5. Batch Processes 5 What’s the Big Picture? Collect Samples Format the Data Send the Data so AQS Can See it (CDX) Load the Data (Includes Error Detection) Correct Any Errors & Reprocess Analyze and Approve Sample Data Make Available to Everyone Happens Outside of AQS Raw Data Only

6. Batch Processes 6 Where Do I Start?

7. Batch Processes 7 Where To Go From Here Files that You have Transferred to CDX List of All Batch Processes run for Screening Group Available Processes Available Reports

13. Batch Processes 13 Batch Load: Use CDX to transfer data from their PC to server (cont.) 8. After receiving email notice of delivery, click on Refresh CDX to see the newly loaded files.

14. Batch Processes 14 File is on the server - We are finished with CDX Now, how to load the file(s) to AQS?

17. Batch Processes 17 CDX Production Tables – Production Status Legend Errors End Raw Edit/Load Summary Load File Staging Tables N Batch Report Online N Batch Load: Loading other than Raw Data Possible Results of Load - COMPLETED load - Load with ERROR No data in Staging tables, Summary reports successes; End Data in Staging tables, Summary reports successes and failures; next step fix errors

18. Batch Processes 18 Recap Steps: No Raw Data and No Errors CDX  Load No Raw Data and Errors CDX  Load  Correct  Submit Correct Data Raw Data and No Errors CDX  Load  Stat/CR  Post Raw Data and Errors CDX  Load  Correct  Submit Correct Data  Stat/CR  Post Status = R Status = S Status = P

19. Batch Processes 19 Caveats: A batch load job can end with a status of “WARNING” The only way to see the warning message is to look at the email job log. Example Warnings: Urbanized Area Code replaced by Geospatial Lookup

20. Batch Processes 20 Put it into Practice: Exercise 2.2

21. What is changing? Submit a file without logging into AQS New CDX website (ENSC) & new CDX user ID Files submitted to ENSC will be automatically processed by AQS Stat/CR is now part of Load New AQS batch form Processing done by file, not by screening group Reports are auto-generated Reports are consolidated Batch Processes 21

22. “Old” vs “New” process AQS User AQS CDX replacement 1 st Q 2012 AQS Autoloader User Decides Where to Stop EN Node CDX Web Old process New process Stage LoadPost Upload Via CDX LoadStatCRPost Batch Processes 22

23. AQS Batch form (“new”) Batch Processes 23

24. ENSC website Exchange Network Services Center (ENSC) The CDX replacement EN Username = your email address Batch Processes 24

25. ENSC -- file upload form required optional required for XML Stage Load Post Yes No File to Upload Email address AQS User ID Screening Group Stop on Error: required optional Final Processing Step XML Schema File Type XML Flat Card One file only; Must be zipped Default Final Processing Step is Load.
