"Best practice" for Version 3, Conformance Class 3 and ENGPART Messages
Even if the ENGDAT module offers you more options, you should use Conformance Class 3 messages in only one of the following two ways.
Upload a file in Overview, but then only specify a file name in Container (without uploading).
Only specify a file name in Overview and then upload files in Container.
In the second variant, a regular zip with containing files like for example ENG + <MID> + <file counter> + <current file counter> + <number of 'contained files'> + <current file counter 'contained file'> is created. The fields Compression, File size(compressed) in KB and File size in KB are set automatically after validation.
ENGPART
If you do not want to automatically synchronize your partner contacts, but instead want to preview and/or modify the changes beforehand, get the ENGPART message via email. ENGPART V4.1 is an XML file that you can import with the Integration Unit EngpartIU, which synchronizes your address database. For this purpose, the input encoding UTF8 and the data format API must be specified in the profile!
