Execute dispatch file extraction manually

The integration enables the automation of data transfers between IWRS and various vendor data providers. Currently, the shipment data exchange is supported via integration. To establish the shipment data providers for your study, you add the respective vendors to the list of integrations and configure their integration settings.

One such integration type is dispatch integration. Once configured, the system starts the daily file extraction from the vendor's server to update the shipment details in IWRS. However, there is an option to execute file extraction manually if you know that on the vendor's side, there is new information that you want to pull to IWRS immediately and not wait for the system-scheduled run.

To execute the dispatch file extraction manually

  1. In the IWRS application header, select the INTEGRATION tab.

  2. From the left pane, select the Integration Setting subtab.
