================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft Money, version 5.0 == Open Financial Connectivity 1.0 == 

This information is intended for use by banks and solution providers who are evaluating or implementing a home banking server solution using OFC and Microsoft Money. For a fuller description of Open Financial Connectivity (OFC)please see the OFC specification. The specification is available for download on the Microsoft Web site by searching on the keyword OFC.

= SUMMARY =

The specification indicates a timeout interval of 2 minutes for receiving the OFC response file. The OFC server implementation should not attempt to track the timeout interval. The server should be designed to complete the processing of all requests independent of the timeout interval. If the timeout limit is reached, Money will enter “Crash Recovery”. In this case Money will re-send the prior request file containing the exact request records. At that time the server can respond with the response file containing the completed response records. Refer to the OFC specification for more info on Crash Recovery.
