-{{{ippToPsps}}} is the interface between IPP and PSPS. In short, {{{ippToPsps}}} creates FITS files from IPP data, then publishes them to a datastore in the form of ''jobs''. On the PSPS side, the DXLayer polls the datastore, collects jobs when they become available, then converts the contents to {{{csv}}} files before sending them on to special MSSQL loader software, which ''merges'' them into the PSPS database. Ultimately there will be feedback from PSPS regarding errors in the received data, to which {{{ippToPsps}}} will need to respond.

 It is intended that the binary tables in the FITS files generated by {{{ippToPsps}}} match the PSPS database schemas perfectly, the consequence being that any alterations to the PSPS database schema will only affect {{{ippToPsps}}} code, and not the DXLayer. A certain amount of data validation will be performed by {{{ippToPsps}}} before publication, more validation occurring at the loading and merge stages on the PSPS side.

-{{{ippToPsps}}} is a C program within the IPP build. When given the correct arguments it will generate a single FITS for the specified product (above). The program is run from a Perl script, which itself generates a list of exposure IDs based on arguments provided by the user (label etc). An instance of {{{ippToPsps}}} is run per exposure ID. Upon completion, the calling script bundles the resultant FITS files up as a ''job'', then publishes it to the datastore, ready for collection by the DXLayer.
