Delivery options

You can configure the delivery options that stakeholders of a data collection can use to deliver data to the Data Users that ordered the data.
The following image shows the relationship between the delivery options that you can create in Data Marketplace: Image depicting the relationship between delivery options.
Delivery format
Configure a format in which a stakeholder of a data collection can deliver the data to the Data User.
For example, if you create JSON and XML as delivery formats, the stakeholders must deliver the data in JSON or XML format.
For more information about how you can configure a delivery format, see Creating delivery formats.
Delivery method
Configure a method that a stakeholder of a data collection can use to deliver the data to the Data User.
For example, if you configure FTP, email, and API as the delivery methods, a stakeholder of a data collection can select one of the three options as the delivery method to deliver the data.
For more information about how you can configure a delivery method, see Creating delivery methods.
Delivery template
Combine several delivery formats and delivery methods to create a unique delivery template.
For example, if you create JSON and XML as delivery formats and configure FTP, email, and API as the delivery methods, you can combine these to create the following delivery templates:
For more information about how you can create a new delivery template, see Creating delivery templates.
Delivery target
Stakeholders of data collections use delivery templates to create new delivery targets for their data collections. A delivery target is unique to the data collection for which it was created. Even if the same delivery template is used to create multiple delivery targets, Data Marketplace classifies each target as a unique delivery option.
For more information, see the Specifying delivery targets for data collection topic in the Working with Data Collections help.
