There are a number of potential transfer methods that could be used to send the survey data as an xml file back to a given renal unit. Initially it is proposed that an sftp server is used to transfer the files. This could be the sftp server UKRR host sftp.ukrdc.nhs.uk or it could be sent from the UKRR to an sftp server hosted at the renal unit.
The current process configured in mirth is to identify which unit the survey is for and then use a specific sftp transfer process for that unit. This connects to an sftp server configured at the unit. By default initially each units files went ot a folder on the N3 SFTP server internally. This setup just needs pointing to the correct units server when details are available. It will also be necessary to ensure aimes has enabled outgoing transfers to their server ip on the required port.
It is envisaged that this transfer process could be developed further to use more web based protocols.
