title-- My file is rejected with error: Incomplete typing found: HLA-A and HLA-B are required for Donors.

As part of the transition from dot20 to XML we can no longer accept values like for example "24" in a DNA field. To get this accepted, you have to add ":XX" to the value, so you will get the value "24:XX" (without the quotes).

title-- What is the allowed file name convention when uploadind a file?

 The file to be uploaded has to meet a particular file name convention: ION-[number]-[type].[file type].[encription type]

  • The file name has to begin ION, than a dash and followed by the 4-digit ION number (ION-xxxx) : For example ION-9999-D.xml.pgp
  • Following the ION number you have to specify the type (C or D), starting with a dash and ending with a dot: For example ION-9999-D.xml.pgp
  • Follwing the type you have to specify the format (.zip or .xml), seperated with dots: For example ION-9999-D.xml.pgp
  • At the end you have to specify the encription file format (.pgp or .gpg): For example ION-9999-D.xml.pgp

The end result should look something like these examples: ION-6666-C.zip.gpg, ION-0999-D.xml.pgp
