File Transfer Technology​

The CSV files are transferred via an SFTP server. The server must be set up by the Agency and credentials must be given to Skills Workflow. Files pertaining to data transfers should be placed in the Data directory on the SFTP server. Files pertaining to process requests should be placed in the Process directory on the SFTP server.

File Naming Conventions​

Each CSV filename will have a body and suffix. The name will convey information to both Agency and Skills Workflow as to the intent and content of the file as described below. The file name format will be as follows: body_suffix.csv

Body​

The body of the filename is simply used to give a friendly name or to designate specific content.

Suffix​

The filename suffix is used to ensure a unique file name and implies a process order when multiple files with the same prefix and body exist. The suffix is simply the date and time relevant to the content of the file in the following format: YYYYMMDDHHmmss.

YYYY – The four character year MM – The two character month, left padded with a zero when necessary (01-12) DD – The two character day of the month, left padded with zero when necessary (01-31) HH – The two character hour, in 24 hour format, left padded with zero when necessary (00-23) mm – The two character minute, left padded with zero when necessary (00-59) ss – The two character second, left padded with zero when necessary (00-59)

File Naming Examples​

The following are examples of file names.

  • Users_20180815090119.csv – File originated by Agency, containing Users data to be consumed by Skills Workflow.
