Topic: Getting Institution Profile

A way to discover all the info you need about a given institution, including ofx version, security requirements, etc., is to use this query. Note that the institution should respond with this info using the anonymous login and password shown.

Note 1: DTCLIENT: I use today's date, not important really
Note 2: DTPROFUP: The date we last received an update. I don't keep the profile, so I arbitrarily use today's date minus 2 years. I really don't think it matters when using anonymous login ...

Re: Getting Institution Profile

Could anyone give more details about how should this query be used ? I mean an example with screenshots, etc. ?
