d) General considerations

1. The Master Data Identification Process will be the following:

• The NSPA server application will monthly and automatically download the US H2/H6 DB2 tables from the DLIS (U.S. NCB) web site.

• Identify the changes in terms of: Creation, Cancellation, Deletion and Updates

• Post the monthly changes (P2 and P3 files) in the left Box “MONTHLY CHANGES” ;see

• The file layout should respect a predefined format, as detailed in CodSP-75A. For Sample Records, refer to CodSP-75B

• Keep the last 12 months files, including a download capability.

2. The Missing Translation Process will be the following :

• After each master data integration identify the NSC, NSG and INC of the respective nation for which no translation has not yet been provided.

• Post the monthly translation missing records (P2 and P3 files) in the right Box “MISSING TRANSLATIONS” ;see

• Keep the previous month files (P2/P3), including a download capability.

• The file layout should respect a predefined format, as detailed in CodSP-75A. For Sample Records, refer to CodSP-75B

3. On view of ACodP-2/3 update information, Nations should schedule translation of the relevant text elements.

• The file should respect a predefined transaction format, as detailed in CodSP-75A. (Sample Records are presented in CodSP-75B)

• In general, for those nations starting with the translation process, it is advisable to concentrate first on the “Missing translations” files.

• After this initial translation step, the respective nation should consult the “Monthly changes” to take corrective update action on the national translation files (ACodP-2 and ACodP-3)

• Get a routine to update the national ACodP-2/3 files on a monthly basis.

e) CAUTION

• Every NCB will be entirely responsible to upload the file in appropriate format (c.f. CodSP-75A) through the ACodP-2/3 application interface.

• It is recommended to start testing the “Upload Interface” with ONE SINGLE ACodP-2 and/or ACodP-3 record in order to familiarize with the new tool.

• The update is done in real time and can immediately be verified !
