Analysis Process

Use the Analysis Process Functionality to upload a .zip file containing bridge analysis exes and its dependencies. After you Verify the uploaded record, it will be published nightly though a separate process on server. The uploaded .zip file is stored in blob format in the azure blob storage and the relevant information is recorded in database (for example, file size, version, status, created user, created time, etc.). The .zip file name should follow these format conventions:  filename_mm-dd-yyyy.zip. Only one instance of a file can exist at any one time. This document illustrates correct use of the functionality and presents various scenarios you might face while using the functionality.

Page Layout

 

 

The Analysis Process grid has a toolbar with three buttons:  Create, Edit, Delete.

 

 

 

 

 

The grid has 7 columns:

  1. Version:  The version is the file name.

  2. Status:  The status signifies the stage of the progression at which the file stands. It can have three values (Uploaded, Verified, and Published).

  3. Created User:  This column displays the name of the user who created the record.

  4. Created Time:  This column displays the creation time of the record.

  5. Updated User:  This column displays the name of the user who has last updated the record.

  6. Updated Time:  This column displays the time at which the record was updated.

  7. Comments:  This column displays user-contributed comments.
