Feature overview

Goals

The aim of the Account Report FTP Push feature is to enable Enterprises to receive the reports assigned to their Accounts via FTP push.

Out of scope

• FTP push of CSP Reports

• Other delivery mechanisms for Account Reports

• Charge generation for the Report Push service

• Any one-off check of the endpoint credentials when configured in the Account onboarding

Preconditions & Assumptions

• The feature will push all assigned Account Reports to one FTP destination for an Account with the feature configured

• The feature will not allow to select the reports to be pushed, i.e. either all assigned Account Reports are pushed or none

• The FTP location is the same as FTP pushed invoices location

Functionality of the feature

Push Account Reports is an advanced feature. When the feature is

• disabled, no Push Account Report capability is provided by CMP,

• enabled, Push Account Reports feature can be configured per Account on Account onboarding.

Note that the Account Report FTP Push feature can be enabled/disabled for an Account in any Account lifecycle state.

If Push Account Reports is enabled on the Account, CMP provides fields to capture FTP parameters and credentials, that can be updated in any Account lifecycle state.

Additionally, CMP allows to specify Proxy Settings for the Remote Storage location if necessary, however, this is fully optional.

Note that defining Remote Storage and Proxy settings might require integration, to enable CMP to connect to the remote host and push the required files through.

After each report creation cycle, if configured accordingly, all of the Account Reports allocated to the Account are pushed to the chosen FTP destination. In the case of a failure, CMP will retry the report transfer up to the maximum number of retries specified in the Account FTP parameters.

CMP will report on the status of the Report Push and the Enterprise Account User will be notified via Enterprise Portal Notifications. The notification will display

• the total number of reports included in the push attempt,

• the number of successful reports,

• the number of failures, and

• the reason for the failure (error message).
