How TIDE Processes Large Files

If your file contains a large number of records, TIDE displays the validation results for a portion of those records and then completes the processing offline. As part of the processing, TIDE displays a page with your name and default email address, and prompts you to provide a phone number and optional alternate email. TIDE sends you an email when it completes the validation, and a second email after it commits the records to its databases.

Figure 37 describes the entire processing flow for file uploads.

Table 7 lists the various upload files and the number of records in those files that triggers offline processing. The column Number of Validated Records is the number x in Figure 43. For example, if your users upload file contains 1,000 records or more:

Files that contain more than 2,000 records are processed offline. For example, if your user upload file contains 2,000 records or more:

1. TIDE displays the validation results for the first 200 records.

2. If you commit the file:

   1. TIDE validates the remaining records offline and sends a validation report via email.

   2. TIDE then commits the error-free records and sends a report listing all errors and warnings via email.
