Here is the sequence of steps to add a new list:

1 - start with a manual load; this allows you to create the basics of the list....after the list has manually loaded, for future automatic loads

2 - determine if the file is going to be a zip or a straight cvs/txt file by hitting the suppression link in your browser

3 - get the list ID.  This comes from the suppression table in the pub in the "detail" column

4 - access the publisher server:

ssh root@192.168.2.10

cd /home/dev/WorkRoot/proffiliates/database

vi suppressiongrabber.cfg

HitPath

outfile = file to write to

id = our suppression list id from Pub

params = login to hitpath's site, click on "api tool" to get the apikey

campaignid = offer id from hitpath's site

host = xxx.xxx.xxxx once logged into hitpath site

Non HitPath

add the new setup, following the naming conventions for the Outfile using either zip - txt - csv

use the proper ID

save and quit (:wq)

5 - update the supp properties file 

vi supp.properties

add it to the big list as shown, following the naming convention of the Outfile

use the proper ID

save and quit  (:wq)

6 - Deploy the new files

ant deploy
