Proper Folder Set-Up for XMLInbound

NOTE: "ICPOESQC" folder is set-up for this tutorial

  1. Set-Up main folder (rename to "ICPOESQC").  Currently these folders on the US server are named after the instrument they are set-up for.  This folder will hold the three sub folders and XML files after they have been processed using the PPF file.
  2. In the main folder create a sub folder and rename it to: "XSL".  This folder will hold the XSL file needed to match parameter names from instrument to WinLIMS
  3. In the main folder create a sub folder and rename it to: "PPF".  This folder will hold a PPF file needed to take the export file from the instrument and extract necessary data into an XML file.
  4. In the main folder create a sub folder and rename it to: "Archive".  This folder will hold all the files which have been imported into LIMS
