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.

Instructions

1. 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
     • Centralized_data.mdb
     • DSM_Labs_Consistency_check.accdb
     • PHI.mdb
     • CCMDB.mdb
2. open DSM_Labs_Consistency_check.accdb
3. pick the SentDtTm field range for which you want to export
   • starting should be the day after the last end date as per log below
   • ending date should be at least 28 days ago
4. click the "Export requestor file" button
5. follow the wizard
6. close Access and delete files you had copied
7. enter at the top of the log below when you requested data, and for what range

• Where does the request go? in email? or shared folder with Allun?
• Can we have a demo in June (Trish will book)?
• What again is the rational of ending date 28 days ago? I remember we discussed it before.
