The end of our development work is approaching!!
The last month, BMDW and our developers worked very hard to implement all the validation rules that are necessary to properly validate all data fields that can be provided in the XML files.
The big testing phase will start tomorrow. We will perform first many tests ourselves. During this period, you can also still upload your test files. We expect that the reports that will be generated upon uploading your file, will be much more accurate than before. However, if you experience any problems or find strange or unexpected error/warning messages, please contact us by sending an email to support@bmdw.org and we can determine together whether a mistake was made during implementation of a certain validation rule or that there was an inconsistency in your data file.
Together we can test and improve our new data processing pipeline!!
From October on, we will start testing with three larger organisations: Be the Match/NMDP, ZKRD, and Anthony Nolan. If all tests succeed and the system performs as expected, we will start the production system at the beginning of November.
If you have created also a test XML file and want to join the BMDW data upload service, please send us email to support@bmdw.org to get your account details.
