking Database Hostname |
core-banking.database.name | Core Banking Database name |
core-banking.database.username | Core Banking Database username |
core-banking.database.password | Core Banking Database password |
Testing
Use Advanced Rest Client or Postman to send a request over HTTPS. The template includes a Postman collection in the src/test/resources
folder. Update the collection variable(s) after successful import.
Additional resources
- The Data mappings tab describes how the request and response data structures are mapped between the API interface and the CoreBanking DB.
