Data Files Sent To and From TIBCO Reward
TIBCO Reward accepts data from clients in XML, flat delimited ASCII files, or flat fixed-format ASCII files. While any of these formats can be accepted and processed, certain data is required, such as the key data that identifies each shopper. If flat ASCII files are sent, they must not have extraneous line feeds. XML files are much less prone to error and require less maintenance over the medium and long term.
TIBCO Reward also delivers data files to clients. There are two options for delivery: XML or a flat delimited ASCII file. The client downloads these files from their FromInStorecard directory on TIBCO Reward’s secured server on a daily or weekly basis. After downloading these files, the client must delete them.
