This section describes the fixed specification format of the Batch Upload File and the Batch Result File. Both of these are ASCII text files with fixed field record structure where each transaction is recorded as a single line in the text file.
The Batch Upload File can be uploaded either from the iVeri BackOffice or by using the iVeriClient software (the latter applies to Enterprise merchants only). The Batch Result File can be downloaded through these same mechanisms.
The Batch Result File is available for download only after processing of the batch has completed. Note that the Reconciliation Status of the individual transactions might not yet be updated, since the reconciliation process only occur the day after processing.
