Template:BIBID Import

Pre-requisites

In order to run the BIBID Import you need:

• The Firebird Client Library installing on the same PC as the import will run
• The server name and path of the BIBID database.

If you install the iBID client application on a PC that already has BIBID installed on it, then the above pre-requisites are taken care of automatically.

Running the import

1. Perform the BIBID Import and transfer it to the National Database:
   1. Run the Step 1 of the BIBID Data Transfer which will Import from BIBID v1 (this may take several hours)
   2. When the BIBID Data Transfer is fully completed, run Step 2, Export database... (this should only take a few minutes)
   3. Zip the exported file and upload to the National Database via the upload facility at nww.mdsas.nhs.uk/ibidupload (Maximum upload size 23Mb)

Note: the export and data transfer is a one-time requirement. All future updates will be transmitted in real-time from within the IBID client app
