    Brickwork Download Journal Imports
    wide-image.jpg

    The nightly download journal APEX Class should have been scheduled by your Admin as part of the Brickwork Installation and Configuration process. If you need to review it, you can follow the below instructions. If you need to change the schedule or the user who is running the job each day, you need to delete the existing schedule and create a new one. It can also be ran manually if needed, such as when the automated download failed for some reason.

    Review the existing Nightly Download Journal Schedule

    1. Within Setup, use quick find to locate Scheduled Jobs.
    2. Locate the job “iATS Nightly Download Journal”. Note: You may have named the job differently.
    3. Click on “Manage” to view the job details, or click “Del” to delete the job.

     

    Re-Schedule the Nightly Download Journal Schedule

    1. Within Setup, use quick find to locate Apex Classes.
    2. Click the Schedule Apex button.
    3. Enter “iATS Nightly Download Journal” for the job name.
    4. Within Apex Class, select the “iATSPayments_journal_log”.
    5. Select Weekly as the frequency, and select each day of the week.
    6. Leave today as the start date, but change the end date to be a date far into the future.
    7. Select a preferred start time between 7am and 7pm (Your own time zone). Internal iATS updates and maintenance may occur between 11:00pm and 4:00am nightly. Setting the “Preferred Start Time” during this window is not recommended.
    8. Click Save.


    Import the Download Journal Import Manually

    This option should be used if the Nightly Download Journal that is scheduled each day failed for some reason, or wasn’t scheduled properly. The Download Journal can be run for a maximum of 31 days at a time, for transactions processed in the past two years. UK DD Returns are only manually imported if tool is run one day at a time (begin date field).

    1. Click on the “iATS Settings” tab.
    2. Locate the “Batch Download Transactions” section at the bottom.
    3. Choose a Begin Date and End Date.
    4. Click Continue. A message will appear at the top of the page advising that a notification email will be sent once the Download is complete.

     

    Download Journal Notification Emails

     

    These emails are sent after the scheduled Nightly Download Journal is run each day, or run manually. Please review the iATS Settings page to see which email address is receiving these notifications. We recommend adding a generic email distribution list so that more than one person can receive the notifications.

    Key Concepts:

    • If the Transaction import is successful but the Return import fails, you should get one success email (# of Returns imported would equal 0), and one Returns Error template explaining why the Returns import failed. You can then re-run the download journal and import the Returns. At that point you would receive the success import template indicating 0 transactions and the # of returns imported.
    • If the Transaction import fails, the Return import isn't attempted. You should get the Transaction Error message (no mention of returns) so you can fix the errors. Then when you run the manual import you will get the success template showing them the number of transactions and returns that were imported. Should the Returns import actually fail, you should get the returns error message (no mention of transactions) allowing you to fix the reason for the returns fail. When you run the manual import you should get the success template indicating the number of returns imported.

     

    1. Successful Manual or Auto Download Journal:

    Body of Email:

    Dear **Name of client**,

    The iATS Transaction and iATS Return batch download to Salesforce is now complete for iATS Account(s): **client sub-code(s) **.

    Please note the following details:

    The Download Journal import process was successful for date period 01/03/2013 - 26/03/2013.

    Number of new iATS Transaction Records created (Approval and Rejected): 80

    Number of new iATS Customer Code Records created: 78

    Number of new Contact Records created: 18

    Number of new Opportunity (Donation) Records created: 78

    Number of new iATS Return Records created: 0

    Please note that if the above details indicate ‘0’ records were inserted, it means there was no new iATS Transaction or Return data to import into Salesforce. If you receive an iATS Returns error after this message, please address the details and try the import again.

    To ensure all ACH iATS Transactions are imported after weekends and Holidays, the scheduled Nightly Download Journal will import the prior four days of North American ACH processing.

    2. Failed Manual or Auto Download Journal for iATS Transactions ONLY:

    Subject line: Brickwork iATS Payments Download Journal Import – Error Received for Transactions

    Body of Email:

    Dear **Name of client**,

    The iATS Transactions batch download to Salesforce for date period 10/22/2014 - 10/22/2014 was unable to complete for iATS Account(s): **client sub-code(s) **, as the following error message has been received:

    **Error message varies per scenario**


    Please address the error details, and manually reattempt the batch download via the iATS Settings tab in Salesforce.

     

    If your Organization processes ACH or Direct Debit transactions with Brickwork, iATS Returns are imported only after a successful import of iATS Transactions has been completed. Once the iATS Transactions are imported successfully, iATS Returns will be attempted and if unsuccessful an error message will be sent.

    If you have any questions about the error or require further assistance, please contact iATS Customer Care at iatscs@iatspayments.com or 1-888-955-5455, option 1.

    Download Journal Import for iATS Transactions – Process flows

    The Download Journal enables Brickwork to retrieve an iATS Journal report containing all transaction data processed the prior day for Credit Card, and for the prior four consecutive days for North American ACH processing. NA ACH/EFT Return data and UK Direct Debit BACS reports are also imported to create iATS Return records.

    This tool ensures that all recurring transactions are recorded in Brickwork the day after they have been processed, and any missing Single iATS Transactions are imported into Salesforce.

    Important Concepts:

    • Only System Administrators are permitted to schedule the Download Journal. If the Salesforce User who creates the Apex Class is set to Inactive or deleted from Salesforce, the nightly Download Journal will no longer run, and will need to be rebuilt by the new Admin.
    • The download journal imports in batches of 10,000 iATS Transactions at a time, up to 100,000 maximum. If an error message is received during the import process the current batch and all future batches are aborted, however prior successful batches are not.
    • Credit Card transactions are imported daily at each scheduled import time, and include yesterday’s transactions. ACH North American transactions are imported daily at each scheduled import time, and include all transactions from the prior four days.
