MOVEit review of files

We have recently undertaken a review of MOVEit, our file transfer service, and identified a large number of files which have remained on the system for some time, and are now out of date.

Posted Wed 13 February 2019

Recent feedback from providers has also highlighted that users have been unable to delete files, which is causing confusion when new ones are received.

To comply with data security, we’ll be deleting any files dated before 1 December 2018 from MOVEit on Friday 8 March 2019. Any files dated from 2 December onwards will remain available to download until further notice.

We’ll be scheduling file removals throughout the cycle, and will share a timetable of these in the next few weeks. Please ensure you download all your required documents before we delete them, as we will not be able to resupply these files.

File names

Feedback from our satisfaction survey highlighted that providers wanted help identifying files in MOVEit. To ensure a consistent approach to naming, all files are identifiable through the following convention:

  • HEPcode_nameofoutput_dateofoutput

For example, for the provider-level January deadline age report, the file name would be:

  • C00_jandeadline2018age_15012018
