At Production execution of an outbound delivery offer, if Generate export file is checked at the channel, an export file will be generated in accordance with the channel and its export template settings. Note that values RPContactID and ChannelExecutionID are added at the beginning of each row in the export file. If Generate export file is unchecked, an export file is not generated. However, offer history records are written as expected.
If Use content was checked at the channel through which the offer is executed, additional files are created in accordance with the offer's content:
•RPI_Export_[CHANNELEXECUTION_ID]_Content.txt
•RPI_Export_[CHANNELEXECUTION_ID]_Source.txt)
Any pre-processed dynamic content is added at the end of each row in the export file, using the channel's configured Start and End tag delimiters.
The table used to import and process channel states data will be automatically created during execution of the channel sync task, with the following prefix:
RPI_ CDS_<GUID>
Once the import of states data is complete, the table will be dropped.
If the channel's Import state results via DM property is checked, channel state results can be collated as per the following:
A file containing state results can be placed in the folder defined by the channel's State results folder property, in order to be processed by the Redpoint Data Management job defined at the channel's RPDM Repository path. .txt and .csv file types are supported, and the structure of the state results file to be imported must match that defined at the Redpoint Data Management project. A header row is also required. Channel results are processed on execution of the Outbound Delivery channel's synchronization task, which is responsible for reading in delivery state data (in accordance with definition of the same at the channel). Once channel results have been processed, the file is deleted.
If Import state results via DM is unchecked, execution of the Outbound Delivery channel sync task does not result in collation of state results.
A sample Redpoint Data Management project is available at:
DeploymentFiles\DataManagement Macros\Channel Synch Loads\OutboundDelivery_v4.dlp.
The project can be customized to clients' specific requirements.
If configured, Realtime in Outbound can be used to vary delivered content served by an outbound delivery channel.
