HTTP-based data upload

The IBM Enhanced Customer Data Repository (ECuRep) Web interface is intended for customer file upload.

Please note that due to web browser limitations only files up-to 2 GByte can be uploaded.

Initially, the PMR number, branch office and country code need to be entered and an upload directory needs to be chosen. This directory allows tailored backend processing per platform or per software brand. In addition, an e-mail address may be entered. This address is used to send e-mail notification as soon as the upload has been successful.

On the second Web page, up to five files can be selected for upload. If Javascript is enabled, a page will be displayed during the data upload process providing information on the progress of the upload such as total upload size, current position, time elapsed, estimated time remaining and estimated upload speed. If Javascript is disabled, no such information can be provided. The browser window needs to remain open until a new Web page is displayed showing information on the upload performed. Leaving or closing the upload page terminates the upload process. All data for failed uploads will be removed from the Web server.

No file naming convention is required for HTTP-based data upload because the PMR number, branch office and country code are automatically prefixed to each file uploaded.

The ECuRep Web interface is tested using Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
