Given a time range, you can identify and track multiple SLVP transactions using Get Changed Payment Transactions API (existing GPI API v4)
Given a UETR, you can update SLVP transaction status using Status Confirmation Update API (new API for SLVP)
You can consume the SLVP API with either the SWIFT SDK or the SWIFT Microgateway. However, you can NOT consume this API with gpi Connector.
