Planner can get the DNA file from the field in any of the following format:

  • Text

  • CSV

  • TSV

Note: Ascendo includes all records except the one which Equipment State equals Planned.

Ascendo allows the users to provide three types of files:

  1. Cards

  2. Shelves

  3. Ports

Cards file:

Key fields are: NE name, HW code number and Equipment state. See sample image below:

Shelves:

Key fields are NE name and HW code number. See sample image below:

Ports:

Key fields are NE name, Equipment State and Part number. See sample image below.

 

Ascendo processes the entire file set and first validates them for the correct fields. If the fields are missing or incorrect file is uploaded, Ascendo will show up an error indicating it is an invalid file (*Bad DNA File).

If the file format is correct, Ascendo will continue the rest of the analysis automatically. If the file can be fully processed, Planner will get an email on the completion and they can come back to Ascendo and review the results.

If the analysis runs into issues, Ascendo will provide a method for the user to export and review the errors. The user can either fix the errors and upload the corrected file, reprocess the entire analysis, or continue as is with the valid records. The following shows what happens when there is an error:
