ISO8583 support

Sending ISO8583 messages with SOAPUI...

We're interested in using SOAPUI for our testing purposes and currently use Versatest simulator to send ISO8583 protocol messages. Searching the SOAPUI functionality it doesn't seem that these types of messages are suppported. Does anyone know if it's possible to use SOAPUI to sends messages using ISO8583 protocol? Thanks in advance...

    what is the use case? How do you send the message normally? Do think this communication can be done in Java or something then you may use groovy script step. Otherwise I dont see any relevant steps available in soapui related to your query.

    The use case is a Financial message coming from a MASTERCARD switch for instance. See below for an example message (raw):
