# Integration toolkit

# Introduction

Our integration toolkit is a collection of tools which provide solutions to non-standard setups.

While we strongly recommend and encourage you to adopt to us, naturally we can also adopt to you and your solutions/middleware/systems.

NOTE: If you wish to inquire about any of these additional services, please reach out to your account representative at Pagero or open a support ticket.

# Custom directory structure (SFTP)

Custom directory structures in the context of SFTP refer to tailored organization systems implemented by users to efficiently manage and navigate their files and folders within the Secure File Transfer Protocol environment.

Unlike standard directory structures, which follow a predefined hierarchy, custom structures allow users to arrange directories according to their specific needs, preferences, or workflow requirements.

By creating custom directory structures, users can categorize files based on project, department, client, or any other relevant criteria, enhancing accessibility and facilitating streamlined file management.

This customization enables users to maintain a more organized and intuitive file system, promoting efficiency, collaboration, and ease of file retrieval within the SFTP environment.

# Envelopes & batchers

In the context of file transmission over the internet, a technical envelope refers to a structured format or container that encapsulates the data being transferred along with any necessary metadata or additional information required for successful transmission and processing.

This envelope typically includes elements such as headers, footers, control information, error detection and correction codes, encryption parameters, and any other relevant details needed to ensure the integrity, security, and interoperability of the transmitted data.

We currently support the following envelope and batching technologies:

SBDH
SOAP
TAR
ZIP
XHE

Technical envelopes serve as a standardized framework that facilitates communication between different systems, applications, or protocols by providing a consistent structure for organizing and exchanging data. They help ensure that transmitted files are properly formatted, secure, and compliant with the specifications and requirements of the communication protocol being used.

# Technical receipts

Technical receipts or acknowledgments in the context of file transmission refer to automated responses or notifications sent by the receiving system to confirm the successful receipt and processing of transmitted data.

These acknowledgments serve as a form of feedback to the sender, providing assurance that the data was received intact and that the intended recipient is aware of its arrival.

Technical receipts typically include information such as the timestamp of receipt, the sender's identification, details of the transmitted data (such as filename, size, and checksum), and any relevant status or error codes indicating the outcome of the transmission (e.g., success, failure, or partial success).

By providing acknowledgments, sender systems can verify the delivery status of their transmissions and take appropriate actions in case of any errors or issues encountered during the process. This helps ensure data integrity, reliability, and accountability in file transmission workflows.

# Pre-processing services

Pre-processing services in the context of file transmission typically involve a set of operations or transformations applied to data before it is transmitted to its intended destination.

These services are designed to prepare the data for efficient transmission, enhance its quality, or adapt it to meet the requirements of the receiving system or application.

Examples of pre-processing services include:

Data validation: Checking the integrity, format, and correctness of the data to ensure that it meets predefined standards or specifications. This may involve verifying data types, enforcing constraints, or detecting errors that could potentially disrupt the transmission process.
Data transformation: Converting the data from one format or structure to another to ensure compatibility with the receiving system or application. This may involve converting between different file formats, encoding schemes, or character sets to facilitate seamless integration and interpretation of the transmitted data.
Data enrichment: Enhancing the data by adding additional information, context, or metadata to enrich its value or usefulness to the recipient. This may involve augmenting the data with supplementary details, such as timestamps, geolocation data, or descriptive tags, to provide additional context or insights.

Overall, pre-processing services play a crucial role in streamlining the file transmission process, improving data quality, and ensuring seamless interoperability between different systems or applications involved in the data exchange.
