IRIS Test Submission (Required)

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

 

After you have performed the test communication, you must transmit a TEST submission.

All users are required to perform a Test communication before forms can be submitted in the Production system.

This process changes the mode of your TCC from Test to Production.

 

When you have successfully processed a Test submission, the status on your TCC page will change from  T to P.

 

Steps to perform this test.

 

 

1.Go to IRIS A2A Filer and Check the box for TEST Mode.
2.On the Dataset manager, click Find Datasets and locate the dataset called "TestSubmitData.mtw" and add it into the manager.
3.Open the "TestSubmitData" - DO NOT EDIT this data.
4.Make sure you are still in TEST MODE and Go to the IRIS Generate option and generate for ONE of the Form Types
5.Still in Test Mode, Go to IRIS Submit / Upload, select the test generation, start a session and submit the Test Data.  Once the submit finishes, close the Submit window.
6.Go to the IRIS Check Status window and with the Session still active (or start another if it's not), click Update Status.
7.If the Status changes to Accepted, you are all set, if it says Submitted or Processing you may need to wait a few minutes and re-check.  If after 15 minutes you do not receive an Accepted status, select the submission and click the Get Details button. This will check for errors.
8.Once you receive an Accepted status you have successfully submitted a test.
9.Locate the Receipt ID from the Test report on the Status Update screen - click Copy Receipt to copy to the clipboard  - you will need this for the ATS Review.
10.Call the IRIS HelpDesk for an ATS Review.
