Each file name must be unique and must include:
7-digit data sync collection ID - Include as the first element of the file name, immediately followed by a period. This ensures that the file will be processed under the correct data sync collection.
OCLC institution symbol - Include as the second element of the file name, separated from the collection ID by a period.

A valid 7-digit data sync collection ID must be included at the beginning of the file name and must be immediately followed by a period.
The OCLC institution symbol for which the file should be processed must be included as the second element of the file name and must be preceded and followed by a period.

@ will be replaced with _64
$ will be replaced with _36
