Appendix C - Flat File Formats with Examples

If your Company is not using the standard XML format files to transmit data to TIBCO Reward, but is instead using flat files (non-XML files in which the values are separated by commas, tabs, spaces, or bars, or in which values are positionally defined), refer to the flat file examples in this appendix. If TIBCO Reward has specified that a flat file is the standard format (rather than XML), then the standard flat file format is presented in Batch File Integration, and is not included in this appendix.

Fundamental information about the content of files is provided in Batch File Integration. Also note that much information about the data elements and data hierarchy prescribed for each batch file can be obtained from the XML schema documentation. See TIBCO Reward’s XML namespace: http://www.instorecard.com/schema/v1/RetailIntegration.
