CreationDirect: Change to file naming convention
Effective
15 October 2016
Clearstream Banking will change the naming convention of files delivered via CreationDirect to ensure that file names are unique.
The GROUPID part of the name will be replaced by REPORTDID.
| Current | Description | New | Description |
| ACCOUNT | Customer account number (5 digits) or MULTI if multiple accounts are included | ACCOUNT | Customer account number (5 digits) or MULTI if multiple accounts are included |
| CUSTOMERREPORT NAME | Customer Report Name | CUSTOMERREPORT NAME | Customer Report Name |
| REPTYP | Report Type | REPTYP | Report Type |
| FREQ | Report Frequency | FREQ | Report Frequency |
| MODE | Either Complete or Delta | MODE | Either Complete or Delta |
| ENDPERIOD | Business day processing time (HHMM) | ENDPERIOD | Business day processing time (HHMM) |
| BDATE | Business Date (YYYYMMDD) | BDATE | Business Date (YYYYMMDD) |
| GROUPID | a number uniquely identifying the scheduled report (in CreationOnline) | REPORTID | a number uniquely identifying the generated report (internal technical number) |
| EXT | File extension (PDF, ISO, XLS, CSV or TXT) | EXT | File extension (PDF, ISO, XLS, CSV or TXT) |
The content of the files will not change as a result of this update, only the filename.
If you currently do not process the GROUPID, then the change is fully transparent and no action is required on your side.
The change will ensure that files will not be overwritten in the filestore.
