Instructions for requesting a batch of data from DSM
This article describes how to generate the requestor file for the DSM Lab Extract. The file is stored on a file share that DSM can access. See Instructions for importing a batch of DSM Data for the related import process.
How frequently to request
We will request quarterly.
Initially our DSM contact had concerns about workload and wanted a lower frequency, but then he said "Send on the ‘requestor’ file as often as you want to see the output and I will make the time." (as per email from Alun Carter, Monday, February 06, 2017 10:50)
Instruction/steps for requesting data
- copy files to local, they are large and won't work well on a share.
- make a new local directory
- Put the following into the directory
- make sure you have data where the NDC's have been completed. You should copy PREVIOUS days backup of both the centralized and PHIA data files.
- Centralized_data.mdb -the last one has been fully checked for links
- PHI.mdb
- DSM_Labs_Consistency_check.accdb
- DSM Labs data.accdb
- make sure you have data where the NDC's have been completed. You should copy PREVIOUS days backup of both the centralized and PHIA data files.
- open DSM Labs Consistency check.accdb
- click the "Export requestor file" button
- If you get the error message 58- there is already file in the folder that you need to delete.
- follow the wizard, which will export a file to the shared folder and start an email to DSM
- close Access and delete files you had copied
- enter at the top of the log below when you requested data, and for what range
- check the number requestors.xls if the same as the number you requested by using the send date time.
missing dispo dates
if at import time a dispo dttm is still missing it will be replaced with Now().
Dependencies
The request process asks for all, and the import process de-duplicates, so there should be no gaps or overlaps.
