D.4.5 inbox Subdirectory

The inbox subdirectory within the ingestion_manager directory is an electronic mailbox or queue in which the Oracle client writes its data files for subsequent processing by Data Management subsystem Data Pre-processor components.

Each Market or Firm Data Pre-processor retrieves the file it is assigned to process from the inbox subdirectory and then moves the file to the appropriate extract subdirectory for Pre-processing. The DIS describes the naming convention and content of each data file that an Oracle client provides.
