Calling free-text parsing
Free-textparsing is called only from the NewWork flow of message cases. It is not available from a manual flow action, or anywhere in exception work case processing. The NewWork flow calls the FreeFormatTextParse flow immediately after the ParseMessage flow. Smart Investigate for Payments parses the inbound message (stripping away the header, parsing Fed Service or SWIFT fields, and so forth) and then calls free-text parsing.
The message class determines which properties are parsed — only block 4 is parsed for SWIFT messages, otherwise the entire body of the message is sent for parsing.
