Distributed Data Collection (DDC) for RA Including HCRP/EDGE Server FAQ

Guidance for FAQ regarding Edge Server Operations and Reports

Program Area: Distributed Data Collection (DDC) for RA Including HCRP/EDGE Server

Question: Will all error codes associated with a record be reported or only the first error encountered?

Answer: For each record that processes, there is a hierarchy of verifications that occur. Required and Face validity must pass before reference and logical verifications can occur. Where possible, all errors associated with a record will be reported on the detail error report. However, if a required or face validity element fails, the record cannot proceed to reference and logical edits and therefore, an acceptance or reject on those verifications could not be provided during the initial processing. For example, if there are three (3) errors at the reference or logical edit steps, all three (3) errors would be reported.
