End-of-day batch upload Definition.

The transfer, historically overnight, of the batches stored in the POS terminal to the acquirer for clearing, using the CB2A protocol in France. Each session uploads the transactions, updates the terminal’s parameters remotely and refreshes its security tables. The move from dial-up to IP made it more reliable, and always-connected terminals are shifting toward continuous submission.
