Import Log

this article may be the evil twin of ImportLog Also referred to as the Append Log.

This is a log files that is created automatically by the PDA Uploader.exe. every time the Data Processor uploads (appends) most of the sent csv files to either the Master Critical CareTMSXdatabase or the Master Medicine MedTMSdatabase repository. Other parts of the data that is sent if automatically appeneded other databases the reside on the Regional Server See Data Repository.

The Import log file records the following information:

• append batch number
• name of CSV file that was sent from site: e.g. 50_HSC_MICU_GH.txt
• import date
• number of files in the batch sent from a site
• start or first database study number in main database that the first file in the batch appends to.
• end of last database study number in main database that last file in the batch appends to.

The data processor prints out the Import Log report each week when she appends data to master database.

• The import log is not readable in current format. The programmer is working on electronic version which will eliminate the need to print out this log each week. Trish Ostryzniuk 18:57, 2012 October 25 (EDT)

Filing Import log

• Blue label binder for ICU
• Red label binder for MED

At the beginning of each New Year, the import log file is renamed by the data processor and the record is kept in backup folder for that year. A new log file will automatically be created with the append batch number starting back at number one. This is done to avoid large numeric batch numbers.

Location of Import log file

Is located on the local C drive of main data processor's computer:

Critical Care TMSX database:

• C:\CritPDAdnld\ImportLog\CriticalLog.log

Medicine database MedTMS:

• C:\MEDPDAdnld\ImportLog\MedicalLog.log

Import log Paper Record

A print out is done every week and stored in an binder in the office. One for Critical Care and another one for Medicine.

• note: September 6.12 - The Database Programmer is working on changing PDA Uploader.exe so that the import log is saved as a CSV. Currently log has some machine language written into it which makes it unreadable. We cannot view, print or export it. Only the PDA Uploader can execute it to output in readable format.

Import Log Electonic Record

When programmer makes the changes we will no long print & store these logs in binders. Will have this in place before end of 2012. Trish Ostryzniuk 18:57, 2012 October 25 (EDT)
