- #11 This begins when we receive the har Validate and Update: This commands the DVV to check the data for adherence to the NDNP technical specification. If successful, the DVV creates digital signatures for each object being validated, and it records the signatures in XML files at the batch, issue, and reel level as necessary. These XML files are commonly referred to as the 'underscore 1' files (e.g. batch_1.xml). A batch without 'underscore 1' files has not been validated.Validate With No Update:This commands the DVV to simply check the data for adherence to the NDNP technical specification. No signatures are created, and no changes are made to the batch. This is often used as a test run validation prior to initiating “validate and update”. Verification: Batch verification checks the digital signatures of all files in the batch. This process can only be initiated after a batch has been validated. Typically vendors and awardees verify that a batch is valid before shipping. Verification is a process to help ensure integrity of data over time. Generally, it should occur anytime data moves across storage systems and anytime changes are made to a batch. d drive with all of the files on it. We run a verification, which is from LoC
