Organisations using Bulk File Uploads
If you are submitting data via the Bulk Upload function, it is important to check that your files were successful to ensure that you submit complete data sets.
To check this, go to the page ‘View uploaded files’ in the Data Exchange Web Portal. This page displays the list of all the files uploaded by the organisation. Check the status row of the table for any files that have the status: ‘Failed’. Expand the row to download the error file for this submission.
Click the name of any file to see more information about that file such as upload progress, and a breakdown of total, successful and failed records by entity type.
For more information on this process, please refer to Section 5 of the Bulk File Upload Technical Specifications document in the training section of the Data Exchange website. The Bulk XML upload errors and explanations is also a useful guide to help you identify some of the most common errors.
