FIX: The SWIFT_NetworkRule267_Policy policy validates MT535 messages incorrectly when you use Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT 2009 Message Pack in BizTalk Server 2006 R2, BizTalk Server 2006, and BizTalk Server 2004

Consider the following scenario:

• You�have a computer that is running Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006, BizTalk Server 2006 R2, or BizTalk Server 2004.
• You use one of the following products together with the BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT 2009 Message Pack to process messages:
  • Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT(A4SWIFT) 2.1
  • Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT 2.3
  • Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT 3.0
  • Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT 3.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
• You enable Business Rule Engine (BRE) validation on the SWIFT disassembler (DASM) and you deploy�the validation policy for MT 535 messages.�
• You receive an MT 535 message that meets the following conditions:
  • The Activity Flag (field :17B:ACTI) in sequence A General Information is "N."
  • Sequence B is not present.
  • Field :22F::STTY//ACCT is present .
  • Subsequence B1 is not present.

In this scenario, the message is rejected by BizTalk Server and you receive the following error message:
However, according to the SWIFT manual, this MT 535 message is valid.

This problem occurs because of an error in the Network Rule 267 validation policy in Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT 2009 Message Pack.
