Request Settings

The Settings tab on a request lets you fine-tune how PruTAN sends that request. The available options depend on the request type — REST requests and ISO requests expose different settings.

The Settings tab is available for logged-in users, since these options are saved with the request.

ISO Request Settings

For an ISO request, the Settings tab lets you control how the ISO 8583 message is framed and which spec it uses.

Message Representation

How the ISO message payload is represented on the wire:

Header Size

The ISO message header length used when framing the message:

ValueDescription
