Transaction and Customer Sample Files
The preferred format is an XML file corresponding to the requirements of
the XSD schema (ISCLog.xsd).This file format is based on ARTS/IXRetail data
model, and this is the preferred format for the Transaction files received from
clients. TIBCO Reward can also transform Transaction files sent in other
formats so that they can be used to supply the necessary transaction data.
TIBCO Reward has extensive experience in performing such transformations.
Samples of some transaction files appear below. Each sample is followed
by a corresponding table that shows the sample file format and its data
formatting parameters.
Typically, a client company provides a sample file and a formatting
table to indicate the data and formatting it will provide in its transactions
files. The file format samples and tables convey information about the fields
in their native file format. The client and TIBCO Reward must formally agree on
the information provided in these tables, and TIBCO Reward must be able to use
the sample files (after any agreed-upon transformations).
When a live Transaction file is imported by TIBCO Reward, any required
transformations are performed automatically, based on the understanding that
each transaction file will always follow the formatting guidelines established
and documented in the tables. Each live file is transformed (as necessary) and
ultimately processed as part of a TIBCO Reward ISCLog file.
Note: A client must notify TIBCO Reward any time there is a change in the
format of this file.
