Configure Delivery Formats and Methods

Specify the formats and methods that are possible options for data owners to deliver data to data consumers. Combine methods and formats to create data presentations. The formats and methods you specify are available to data owners when they create data collections in the Data Marketplace.

You must be a Data Marketplace Administrator to perform this task.

You can create several formats for data delivery. For example, if you specify JSON and XML as delivery formats, data owners must deliver data to consumers in JSON or XML format.

Similarly, you can specify the methods that data owners can use to deliver data. For example, if you specify FTP, email, and API as delivery methods, data owners can choose one of these three options to deliver data.

The data owners cannot select any combination of format or method to deliver data. You must create a combination of format and method to create a unique data presentation. For example, you can create the following data presentations:

•Data Presentation 1: JSON format and email delivery

•Data Presentation 2: JSON format and FTP delivery

•Data Presentation 3: XML format and email delivery

•Data Presentation 4: JSON format and API delivery

In this example, if a data owner chooses the JSON format, the available delivery options are email, FTP, and API. If the data owner chooses the XML format, only the email delivery option is available.
