Flat File Structure
In the file each row represents one account (with exception of multi-valued values). Each column has the ability to hold values of data that are associated with the account and are of a certain fixed order. These columns should be in the same order as the Account Schema. Their data can be "left blank" as long as the fields are not required. The file should be sorted based on the Account ID attribute. This is especially important for handling multi-valued attributes.
The first row of the file is the header of the file, and will not be read.
Example:
|
id |
name |
givenName |
familyName |
... |
This header row will be skipped |
