File Upload in Datafeed Notation 
Use
A file interface has been developed for transferring market data into the system. Using this file interface, you can run a report (RFTBDF06) to transfer both current and historical market data in datafeed notation to the datafeed module and to the TRM applications.
You need to enter an input date with the rate/price dates in a certain form (see below) and the entries are then added to the master data, provided that they are error-free.

All file lines of the file that will be available must have this structure. All file lines are not permissible.

· In order to import via the applications server (i.e. no PC upload), you need authorizations to access files from ABAP programs.
· For rate/price maintenance of the operative SAP Tables, you need authorization groups FC32 (Currencies), FC16 (Interest rates), TRZ (Indexes), FC00 (Currency volatilities) and TRMK (Interest rate volatilities).
There must be corresponding entries in datafeed Customizing in order to use this report. The datafeed notations must be defined in the corresponding translation tables.
