Secondary RDF Reference

๐Ÿ‘

Notice

These new RDFs are in an introductory state, and so this guide contains preliminary information that will be updated as the RDFs are further refined.

This page contains details about each of the secondary RDFs, which contain all of the possible fields for each of the standard RDFs instead of a curated subset. Unlike the standard RDFs, the secondary RDFs are CSV (comma-separated-value) files. If you are already receiving the standard RDFs you can switch to the secondary RDFs by request. Keep in mind that you would have to refactor your RDF intake process to account for the comma separation, the additional number of fields, and in some cases the new field order.

๐Ÿ“˜

Note

New fields will be appended to these files as the need arises. For new data elements (DEs), Galileo will add them periodically as the networks provide them and will communicate these additions prior to their implementation. You can also request additional fields, subject to approval, by submitting a client request.

Customer Master RDF

The Customer Master RDF is a list of all of your primary account holders. The first Customer Master RDF that you receive contains all of your account records. The RDFs after that contain only the new records and the changed records from the previous day.

This table contains all possible fields for the Customer Master RDF. The primary key for this file is GALILEO ACCOUNT ID + UNIQUE PROGRAM ID. All DATETIME fields have the format MMDDYYYY hh24:mm:ss. "Signed" amounts have a + (credit) or - (debit) sign after the amount to indicate which way the funds moved relative to the account, for example: 30.25- for a debit or 23.67+ for a credit.

Account Card RDF

The Account Card RDF is a list of all cards that you have issued. The first Account Card RDF that you receive contains all of your card records. The RDFs after that contain only the new records and the changed records from the previous day.

๐Ÿ“˜

Note

Any changes to a card record, including resetting the PIN fail count by a backend process, results in the card record being included in the differential file. Some of these changes are not reflected in the data in the RDF.

Authorized Transactions RDF

The Authorized Transactions RDF contains transactions that passed through the authorization stream during the previous day. These transactions include authorization requests, AVS-only checks, reversal advices and completion advices. This RDF does not include these authorization events:

  • Mastercard Banknet merchant credits (adjustments)
  • Visa Money Transfer and ReadyLink card loads (payments)

Only a subset of the transactions in this RDF will also be included in a Posted Transactions RDF. For example, authorization reversals, AVS-only checks, and denied transactions are not in the Posted Transactions RDF because they do not settle.

Foreign authorizations

When a transaction takes place in a country that is foreign relative to the account's country, the AUTHORIZATION AMOUNT is in the currency of the account. For example, if an account is located in the United States and the cardholder makes a purchase in Canada, the AUTHORIZATION AMOUNT is in U.S. dollars and the TRANSACTION CURRENCY CODE is 124 (Canadian dollar). The currency conversion is performed by the card network, and it reflects the conversion rate at the time of the authorization.

Keep in mind that some online merchants conduct business in the currency of the customer instead of the location of the merchant, depending on where the customer is located. For example, a website that is based in the U.K. could have a U.S. version of its website, and so transactions on that version would be conducted in U.S. dollars.

For examples of foreign transactions see International transaction in Card Transaction Examples and these scenarios:

Authorized Transactions RDF fields

This table contains the default fields for the Authorized Transactions RDF. The primary key for this file is UNIQUE PROGRAM ID + AUTHORIZATION CODE + NETWORK CODE.

The Source column indicates where the value came from: Galileo-provided or a data element (DE) in the ISO 8583 message from the network. The actual DE number for a field may vary by network, and not all DEs are present for all networks.

"Signed" amounts have a + (credit) or - (debit) sign after the amount to indicate which way the funds moved relative to the account, for example: 30.25- for a debit or 23.67+ for a credit.

Posted Transactions RDF

The Posted Transactions RDF contains every transaction that has posted to a customer account during a 24-hour period: settlements, payments, adjustments and fees. To match a settlement with its corresponding authorization, use the AUTHORIZATION CODE or SOURCE ID (which are identical for card transactions).

These types of transactions do not have corresponding entries in the Authorized Transactions RDF:

  • Adjustments
  • Most payments, except for Mastercard and Maestro loads (PMML, PMMX)
  • Visa, Green Dot, and MoneyGram card loads
  • Account transfers
  • Mastercard Banknet merchant credits
  • Most fees.
    • The authorization request amount from an ATM includes all fees.
    • ATM fees that you assess are broken out separately in the Posted Transactions RDF. The ORIGINAL AUTH CODE for the fee contains the AUTHORIZATION CODE of the original ATM authorization.
  • ACH transactions
  • Direct deposit
  • Bill pay
  • Chargebacks, second presentments, provisional credit, and arbitration
  • Charge offs
  • Force-posted settlements
  • Roundups

Post time for completions

The timestamp for a posted transaction usually corresponds to the time Galileo posts the transaction to the cardholder account. However, in the case of completions (transaction type C), the completion time in the Posted Transactions RDF is the time of the completion, whereas the amount is settled later, after Galileo receives the batch settlement file.

For example, a cardholder gets a preauthorization at a gas pump for 75.00 at 09:00:01 and Galileo places a 75.00 hold on the account. The completion for 35.00 arrives through the authorization stream at 09:04:30. Galileo backs out the 75.00 and places a 35.00 hold on the account. The timestamp for the completion in the Authorized Transactions RDF and the Posted Transactions RDF is 09:04:30, but the actual settlement will be a day or so later. This later settlement is visible in the CST and Program API responses but not in the Posted Transactions RDF.

For an example of a completion at a gas pump see Five-step sequence in Card Transaction Examples and Scenario 2: Preauthorization with Completion.

Foreign settlements

When a foreign transaction is settled, TRANSACTION AMOUNT is in the currency of the account rather than the currency of the merchant. The currency conversion is performed by the card network, and it reflects the conversion rate at the time the transaction cleared, which may be a different rate than when the transaction was authorized.

See Foreign authorizations for more information.

Posted Transactions RDF fields

This table contains the default fields for the Posted Transactions RDF. The primary key for this file is UNIQUE PROGRAM ID + AUTHORIZATION CODE + TRANSACTION CODE/TYPE.

The Source column indicates where the value came from: Galileo, a Nacha file or a data element (DE) in the ISO 8583 message from the network. The actual DE number for a field may vary by network, and not all DEs are present for all networks.

"Signed" amounts have a + (credit) or - (debit) sign to indicate which way the funds moved relative to the account, for example: 30.25- for a debit or 23.67+ for a credit.

Lookup file

Use the Lookup file to interpret the codes in some of the RDF fields. The Lookup file for a particular day contains only those values that are included with the other RDFs on that day, so this file will include some values on one day that it does not include on other days.

The DESCRIPTION field contains a short description rather than a long description, because the specific meaning for some fields is different for each Galileo client according to their setup.

The primary key for this table is FILE TYPE + FIELD NAME + CODE. There is no foreign key to link this file to the other RDFs. All fields are strings.
