After uploading your file, you can still delete the file if it hasn't picked-up by the processing pipeline. Once the file is picked-up, you cannot delete the file anymore or cancel the processing. The system will check for new files every 10 minutes. Therefore, the time that you have left to delete the file can vary.

Processing reports

...

PLEASE NOTE: Once the file has been added to the processing pipeline service the file will then move to the Archive folder. Files in the Archive folder cant be deleted. As a user you only have read/write access to your workspace. You only have read access to Archive and Reports folder.

Processing reports

Once the processing pipeline picked-up the file, it will start with all kind of validations and checksinitial validations in a sequence. The sequence is: Decrypting the file > XML file structure validation > Data content validation > HLA validation. Only once all of these validations have been completed will the system provide registry users a notification and a report that will indicate the outcome of the file processing. Processing messages are generated and stored in a file in your reports folder. All messages are collected in one file for each file you uploaded to the system.
