Methods for Sending Pricing Data

You can send pricing data in these ways:

• Online in real time. This method is associated with online pages.

  When data from the online pages is saved, the changed data is sent to the external systems. This result occurs only for active EIPs.

• Using batch publish. Use the Pricing Data Publish page to select the pricing data to send to external systems.

  To use this method, you must set up Batch Publish Rules (samples rules are provided).

  Note:

  On the Pricing Data Publishing page, you must provide at least one value to select the data. All other fields are optional.

• Using the Full Table Publish method. You can send all pricing data using this method.

  The pricing data in the target system is replaced. To use this option, you must configure Full Data Publish Rules.

• Using flat files. When setting up the Batch Publish Rule or Full Table Publish Rule, you can save the published data to flat files, and then load the flat files from the source system. You can use the Inbound File Publish utility to load the file from the source system.
