Follow the steps in Get started with connectors before proceeding. Smarty access: An active contract with Smarty, with accounts and credentials for Smarty services.

Prepare the connector

Backbase deploys this connector. To provide the environment details, follow these steps:
  1. Send environment details to Backbase. Send smarty-us-license, smarty-us-metadata-license, smarty-int-license, smarty-auth-id, smarty-auth-token, and the Smarty base URLs to your Backbase support team.
For property names and defaults, see Reference.

Test your integration

To access the Location Data Management 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 have one provisioned. 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 Smarty endpoint. This typically indicates an upstream service outage at Smarty or a network routing failure.Solution: Verify the operational status of the Smarty environment with Smarty.
Cause: The request to Smarty exceeded the configured timeout threshold. This can occur during high load or network latency issues.Solution: Verify the operational status of the Smarty environment with Smarty.
Cause: The credentials provided during setup are incorrect.Solution: Verify your credentials with Smarty and contact your Backbase support team to update the connection.
Cause: The number of incoming requests exceeded the defined threshold for your subscription tier. This response protects the stability of the Banking OS and partner infrastructure.Solution: Review your application’s request patterns to identify unexpected spikes. If you require higher throughput, contact your Backbase support team to request an adjustment to your APIM rate limit policy.
