There are now two formats of the DPV, LACSLink, SuiteLink, and RDI directories available for download from the Software Downloads.

The downloads labeled SHA-256 will only work with Data Services 4.2 SP7 Patch 1 and later:



If you haven't upgraded to Data Services 4.2 SP7 Patch 1 or later then you should be downloading the one without the SHA-256 label.

Important Note: The original format of these directories is only available until June 2017 and anyone using the affected directories will need to upgrade to Data Services 4.2 SP7 Patch 1 or later.

Q - Why is SAP doing this!?

A - It is a USPS required change to make the directories more secure.

Q - Do the DPV, LACSLink, SuiteLink, and RDI directories all need to be the same format?

A - Yes.
