File ripper is a program that has been developed by DEEWR to enable HEP's to remove and add any width of characters to any position on the file and make the transition from the 2008 specification to the new 2009 specification. Particularly to assist with the remove of element 300 as the starting element on all files.

All Users will need to be registered at HEIMS in order to access their own HEPCode in HEPCAT. For any access issues please contact us by emailing Heims.datacollections@deewr.gov.au.
Users will be given access to full functionality by default, however DEEWR are able to set a restricted access (all functions except data submission) if required. If this is required it should also be clearly stated in an email to DEEWR (as outlined above).
However, anyone will be able to use the basic functionality of HEPCAT (everything bar submit data) WITHOUT being registered under the TEST Hepcode of 9998. This is primarily designed for user training and/or TEST purposes.
