Intego data download on user request

Scope

The scope of the process described in this document is the Intego desktop, also known as the ‘Python’ server. This is a Citrix Desktop (server SCN-P-XAW03) in which ‘Pyhton’ users (accounts ending with _P) can access the Intego data using Python and R software. As usual no data can be downloaded from this server by the users. Since there was a need to be able to download ‘result’ data from the server, a process was set up in which the data are downloaded by an admin of HD DWH, and provided to the requesting user. This document describes that process.

It is important to note that the requested files need to be verified that they comply to the rules. The rules are that only aggregated/summarised data is allowed, no detailed data. No fields/columns containing patientID etc. The files need to be in CSV format or image format (for graphs), so we can open them and verify the contents. If they don’t comply then the files will not be send, and a mail is send to the requestor indicating he/she has to adapt the files content or format!
