Credit Card Accounts don't work

[deyhle]

client.MsgGetKontoUmsaetze does not work when the "konto" is from a credit card and the object does not have the "sepa_data" property. When giving the full konto object as property, I get:

MalformedMessage: HIRMG is mandatory but missing.

The documentation is somewhat unspecific in this case ("konto - Das Konto für das die Umsätze geladen werden sollen") – what exactly is needed in that object? Or is the client.MsgGetKontoUmsaetze function generally not able to get transactions for credit cards?

What bank are you connecting to? I learned that e.g. DKB does not provide such information for credit card accounts.

It actually is DKB. I'm just confused because the client.konten array lists the credit cards along the normal sepa account… they are just missing the sepa_data property that is needed for MsgGetKontoUmsaetze. But because they come back in the account list, I assume it must somehow be possible to get the transactions…

http://www.linuxwiki.de/OpenHBCI/GetesteteBanken/DKB states, that DKB uses some different infrastructure for credit card, which is not supported.
Also StarMoney uses a page parser instead of HBCI for credit card.

I had the same error and did some debugging.

First, because sepa_data is null in this case, I created it myself. DKB only supports v5 here in the relevant code part, so it's sufficient to pass an object with konto_nr, unter_konto, ctry_code and blz here. These are all the fields I could find that are used in MsgGetKontoUmsaetze in this case.

The misleading HIRMG error happens because of an over-eager exception handler that masks the actual error.

The actual error is that getEl in Exceptions.OrderFailedException is not defined. And indeed, the msg parameter there is a simple array:

[ '9050', '', 'Die Nachricht enthält Fehler.' ]

This of course is super helpful.

I'd be happy to help debugging this further if anyone's interested. Sadly, I do not know HBCI enough to even start guessing what to try here. But at least that over-eager exception handler and the getEl call should probably be fixed, I guess.

would love to see credit card transactions from DKB

I've an account at DKB as well, but credit cards don't use the HBCI standard, but the reference account for the credit card should work.
HBCI is a german standard, maintained by the ZKA. Credit cards are using an international standard (SET and others).
