Retrieving an archived file
Archived files are read-only. You cannot delete or manipulate them.
To retrieve a file from the Participant Archive:
- In the web portal > Data Load Import, click Participant Archive.
- The archive year folders display with a folder for each year having archived data (the year a file was acknowledged and deleted, not the year it was created although sometimes they are the same).
- The Last Modified date is the date and time the most recent subfolder for that Year was created (the date the most recent Month folder was created).
- To find a file to download, click the year.
- Keep drilling down through months, days, and time until you come to a folder with zip files.
- Use your browser Back button to navigate back through the folders.
- To open or save zip files, click on the file hyperlink.
- There is no relationship between the day folder and the date of the file name because the Year, Month, Day, and Time folder names are based on the date and time files were deleted and archived. The date and times associated with the files themselves are the date and time the file was created.
