• Step-by-step: Performing transfers in the ILAP desktop app

Abstract 

ILAP Data Exchange is about data transfers. After the ILAP exchange agreement (IEA) is set up and the start date has arrived, transfer events are created at the frequency that has been defined. The transfer events consist of an Upload and a Download and are performed in the Execute component. Currently, there is one Execute component available: the ILAP desktop app, more about execute components can be found here.
 This articles shows the step-by-step process of performing transfers in the ILAP desktop app.

In the future, there will be an Autonomous component that will automatically perform the transfers.

3. You can perform a single transfer, or do multiple transfers at once. For a single transfer, simply click “Upload” or “Download” in the row of the transfer you want to perform. To do multiple transfers, select the transfers with the checkboxes on the left side of each row. Then click “Upload” or “Download” in any of the rows you want to perform the transfer of.

5. Transfer feedback for Uploads and Downloads can be successful or fail. You will get immediate feedback after the transfer has been competed. When a transfer is successful, it will disappear from the table on the next login. In case of a failed transfer, the detail log gives information on how to solve the problem. The transfer stays available in the table and can be done again.
