Processing Outbound Files
To send files out, you:
Run a process that moves all the outbound files to the outbound staging tables.
Run the process to create a flat file from the data in the staging tables.
Send the flat file to the CPS, using outbound file processes to send ISIR corrections, add institution requests, and FAFSA signature files.
This section discusses how to:

Outbound File Path |
Enter the location of the generated files. Make sure the application server has access to the file location. |
Outbound File Type |
Select the file type of the files to be generated. The supported file types are listed with associated message class or output file name: ISIR Corrections, CORR0XIN.XXX FAFSA Signatures, SIGS0XIN.XXX Pell Origination - Phase-In, PGORxxIN Pell Data Request, PGRQxxIN Pell Disbursement - Phase-In, PGDRxxIN |
The FA Outbound process selects records in the outbound staging tables and names the files in the appropriate message class. If multiple files of the same message class are generated, the file name extension is incremented to ensure uniqueness, such as CORR05IN.001. so that files are not overwritten.
