Managing Validations

Validation enables you to review and manage the imported data in the staging table.

Validations to be executed:

• Missing correlation id (Correlation id)
• Missing parent correlation id in case the type is Control module (Control module parent id)
• Missing serial number (Serial number)
• Missing transformed name (Transformed name)
• Missing MAC Address (validation is executed on column MAC Address 1)
• Missing type (Type)
• Missing rack number (Rack number)
• Missing slot number (Slot number)
• Equipment model entity path does not exist (Equipment model entity path)
• Site name provided is invalid (Site name)
• Validate duplicates on transformed name (Transformed name)
  Note:

  This validation is skipped for control modules.
• Validate duplicates on MAC Address (check on all MAC Address 1 columns)
• Validate duplicates on Serial number column (Serial number)
• Validate duplicates on Correlation id column (Correlation id)
• Validate duplicates on rack and slot numbers
  Note:

  This validation is only for control modules.
• Validate Has Module and Control module Parent ID
  Note:

  This validation is only for PLCs and control modules.
• Validate Invalid types - Compare against the default Excel type to OT device type mapping through the sn_otsm_sgc.SGOTAssetImportExtensionPoint extension point implementation.

  If you have additional mappings, create an extension point implementation for the base system sn_otsm_sgc.SGOTAssetImportExtensionPoint extension point.
