Load/Data Validation
Current Methodology:
- Validation processes are executed against files and records as they are applied to LRT.
- Data of Program systems, regions and states can be loaded into LRT with the following constraints:
- Files should conform to the Return File Format. Files provided in other formats will need to be provided with its file format to enable the file to be converted to the Return File Format.
- Records with pgm_sys_acrnm value of 'CERCLIS' can be loaded into LRT only if OSWER provides them. Records with pgm_sys_acrnm value of 'CERCLIS' that were not provided by OSWER can be loaded into LRT only if the pgm_sys_acrnm and pgm_sys_id values are changed to correspond to another Program ID.
- Records should contain code values that already exist in LRT. Records with new code values can be loaded into LRT if the code values are changed to existing code values or if the new value is loaded into LRT and EDR beforehand.
