Is it possible for Morningstar to keep certain data feed files that we receive on the ftp for a longer period of time?
The process for files being moved into the archive directory on the Morningstar FTP for data feeds is the same for all directories.All files are created and posted to FTP at around 10pm each weeknight. The following day (usually by 3pm), all files in the root directory will be moved into the archives directory. They will remain there for another 20 days and will be deleted permanently after such times. Note that files are not created over the weekend. Unfortunately, as this is standard practice across all clients who receive data feeds from Morningstar Australia and as such an extension to the time availability of files in the root directory for prolonged periods cannot be done.
