status on that date after successfully completing registration - Remained in a
Verified
status during the entire date - Changed from a
Verified

Customer File Definition
The Customer File is created by Helix on a daily basis. It has the following properties:
- Exactly one tab-delimited header line
- Zero or more tab-delimited content lines
- A tab character (
\t
, or0x09
) embedded in actual text content will be replaced with a space character (" ", or0x20
) during file generation - This file is tab-delimited to help reduce the size of file as it may grow considerably over time and possibly contain large sections of empty columns.
- ANSI encoded
- Line endings are Windows-style CarriageReturn + LineFeed (
\r\n
, or0x0D0A
) - File will be available in the relative directory of
/CustomerFiles
- File name follows a specific, case-sensitive pattern of:
yyyyMMddhhmm_CUSTOMER.TXT
Format Disclaimer
Helix reserves the right to append new field(s) to the end of any Header or Content line without notice. This is to allow new data points to be added as needed in a timely fashion.Implementation Note
Your code should be written such that unexpected characters after the "last" field but prior to the end of each line should be ignored. That is, if the file is documented as having 30 tabs per line, receiving a file with 31 or more per line should not disrupt your processing. This applies to both Header and Content lines.File Name Disclaimer
The date in file name should be used as a guideline for human eyes only. Any date-related programmatic dependencies should rely on theFileCreatedDate
orFileEffectiveDate
contained within the header line of each file, as these will be precise to the second and will be in the appropriate timezone.
