XML File Names

An export job extracts data into one or more XML files that it creates in the Output directory. DSI avoids naming conflicts by generating the XML file name at extraction time. The naming convention for files exported from a CRO site is:

database_global_name||x_area||database_sequence_number.xml

Names for files exported from the sponsor site follow the same convention, except that they also contain the prefix SPN_.

In both cases, all characters must be in uppercase.

In the Database Global Name portion, any periods (.) are replaced by underscores (_). For an explanation of X Areas, see Defining X Areas.

If any errors are encountered when the file is imported, the error file will appear with the same name in the error directory.
