Nifi and ISO 8583

[#1]

Is there a way to use Nifi to convert a ISO 8583 message? Converting to json would be nice. Soon I'll be getting a feed from our Mainframe every hour and it will be in ISO 8583 format. I'll need to convert it and process it.

Thanks for any help,

Chris

Hi @Chris Mazo,

I am not aware of a processor to deal with ISO8583 messages. I think that your best options are:

• write your own custom processor if you want to deal with some custom specifications
• use ExecuteScript processor and write your code in a language like Groovy directly in NiFi (you have some great examples here: http://funnifi.blogspot.fr/)

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll look into your suggestion and see what I can come up with.

It would be pretty easy to write a processor that uses this library:
