Detect new files that are closed (not still in FTP transfer process)
Lookup owner (If no record = OPEN), territory (if no record = N/A), region (if no record = N/A) and division (if no record = N/A) based on information from another table based on county and/or zip code information (Switch-able between county and zip) (all additional data in one table in the same DB), Uses numerical data from file name as a batch number and this is included in the insert. (Table script and test data will be supplied.)
Bulk Load (NO transaction logging) the combined data into a single SQL server table on settable host machine name (Target table create script will be supplied for testing)
Move loaded file to one of two directories Pass/Failed (are subdirectories of the original location) Zero error rate or fail. On fail delete all rows that have been inserted based on the batch number. Retry attempts to be settable.
Enter transaction data (batch number, same as file name) & results into a log table (same DB) (Table create script will be supplied for testing)
Settings can be in a text file an interface is not required.
Runs as a service. Notifies desktop if it shuts down by error text box and event log entry start and stop events in the application event log.
