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.
