Ancillary Data Feeds

The following are specifications for sending data outside of ONIX to Above the Treeline through an FTP delivered data feed.

Feed format

All ancillary feeds should be sent as DOS-formatted tab delimited text (strongly preferred) or as Excel files with the first row of data being a header row representing the names of each column of data. The field names for each data element are defined in each feed’s spec below, and all prescribed field names/columns must be present in that feed, even if they are not required and you’re not providing any values for them.

The names of the feeds should be standardized with the Feed Name (see below for names) followed by the “_” character and a date stamp in MMDDYY format. Lastly, a sequence number should be appended to the filename. If only one file is sent in a given day for a given type, the sequence number will be “_1”. This number should be incremented if additional files are sent. The file extension for all feeds is “.txt” for delimited files and “.xls” for Excel files.

In summary the feed file requirements are:

Transmission and Processing

All ancillary feeds need to be pushed to the Edelweiss FTP server at ftp.abovethetreeline.com. Please contact Above the Treeline if you need an account setup for this, as well as if/whenever you post a brand new type of ancillary feed; our technical support team needs to configure your account in order to auto-process all new types of feeds.

Feeds need to be placed in the /edelweiss/import_data/ folder. This folder will be monitored by an automated process and feeds will typically be processed within an hour of receiving them, though this processing window is subject to change and may be delayed if the volume of feeds needing to be processed is especially high.

Processed feeds will be moved to the /edelweiss/import_data/processed folder and kept there for 3 months. The individual at your organization responsible for posting ancillary feeds may also be set up to receive the automatic alert email that lets them know if their file was successfully processed. Contact support@abovethetreeline.com if you need to add or update this feed recipient list or are posting a new type of ancillary feed for the first time.

In summary the key information for feed processing is:

If you would like to post a particular feed to update an Edelweiss market that is not your default market, contact support@abovethetreeline.com to ask for a new market-specific subfolder to be created within your import_data folder. For example, if you are a US publisher but would like to supply unique title content for the UK market, we will create a UK subfolder within your import_data folder, and that’s where you’ll post all UK-specific ancillary feeds.

Description

This feed consists of comparison/comparable products for a parent product and relates by Product_SKU to the Product Feed. Multiple comparison products may be sent per SKU.

When sending comp titles, all Related_SKUs for a Product_SKU must be sent in each feed. The feed processor will delete any/all comp titles that currently exist in the system for the Product_SKUs that are sent in that feed. The equence that the comps appear in the feed will determine their sequence in Edelweiss.

When sending related products, all records with the same Product_SKU and Relationship_Type must be sent in each feed. The feed processor will initially delete any related products for each SKU/Type combination sent before ingesting the new related products.

The only Related Product Relationship Type (see spec below) that will end up as an Edelweiss Comp Title is the Comparison type. All others, e.g. Backlist, Display, etc., will display in Edelweiss in the Related Products section.

As of April 2014, select Related Products that appear in your ONIX feeds may be used in lieu of being sent through a Related_Products feed. These include relation codes 03 (Replaces) as Previous Edition Comp titles, 06 (Alternative format) as Other Format Related Products, 15 (Epub) as Ebook Related Products, and 23 (Similar product) as Also Available Related Product or Comp. Contact support@abovethetreeline.com if you’d like us to start processing your ONIX Related Product data or would like a current list of RPs that can be processed via ONIX.

Note: All fields/columns listed below must be included, even if/when there’s no data for them and they’re not required. This includes the field names/column headers.

No

If you need to do a mass delete of any Related Products that were previously posted in one of these feeds, use the value *DELETE* in the RelationshipType of RelationshipSubType fields. If you post *DELETE* in the RelationshipType field, this will delete all Related Products of any type that match that ISBN pairing. If you put it in the RelationshipSubType field, it will only delete it for the record with that specific RelationshipType.

Product Rights Feed

Description

The Product Rights Feed can be used to send us Sales Rights information that can be exported from Edelweiss via Custom Exports, PDF/print exports, and Template Builder. While Sales Rights information processed from ONIX appears on your titles in Edelweiss, it is currently not used in any of these exports, as the data is often not as structured or short as required by our export specs.

Data from the Product Rights Feed will not be visible in Edelweiss. This information is only for use in exports.

Feed File Name Product_Rights_[YYYYMMDD]_[SEQUENCE].txt
(e.g.) Product_Rights_20190329_1.txt

The PrintRun Feed can be used to send us Announced First Print Run, aka Initial Print Run, information that can either be displayed publicly or privately – just to your internal publisher users – on your titles in Edelweiss. It may also be exported from Edelweiss via Custom Exports, PDF/print exports, and Document Builder.

Note that we can also process this information using the InitialPrintRun ONIX node <k167> from ONIX; when we do, this will always be displayed publically.

Document Builder Feed

Title content loaded here does not impact the display of your title information on Edelweiss. This feed is unique in that any number of title attributes may be included. The primary requirement is that, aside from the first SKU or ISBN column, each column header, or field name, simply has to match an existing Document Builder Custom Data Element for that organization in order to be imported.

A Document Builder Admin or User may also directly import the contents of this file from the Document Builder Home page in the Custom Data Elements section.

Note that this feed is auto-processed every hour.

Catalog Maintenance Feeds

The following feeds may be used by publishers who want to automate the creation and maintenance of the basic catalog data within Edelweiss. These feeds define which catalogs exist and which products appear in those catalogs. They can also be used to update the status of catalogs.

Catalogs also can be created and updated via the admin interfaces in Edelweiss. Publishers using the admin interface may choose to not send these feeds.


Catalog Summary Feed

Description

This feed is made up of single or multi-record data representing a unique catalog or catalogs. There should be a matching Catalog Items Feed for each record in this feed.

Catalog Items Feed

Description

This feed represents all products within a catalog or a marketing collection. The data consists of a single record for each product in a catalog. The feed may contain data from more than one catalog or collection. A recommended practice would be to include all catalogs for a season (or some active time period) in this feed and in the corresponding Catalog Summary feed.

Feed File Name Catalog_Items_[YYYYMMDD]_[SEQUENCE].txt
(e.g.) Catalog_Items_20190329_1.txt

For collections, this determines the order of products within the collection itself.
No
Page_Span Numeric The number of catalog pages that this product spans.
Not used for collections.
No

Marketing Collections Feed

Description

This feed is used to create “collections” of titles that can be used within a catalog for promotional or organizational purposes. The collection itself is essentially a catalog embedded in another catalog along with additional descriptive content that is displayed. All titles in a collection may also exist in the catalog to which the collection is related but they are not required to be present. Whether or not they do exist may depend on the display logic used for the template (more info regarding this to come soon).

Catalogs with collections will default to be sorted in the publisher preferred order. This will allow for collections to be seen in the way there were intended. End users can override the default sort which will have varying effects on the display of the collection depending on the template used.
