Batch File Download

Raw data files attached to successful batches can be downloaded via hyperlinks from inside or outside of xMart. The user or external applicaiton must be authenticated and authorized.

Links to raw data files follow this pattern:

https://{base url}/{mart code}/files/download?fileId={8 digit batch ID}__{raw file name}

“8 digit batch ID requires leading 0 padding. Example:

https://extranet-uat.novel-t.ch/xmart4/critter_test/files/download?fileId=00031417__original_filename.csv

Navigating this link opens a file download page similar to file download pages on the internet. The message “Your download should begin shortly. ‘Click here’ if it doesn’t.”

As an added benefit, these links can be put into xMart tables to be combined with metadata columns such as country, year, etc.
