GLN_API gln_status_t GLN_CALL gln_submit_transfer(
    gln_backend_t*                       in_backend,
    const gln_submit_transfer_request_t* in_request,
    gln_backend_result_t**               out_result);

Family: Backend operations
Return type: gln_status_t

Purpose

gln_submit_transfer submits a SEPA transfer through a FinTS or EBICS backend and returns a gln_backend_result_t envelope.

Backend support is operation-specific. Use gln_check_backend_operation_support to check whether a backend supports this operation before calling it. Unsupported operations return an envelope whose status is GLN_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED.

When To Use

Use this operation for regular SEPA transfers. Use gln_submit_instant_transfer for immediate-only FinTS instant transfers.

FinTS may require TAN, decoupled approval, or VoP confirmation before a success envelope exists. EBICS success submissions expose order/provider status instead of FinTS VoP fields.

Call Contract

GLN_OK from the function means an envelope was produced in *out_result; it does not mean the backend operation succeeded. Inspect the envelope with gln_get_backend_result_outcome, gln_get_backend_result_status, and gln_get_backend_result_kind.

out_result == NULL is the no-envelope invalid-argument case. In that case the function returns GLN_ERR_INVALID_ARG directly.

For gln_submit_transfer_request_t, initialize the struct with gln_default_submit_transfer_request. The request carries source identity, recipient identity, amount, currency, purpose, optional end_to_end_reference_or_null, and optional requested_execution_date_or_null; the default helper sets currency to EUR.

The parameter table is binding for required handles and output slots.

Return

Returns GLN_OK when the call produced a gln_backend_result_t envelope in out_result. Operation success, caller action, provider rejection, and operation errors are reported inside that envelope.

Parameters

Name	Direction	Type	Nullability	Ownership
`in_backend`	input	`gln_backend_t*`	nonnull	borrowed
`in_request`	input	`const gln_submit_transfer_request_t*`	nonnull	borrowed
`out_result`	output	`gln_backend_result_t**`	nonnull	transferred_out

Success Result

Successful operation envelopes have outcome GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_SUCCESS, status GLN_OK, and kind GLN_BACKEND_RESULT_KIND_TRANSFER_SUBMISSION.

Borrow the typed success view with gln_get_backend_result_transfer_submission.

Use gln_get_backend_result_transfer_submission only when the envelope outcome is GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_SUCCESS and the kind is GLN_BACKEND_RESULT_KIND_TRANSFER_SUBMISSION.

Action-required envelopes carry interrupt details and a continuation instead of this typed success view. TAN and decoupled continuations can be resumed to produce a later success envelope; unsupported VoP confirmation resume paths return the envelope described under Outcomes.

FinTS success submissions expose status and optional VoP fields, return NULL for gln_get_transfer_submission_id, and expose no provider-status rows. EBICS success submissions expose status, optional order ID, and EBICS provider-status rows; EBICS VoP fields are NULL.

Outcomes

GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_SUCCESS: read the GLN_BACKEND_RESULT_KIND_TRANSFER_SUBMISSION typed view.
GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_ACTION_REQUIRED: FinTS transfer flows can require caller action, usually a TAN, decoupled step, or VoP confirmation. TAN and decoupled continuations follow the normal resume path; unsupported VoP confirmation resume paths return an envelope from gln_resume_continuation with status GLN_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED and issue type unsupported_vop_confirmation_backend. Inspect gln_get_backend_result_interrupt_info. For TAN and decoupled action requirements, take the continuation with gln_take_backend_result_continuation and resume with gln_resume_continuation.
GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_REJECTED: inspect gln_get_backend_result_status and gln_get_backend_result_error for provider rejection details.
GLN_BACKEND_OUTCOME_ERROR: inspect gln_get_backend_result_status and gln_get_backend_result_error. Other backends use this outcome with status GLN_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED.

Ownership And Lifetime

The envelope returned through out_result is caller-owned and must be released with gln_destroy_backend_result.

Typed views, result rows or fields, borrowed strings, and the JSON string are borrowed from the envelope. They become invalid when the envelope is destroyed. Copy strings or row data before destroying the envelope when the caller needs to keep them.

For action-required envelopes, gln_get_backend_result_interrupt_info returns borrowed interrupt details. gln_take_backend_result_continuation transfers continuation ownership to the caller; destroy that continuation with gln_destroy_continuation after it has been saved or resumed.
