Update of exchange rates

You can directly access the data of the ECB or use the CurrencyLayer web service. The data of the ECB is freely available, but supports only 31 currencies. ECB is the standard.

CurrencyLayer requires a free registration at https://currencylayer.com. The FreePlan offers 1000 que­ries per month, so updates are no problem.

The PSA_CUR_EXC_UPD_IPL variable lets you configure the service to be used for updating the exchange rate. For CurrencyLayer, the API key needs to be placed in the PSA_CUR_LAY_API_KEY variable.

Using the dynJava PSA_CUR_EXC_UPD or by the PSA_CUR_EXC_UPD job (Update exchange rates), the updates can be executed.
