Summary of data delivered task

This Services Framework task creates a summary of data delivered report that contains detailed information for every outbound transmission that was processed by Distribution. This report is required by Canadian processing standards. You can use this task to automate sending the summary of data delivered reports.

Canadian payment processing requires a summary of data delivered report to be sent for each outbound transmission. The task uses the configured working directory to create a set of files that contains information about the specific transmission. The files that are created are a text file, a route file, and an EOF file. The text file is an English-only, ASCII-encoded file that is the summary of data delivered report. The route file contains relevant information about the report in XML format. The EOF file is used to indicate that the processing is complete. When the outbound transmission is sent, all of these files are copied to the target directory that was configured.

Distribution can run this task when an outbound transmission is sent by placing a message on the queue that Services Framework listens on. When Services Framework receives the message, the task runs. The task can also be run manually from the user interface.

You can use the task activity page to monitor the task as it runs and restart it if necessary. The outbound transmissions page also has a column that indicates whether the summary of data delivered report was generated successfully for a transmission.
