upgrading to the new v5.0 of the ELS/
ESM application. During the presenta-
tion, a live demo of the upgrade was
demonstrated to the attending members.
Bearing in mind the need for comprehen-
sive testing of the new version, speakers
suggested the following scope for the
testing process:
• Envelope creation / Manual action
• Host communication
• Import/export envelope processing
• SAG communication
• ECI status, cancel, return, payout
Self-Assessment
Marián Illovský (Postova Banka, Slova-
kia), member of the Eurogiro Security
Group, presented the results of the 2017
Self-Assessment. The overall rating was
“Good”.
Other presentations
In addition to important current issues,
the event offered attendees an opportu-
nity to further expand their knowledge on
many interesting topics: PDS2 initiative
and its impact on the banking and pay-
ments industry, presented by Miroslav
Stojmanovski of Seavus, and the “why”,
“what” and “how” of Microservices
presented by Jacob Mikkelsen and Jeppe
Cramon of Inpay.
As always, TUG 2018 was a perfect
opportunity for members to interact with
Seavus and ENOC, exchange valuable
information, network and contribute to
the further development of the Eurogiro
Community.

SWIFT GPI:
Eurogiro has started to work on
the conceptual design of the func-
tionalities to support the SWIFT
GPI requirements.
The current plan is based on the
introduction of a new MT103 enve-
lope type, which would include two
additional fields in block 3 of the
Header, as per GPI requirements:
• Field 121 – Unique End-to-end
Transaction Reference (UETR)
• Field 111 – Service Type
Identifier
The above mentioned fields would
be optional. Also, this new type
of MT103 would contain only one
transaction – therefore bulking
would not be possible for this
envelope type.
By introducing the new message
type, members would have the
ability to bilateraly agree on the
usage of the new features, while
existing operations would not be
affected.
As the work on GPI requirements
in Eurogiro is still in the concept-
ual phase, members are welcome
to send their suggestions. The
date of release of GPI functionali-
ties will be given later.
