File Naming Convention For All Messages

A source file is made up of 3 identifiers and a file extension.

  1. The CLIENT_ID is a 4 character uppercase value that Netsmart will provide. (ex. TLXX)
  2. The PAYLOAD_ID is a 3 to 5 character uppercase value that describes the content type or 'payload' of the file. (ex. PAYER, AUTH)
  3. The DateTime is a 14 digit integer. (ex. 20180601223007) 
  4. The file extension is a 3 character lowercase value that describes the file type. (ex.  txt, xml) (for X12/EDI files, use extension .edi)

Each of the 3 identifiers and the file extension are evaluated and provide both routing and transformation functionality.
