Data requirements for real time transaction files

Files used with the Real time data source connector must be in fixed width format. The following requirements apply.

  • One field must be an ID field used for an audience level, and this must be the first field in each record in the file.
  • One field must be a timestamp field.
  • Spaces must be used for padding where necessary to make a field of the length specified in the Real time file connector. Padding may be either before or after the data.
