Hello,
Originally from Fiserv so I'm well aware of this site and the talent that lurks here so I figured I'd ask.
I work for a core processor and I've found that in my production environment that I never receive an auth cycle or a consistent Retrieval Reference Number on transactions using Visa or MC networks but I do on all other networks.
I dont see this with other EFT vendors and it's driving me nuts. Additionally, the certification system doesn't behave this way and the ISO8583 documentation doesn't read like this. So why would it not behave as designed in production.?
Is this a configuration? Anyone have a back story on this behavior? How does Visa and MC not care? I figured this sc--ws with the acquiring side as well as the issuer. I'm very surprised it hasn't been addressed. I've known of this for probably 5 years but it affects me now.
Thank you.
