Follow the steps in Get started with connectors before proceeding. Fiserv DNA access: An active account in the Fiserv DNA production or test environment with the necessary permissions. Network connectivity: Verify that your network routes traffic between the Fiserv DNA environment and Banking OS Connectivity. For supported options, see Network connectivity. Environment details: You need the following environment details from Fiserv DNA:

Prepare the connector

Backbase deploys this connector. To share connectivity details and provide the environment details, follow these steps:
  1. Share connectivity details. Share connectivity details between Banking OS and Fiserv DNA as described in Network connectivity.
  2. Send environment details to Backbase. Send fiservdna.baseUrl, fiservdna.host, device-id, user-id, password, and fiservdna.appId to your Backbase support team.
For property names and defaults, see Reference.

Testing your integration

To use the Unified API, include your Banking OS subscription key in the request header. If you don’t have a key, contact your Backbase support team to request one. Test the API using the Postman collection.

Troubleshooting

If your connector isn’t responding as expected, check these common scenarios.
Cause: The Banking OS gateway cannot establish a handshake with the Fiserv DNA endpoint. This typically indicates an upstream service outage at Fiserv or a network routing failure.Solution: Verify the operational status of the Fiserv DNA environment. Check the Fiserv status page or contact Fiserv support.
Cause: The request to Fiserv DNA exceeded the configured timeout period. This may indicate performance issues at Fiserv or network latency problems.Solution: Verify the operational status of the Fiserv DNA environment and check for any performance degradation.
Cause: The DirectSignOn credentials provided during setup are incorrect, expired, or the user lacks the required permissions in Fiserv DNA.Solution: Re-verify your credentials with your Fiserv DNA administrator and ensure the user has the required permissions. Contact your Backbase support team to update the connection credentials if needed.
Cause: The SSOTicket or WhoIsResult token has expired based on the ExpirationDate field.Solution: The connector automatically refreshes tokens. If you continue to see errors, verify that the system clock is synchronized.
Cause: The number of incoming requests exceeds the defined threshold for your subscription tier. This “429 Too Many Requests” response protects the stability of the Banking OS and Fiserv DNA infrastructure.Solution: Review your app’s request patterns to identify unexpected spikes. If you need higher throughput, contact your Backbase support team to request a higher rate limit.
