To design the application, you can either fetch the sample data from the Reckon Accounts Hosted source by providing the data source connection details or upload a sample data file in one of the supported formats to see the schema details during the application design phase.

Upload Data File #

To design the application, please upload a data file containing sample records in a format supported by Gathr.

The sample data provided for application design should match the data source schema from which data will be fetched during runtime.

If Upload Data File method is selected to design the application, provide the below details.

File Format #

Select the format of the sample file depending on the file type.

Gathr-supported file formats for Reckon Accounts Hosted data sources are CSV, JSON, TEXT, Parquet and ORC.

For CSV file format, select its corresponding delimiter.

Header Included #

Enable this option to read the first row as a header if your Reckon Accounts Hosted sample data file is in CSV format.

Upload #

Please upload the sample file as per the file format selected above.

Fetch From Source #

If Fetch From Source method is selected to design the application, then the data source connection details will be used to get sample data.

Continue to configure the data source.

Connection Name #

Connections are the service identifiers. A connection name can be selected from the list if you have created and saved connection details for Reckon Accounts Hosted earlier. Or create one as explained in the topic - Reckon Accounts Hosted Connection →

Use the Test Connection option to ensure that the connection with the Reckon Accounts Hosted channel is established successfully.

A success message states that the connection is available. In case of any error in test connection, edit the connection to resolve the issue before proceeding further.

Entity #

Tables in Reckon Accounts Hosted are statically defined to model Reckon Accounts Hosted entities.

If you selected the Fetch From Source method to design the application, the Entities will list as per the configured connection. Select the entity to be read from Reckon Accounts Hosted.

If you selected the Upload Data File method to design the application, the exact name of the entity should be provided to read the data from Reckon Accounts Hosted.

If you selected the Fetch From Source method to design the application, the Fields would list as per the Entity chosen in the previous configuration parameter. Select the fields or provide a custom query to read the desired records from Reckon Accounts Hosted.

Fields #

The conditions to fetch source data from a Reckon Accounts Hosted table can be specified using this option.

Select Fields: Select the column(s) of the entity that should be read.

Custom Query: Provide an SQL query specifying the read conditions for the source data.

Example: SELECT "Id" FROM Companies

If you selected the Upload Data File method to design the application, provide a custom query to fetch records from the Reckon Accounts Hosted entity specified in the previous configuration.

Query #

The conditions to fetch source data from a Reckon Accounts Hosted table can be specified using this option.

Provide an SQL query specifying the read conditions for the source data.

Example: SELECT "Id" FROM Companies

Read Options #

This section contains additional read options that can be configured on need basis.

Polling Interval #

This determines the polling interval in milliseconds to check whether the result is ready to be retrieved.

This property determines how long to wait between checking whether or not the query’s results are ready.

Very large result sets or complex queries may take longer to process, and a low polling interval may result in many unnecessary requests being made to check the query status.

Async Timeout #

The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation.

The operations run until they complete successfully or until they encounter an error condition.

If Async Timeout expires and the operation is not yet complete, an exception will be thrown.

Custom Field Mode #

Which nested data format (XML,JSON) custom fields should be displayed in.

XML is the traditional way of displaying custom fields and will be compatible with older implementations.

However, JSON is more compact and may be more appropriate if the values are being saved to a database or other tool that cannot easily traverse the XML structure.

Include Line Items #

Whether or not to request Line Item responses from Reckon Accounts Hosted when retrieving a base transaction, such as Invoices.

This will not affect Line Item tables, only base transaction tables. Setting this value to false will typically result in better performance.

Include Linked Txns #

Whether or not to request Linked Transactions from Reckon Accounts Hosted when retrieving a base transaction, such as Invoices.

This will not affect Linked Transaction tables, only base transaction tables. Setting this value to false will typically result in better performance.

Page size #

The maximum number of results to return per page from Reckon Accounts Hosted.

The Page size property affects the maximum number of results to return per page from Reckon Accounts Hosted. Setting a higher value may result in better performance at the cost of additional memory allocated per page consumed.

Partitioning is disabled by default.

If enabled, an additional option will appear to configure the partitioning conditions.
