1. Introduction
1.1 Background to Release 3.50
The CEN/XFS Workshop aims to promote a clear and unambiguous specification defining a multi-vendor software
interface to financial peripheral devices. The XFS (eXtensions for Financial Services) specifications are developed
within the CEN (European Committee for Standardization/Information Society Standardization System) Workshop
environment. CEN Workshops aim to arrive at a European consensus on an issue that can be published as a CEN
Workshop Agreement (CWA).
The CEN/XFS Workshop encourages the participation of both banks and vendors in the deliberations required to
create an industry standard. The CEN/XFS Workshop achieves its goals by focused sub-groups working
electronically and meeting quarterly.
Release 3.50 of the XFS specification is based on a C API and is delivered with the continued promise for the
protection of technical investment for existing applications. This release of the specification extends the
functionality and capabilities of the existing devices covered by the specification:
• Addition of E2E security
• PIN Password Entry
1.2 XFS Service-Specific Programming
The service classes are defined by their service-specific commands and the associated data structures, error codes,
messages, etc. These commands are used to request functions that are specific to one or more classes of Service
Providers, but not all of them, and therefore are not included in the common API for basic or administration
functions.
When a service-specific command is common among two or more classes of Service Providers, the syntax of the
command is as similar as possible across all services, since a major objective of XFS is to standardize function
codes and structures for the broadest variety of services. For example, using the WFSExecute function, the
commands to read data from various services are as similar as possible to each other in their syntax and data
structures.
In general, the specific command set for a service class is defined as a superset of the specific capabilities likely to
be provided by the developers of the services of that class; thus any particular device will normally support only a
subset of the defined command set.
There are three cases in which a Service Provider may receive a service-specific command that it does not support:
The requested capability is defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification, the particular vendor
implementation of that service does not support it, and the unsupported capability is not considered to be
fundamental to the service. In this case, the Service Provider returns a successful completion, but does no operation.
An example would be a request from an application to turn on a control indicator on a passbook printer; the Service
Provider recognizes the command, but since the passbook printer it is managing does not include that indicator, the
Service Provider does no operation and returns a successful completion to the application.
The requested capability is defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification, the particular vendor
implementation of that service does not support it, and the unsupported capability is considered to be fundamental
to the service. In this case, a WFS_ERR_UNSUPP_COMMAND error for Execute commands or
WFS_ERR_UNSUPP_CATEGORY error for Info commands is returned to the calling application. An example
would be a request from an application to a cash dispenser to retract items where the dispenser hardware does not
have that capability; the Service Provider recognizes the command but, since the cash dispenser it is managing is
unable to fulfil the request, returns this error.
The requested capability is not defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification. In this case, a
WFS_ERR_INVALID_COMMAND error for Execute commands or WFS_ERR_INVALID_CATEGORY error
for Info commands is returned to the calling application.
This design allows implementation of applications that can be used with a range of services that provide differing
7
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
SIST CWA 16926-70:2023
CWA 16926-70:2023 (E)
subsets of the functionalities that are defined for their service class. Applications may use the WFSGetInfo and
WFSAsyncGetInfo commands to inquire about the capabilities of the service they are about to use, and modify
their behavior accordingly, or they may use functions and then deal with error returns to make decisions as to how
to use the service.

2. Vendor Dependent Mode
This specification describes the functionality of the services provided by the Vendor Dependent Mode (VDM)
Service Provider under XFS, by defining the service-specific commands that can be issued, using the WFSGetInfo,
WFSAsyncGetInfo, WFSExecute and WFSAsyncExecute functions.
In all device classes there needs to be some method of going into a vendor specific mode to allow for capabilities
which go beyond the scope of the current XFS specifications. A typical usage of such a mode might be to handle
some configuration or diagnostic type of function or perhaps perform some 'off-line' testing of the device. These
functions are normally available on Self-Service devices in a mode traditionally referred to as Maintenance Mode
or Supervisor Mode and usually require operator intervention. It is those vendor-specific functions not covered by
(and not required to be covered by) XFS Service Providers that will be available once the device is in Vendor
Dependent Mode.
This service provides the mechanism for switching to and from Vendor Dependent Mode. The VDM Service
Provider can be seen as the central point through which all Enter and Exit VDM requests are synchronized.
Entry into, or exit from, Vendor Dependent Mode can be initiated either by an application or by the VDM Service
Provider itself. If initiated by an application, then this application needs to issue the appropriate command to
request entry or exit. If initiated by the VDM Service Provider i.e. some vendor dependent switch, then these
request commands are in-appropriate and not issued.
Once the entry request has been made, all registered applications will be notified of the entry request by an event
message. These applications must attempt to close all open sessions with XFS Service Providers (except for
specific Service Providers which explicitly allow sessions to remain open) as soon as possible and then issue an
acknowledgement command to the VDM Service Provider when ready. Once all applications have acknowledged,
the VDM Service Provider will issue event messages to these applications to indicate that the System is in Vendor
Dependent Mode.
Similarly, once the exit request has been made all registered applications will be notified of the exit request by an
event message. These applications must then issue an acknowledgement command to the VDM Service Provider
immediately. Once all applications have acknowledged, the VDM Service Provider will issue event messages to
these applications to indicate that the system has exited from Vendor Dependent Mode.
Thus, XFS compliant applications that do not request entry to Vendor Dependent Mode, must comply with the
following:
• Every XFS application should open a session with the VDM Service Provider passing a valid ApplId and
Formatted: Font: Italic
then register for all VDM entry and exit notices.
• Before opening a session with any other XFS Service Provider, check the status of the VDM Service
Provider. If Vendor Dependent Mode is not “Inactive”, do not open a session.
• When getting a VDM entry notice, close all open sessions with all XFS Service Providers which require
sessions to be closed as soon as possible and issue an acknowledgement for the entry to VDM.
• When getting a VDM exit notice, acknowledge at once.
• When getting a VDM exited notice, re-open any required sessions with other XFS Service Providers.
This is mandatory for self-service but optional for branch.

1. Introduction
1.1 Background to Release 3.50
The CEN/XFS Workshop aims to promote a clear and unambiguous specification defining a multi-vendor software
interface to financial peripheral devices. The XFS (eXtensions for Financial Services) specifications are developed
within the CEN (European Committee for Standardization/Information Society Standardization System) Workshop
environment. CEN Workshops aim to arrive at a European consensus on an issue that can be published as a CEN
Workshop Agreement (CWA).
The CEN/XFS Workshop encourages the participation of both banks and vendors in the deliberations required to
create an industry standard. The CEN/XFS Workshop achieves its goals by focused sub-groups working
electronically and meeting quarterly.
Release 3.50 of the XFS specification is based on a C API and is delivered with the continued promise for the
protection of technical investment for existing applications. This release of the specification extends the
functionality and capabilities of the existing devices covered by the specification:
• Addition of E2E security
• PIN Password Entry
1.2 XFS Service-Specific Programming
The service classes are defined by their service-specific commands and the associated data structures, error codes,
messages, etc. These commands are used to request functions that are specific to one or more classes of Service
Providers, but not all of them, and therefore are not included in the common API for basic or administration
functions.
When a service-specific command is common among two or more classes of Service Providers, the syntax of the
command is as similar as possible across all services, since a major objective of XFS is to standardize function
codes and structures for the broadest variety of services. For example, using the WFSExecute function, the
commands to read data from various services are as similar as possible to each other in their syntax and data
structures.
In general, the specific command set for a service class is defined as a superset of the specific capabilities likely to
be provided by the developers of the services of that class; thus any particular device will normally support only a
subset of the defined command set.
There are three cases in which a Service Provider may receive a service-specific command that it does not support:
The requested capability is defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification, the particular vendor
implementation of that service does not support it, and the unsupported capability is not considered to be
fundamental to the service. In this case, the Service Provider returns a successful completion, but does no operation.
An example would be a request from an application to turn on a control indicator on a passbook printer; the Service
Provider recognizes the command, but since the passbook printer it is managing does not include that indicator, the
Service Provider does no operation and returns a successful completion to the application.
The requested capability is defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification, the particular vendor
implementation of that service does not support it, and the unsupported capability is considered to be fundamental
to the service. In this case, a WFS_ERR_UNSUPP_COMMAND error for Execute commands or
WFS_ERR_UNSUPP_CATEGORY error for Info commands is returned to the calling application. An example
would be a request from an application to a cash dispenser to retract items where the dispenser hardware does not
have that capability; the Service Provider recognizes the command but, since the cash dispenser it is managing is
unable to fulfil the request, returns this error.
The requested capability is not defined for the class of Service Providers by the XFS specification. In this case, a
WFS_ERR_INVALID_COMMAND error for Execute commands or WFS_ERR_INVALID_CATEGORY error
for Info commands is returned to the calling application.
This design allows implementation of applications that can be used with a range of services that provide differing
7

CWA 16926-70:2023 (E)
subsets of the functionalities that are defined for their service class. Applications may use the WFSGetInfo and
WFSAsyncGetInfo commands to inquire about the capabilities of the service they are about to use, and modify
their behavior accordingly, or they may use functions and then deal with error returns to make decisions as to how
to use the service.

2. Vendor Dependent Mode
This specification describes the functionality of the services provided by the Vendor Dependent Mode (VDM)
Service Provider under XFS, by defining the service-specific commands that can be issued, using the WFSGetInfo,
WFSAsyncGetInfo, WFSExecute and WFSAsyncExecute functions.
In all device classes there needs to be some method of going into a vendor specific mode to allow for capabilities
which go beyond the scope of the current XFS specifications. A typical usage of such a mode might be to handle
some configuration or diagnostic type of function or perhaps perform some 'off-line' testing of the device. These
functions are normally available on Self-Service devices in a mode traditionally referred to as Maintenance Mode
or Supervisor Mode and usually require operator intervention. It is those vendor-specific functions not covered by
(and not required to be covered by) XFS Service Providers that will be available once the device is in Vendor
Dependent Mode.
This service provides the mechanism for switching to and from Vendor Dependent Mode. The VDM Service
Provider can be seen as the central point through which all Enter and Exit VDM requests are synchronized.
Entry into, or exit from, Vendor Dependent Mode can be initiated either by an application or by the VDM Service
Provider itself. If initiated by an application, then this application needs to issue the appropriate command to
request entry or exit. If initiated by the VDM Service Provider i.e. some vendor dependent switch, then these
request commands are in-appropriate and not issued.
Once the entry request has been made, all registered applications will be notified of the entry request by an event
message. These applications must attempt to close all open sessions with XFS Service Providers (except for
specific Service Providers which explicitly allow sessions to remain open) as soon as possible and then issue an
acknowledgement command to the VDM Service Provider when ready. Once all applications have acknowledged,
the VDM Service Provider will issue event messages to these applications to indicate that the System is in Vendor
Dependent Mode.
Similarly, once the exit request has been made all registered applications will be notified of the exit request by an
event message. These applications must then issue an acknowledgement command to the VDM Service Provider
immediately. Once all applications have acknowledged, the VDM Service Provider will issue event messages to
these applications to indicate that the system has exited from Vendor Dependent Mode.
Thus, XFS compliant applications that do not request entry to Vendor Dependent Mode, must comply with the
following:
• Every XFS application should open a session with the VDM Service Provider passing a valid ApplId and
Formatted: Font: Italic
then register for all VDM entry and exit notices.
• Before opening a session with any other XFS Service Provider, check the status of the VDM Service
Provider. If Vendor Dependent Mode is not “Inactive”, do not open a session.
• When getting a VDM entry notice, close all open sessions with all XFS Service Providers which require
sessions to be closed as soon as possible and issue an acknowledgement for the entry to VDM.
• When getting a VDM exit notice, acknowledge at once.
• When getting a VDM exited notice, re-open any required sessions with other XFS Service Providers.
This is mandatory for self-service but optional for branch.
