Document Delivery Rule

Description

1

Unique Output Document Name

Each output document must have a unique name in the directory in which it is created.

Each output document is created in a specific directory. As a result, there will be instances where another file already exists in the directory. Giving each output document a unique name will prevent the overwriting of output documents.

2

Version Number (in header)

The first characters in the output document must be an ASCII representation of the version number.

The version number is currently 101.

Note: If a change is made the version number will be incremented.

The version number will be followed by a NULL character.

3

Header

The header:

Must immediately follow the version number and NULL character.

Will be an XML data structure that contains the destination filename and extra commands that may be required for:

HTTP or network delivery.

FTP delivery.

The destination will be NULL terminated, followed by a carriage return and line feed.

4

Content

All content to deliver to the remote is located after the:

Version number,

Destination file name (included in header)

Separating carriage return and

Line feed.

Note: The version number and destination filename will be removed from the document before it is sent to the remote location.
