Source/Background Access (SOASBGA) page

The Source/Background Access (SOASBGA) page is used to create institution-specific information that includes host name, remote directory, user name, and password information for the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) location for the XML transcript transmission.

The page also includes an indicator that controls whether the transcript transmission will use the specific information on SOASBGA or the default FTP location information on SHACTRL.

Note: Password information is encrypted when entered and is not accessible without being unencrypted.
