Validate submission files without uploading

Validate only is a simplified feature to validate the file without real uploading to ABM in order to correct all warnings and errors found prior to uploading or not to upload the submission file by mistake.  

Follow the below steps to validate a submission file.

Step 1. Select a submission file (or files) with means of Select Files to Upload button or just drag and drop as many files as they need.

The grid below shows the files summary in lines.

Step 2. Click Validate only.

The file starts validating against the specific validation rules set. Progress bar at the bottom of the tab shows validating progress. Besides, Cancel button appears at the top to let you cancel a submission file validating if it takes a lot of time.

When the process is finished, a dialog appears saying that the file validating is finished either successfully or not. After that, the submission file is discarded.

Step 3. Click OK in that dialog.

The dialog closes.

Status panel below the grid shows Last Uploading Progress with the following details:

• File – the file name (same as in Submissions Summary grid);
• Validation Status – possible values are:
• Successfully validated on ABM if Status = Success or Success with warnings;
• Failed to validate on ABM if Status = Failed;
• Error Description – contains found warnings or (and) errors count;
• Error Report Name – the full path to the errors report file;
• Error Code returned by ABM uploading web service.

All other details are the same as for Upload submission files functionality: you can open Upload Validation Report to review warnings and errors, export data to Excel. etc.
