The tab "Create operations" → "Batch files" allows you to create several operations with the help of a batch file. To create operations, collect operation data such as the credit card number, amount and currency in a batch file, which you can then upload to Computop Analytics. If you upload a batch file to Computop Analytics, Computop Paygate will carry out the operations saved in the batch file. Following processing, you can export the information about the processing status of the batch file. You can export the search results as an Excel file.
"Optional" flag
Functions that are flagged as "optional" within Computop Analytics might not be enabled within Analytics you are using. Computop Sales will be happy to enable these functions for you when necessary.
The batch manager (optional) can help you compile and use batch files.
Batch files
A detailed description of the format and use of batch files can be found in the chapter of the programming manual that covers the batch manager at the end of the paymethod documentation for each paymethod.
Some paymethods require specific parameters that must be included in the batch file being uploaded.
The specific parameters of the paymethod for the batch file are described at the end of the respective chapter covering the paymethods, under the heading "Using the interface for batch processing".Overview of the search criteria
Following processing, you can search for the batch file with the information about the processing status of the operations created, and export it as a batch file. This gives you the option of analysing errors occurring during the creation of operations with the help of a batch file.
