- Place files being sent to KFS in the upload directory. The download directory will contain any files sent from KFS to your system.
- The file name must start with the file type to correctly identify it (kfsgl_, kfspdp_, kfschk_, fs_, pal_)
- It would be useful to end the file names with a timestamp before the extension.
- For example kfsdailykfsgl_201211301619.xml (for Collector XML file) or kfsdailykfsgl_201211301619.data (Collector flat file), the timestamp in this case is November 30th, 2012 4:19 pm.
- The reason why this is preferable as opposed to using a static file name is because in KFS you can upload multiple files and this way you do not overwrite an existing file that has not been processed. KFS will process the multiple files together.
- If your system will be using the GL Black Box please use the prefix fs_ along with the .gl dat extension, for example fsdailyfs_201311301619.gldat.
- If your system will be using the PDP Black Box please use the extension .pdpprefix pal_ along with the .dat extension, for example paymentspal_201311301619.pdpdat.
Once a file is moved from XFER to the KFS staging area it will be renamed with a .staged file extension. These files will be removed from the server probably once a month.
